120 VOLT AC PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY AND
USB CHARGING PORTS
This unit has a built-in Power Inverter that provides up to 200 watts of AC power. This
inverter is an electronic device that converts low voltage DC (direct current) electricity
from a battery to 120 volts AC (alternating current) household power. It converts
power in two stages. The first stage is a DC-to-DC conversion process that raises the
low voltage DC at the inverter input to 145 volts DC. The second stage is a MOSFET
bridge stage that converts the high voltage DC into 120 volts, 60 Hz AC.
Power Inverter Output Waveform
The AC output waveform of this inverter is known as a modified sine wave. It is a stepped
waveform that has characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This
type of waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power
supplies used in electronic equipment, transformers, and small motors.
Rated Versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment
Most electrical tools, appliances, electronic devices and audio/visual equipment have
labels that indicate the power consumption in amps or watts. Be sure that the power
consumption of the item to be operated is below 200 watts. If the power consumption
is rated in amps AC, simply multiply by the AC volts (120) to determine the wattage.
Resistive loads are the easiest for the inverter to run; however, it will not run larger
resistive loads (such as electric stoves and heaters), which require far more wattage
than the inverter can deliver. Inductive loads (such as TVs and stereos) require more
current to operate than do resistive loads of the same wattage rating.
CAUTION: Rechargeable Devices
• Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be charged by plugging them directly
into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the inverter or the charging
circuit.
• When using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten
minutes of use to determine if it produces excessive heat.
• If excessive heat is produced, this indicates the device should not be used with
this inverter.
• This problem does not occur with most of the battery-operated equipment. Most
of these devices use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC
receptacle.
• The inverter is capable of running most chargers and transformers.
Protective Features
The inverter monitors the following conditions:
Low internal battery voltage: The inverter will automatically shut down when the
battery voltage drops too low, as this can harm the battery.
High internal battery voltage: The inverter will automatically shut down when the
battery voltage is too high, as this can harm the unit.
Thermal shutdown protection: The inverter will automatically shut down when the unit
becomes overheated.
Overload/short circuit protection: The inverter will automatically shut down when an
overload or short circuit occurs.
IMPORTANT NOTES: The Inverter Power/Fault Indicator is located inside the
Translucent Inverter/USB Power Button. It will light solid when the unit is functioning
properly and flash to indicate that one of the above fault conditions is present before
automatic shutdown occurs.
Notes: This inverter’s USB charging ports do not support data communication. The ports
only provide a total of 2.1A (5V each) DC power to external USB-powered devices.
If a fault condition occurs in the 120V AC outlet OR any of the USB Charging Ports,
the Inverter Power/Fault Indicator will flash and both the 120V AC outlet and the
USB charging ports will shut down automatically.
Some USB-powered household electronics may not operate with these USB power
ports. Check the manual of the corresponding electronic device to confirm that it
can be used with this type of USB power port.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
Follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and
manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use with this unit. Review cautionary
markings on these products and on engine.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Black & Decker Jump-Starter with Compressor. Please
read this guide carefully before use to ensure optimum performance and avoid
damage to the unit or items that you are using it with.
CHARGING/RECHARGING
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long
battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly
at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy
lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use, manufacturer
recommends the battery be recharged at least every 30 days.
Notes: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it upon
purchase and before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 24
hours.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy
discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life. The
battery can be recharged using the Built-In 120 Volt AC Charger.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow
the recharging process.
IMPORTANT: If you know the unit is discharged, but the battery status LEDs
illuminate as if fully charged when connected to a charging power source, this may
be due to the internal battery having a high impedance. The manufacturer suggests
leaving the unit on charge for a period of 24-48 hours before use.
CAUTION – RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE: Failure to keep the battery charged will
cause permanent damage and result in poor jump-starting performance.
Charging/Recharging the Jump-Starter Using the 120 Volt AC
Charger and a Standard Household Extension Cord
(not included)
1. Lift the AC adapter cover located on the back of the unit and connect an extension
cord to the unit. Plug the other end of the cord into a standard 120-volt AC wall
outlet.
2. Charge until the green Battery Status LED Indicator lights solid or flashes.
