5. CHARGING/RECHARGING THE BATTERY PACK Lead-acid batteries require maintenance to maintain a full charge and to ensure good battery life. All lead-acid batteries suffer from self-discharge over time and more rapidly when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore, these types of batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the Battery Pack is not in use Vector recommends that the battery is recharged at least every 60 days.

WARNINGS: The compressor is capable of inflating to 260 pounds per square inch (PSI) pressure (approximately 18 kg/cm). To avoid overinflation, carefully follow instructions on articles to be inflated.
