The battery you place inside the Smart Battery Box can be charged:

1. Through the terminals.
2. Through the 12VDC Port/ Cigarette Adapter. 
   1. Charging must be below 10amps so the circuit breaker does not trip.
3. Remove your battery and attach your charger directly.

The Smart Battery Box itself does not hold a charge, it is only a container for your battery. You cannot charge your battery through the smart battery box USB port. 

Install, Charger, and Product Overview

We recommend using the 12V Smart Battery Charger with Pulse Repair Technology to recharge your battery. Check out our product use videos for the Smart Battery Box on our Youtube Channel.
