IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use with: Sherpa 100AC and Yeti Power Stations
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Charge only one lithium-ion rechargeable battery at a time. Other types of battery may burst, causing personal injury or damage.
Do not use charger outdoors or expose to wet or damp conditions.
Water entering charger will increase the risk of electric shock.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric chock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Do no abuse cord or charger. Damage to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric shock hazard. If cord or charger is damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized serviceman.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges or moving parts or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury, and damage to the cord, which could result in electric shock.
Keep cord from heat to prevent damage to housing or internal parts. Improper use may result in damage to your vehicle, the cable, and the unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the unit charge when the vehicle is off and drain my battery?
No the car charger has built in low voltage protection to prevent charging
when the vehicle is off and prevent draining your car battery.
What do I do if the indicator turns red?
Change from 10A to 5A setting. Not all vehicles are created equal.
Unfortunately some can not maintain 10A output and you will need to switch to
the 5A setting. Most vehicles have multiple 12V outlets, we would recommend
attempting all to see if they function on the 10A setting.
My cable is not functioning and indicator stays red on all 12V sockets. How
do I change the fuse?
There is a 15A Tube fuse in the tip of the male 12V cigarette. Unscrew the tip
( be careful you do not loose any parts) remove the tube fuse to inspect if it
is blown. Replace the tube fuse. These are very common fuses found at most
auto locations.
