JUMP START SYSTEM - Page 3 Questions & Answers
Where do you charge the box
There's usually a mains power lead attached to the unit that will enable you to plug it into a socket for recharging. Some of these may have been built with removeable mains leads though and maybe someone's removed it?

Black and decker bought them out, so should be able to obtain it from them or one of their outlets.
How do you use the vector start it pro to charge a battery
The overall verdict is this is a poor quality jump starter which has an unreliable charger and a battery that will die if you don't look after it. However, I found one fair report on Amazon amongst many bad ones:
"The compressor on this unit, like so many others this small, is really only made for pumping up toys or bicycle tires. So don't buy this unit for that purpose. Go to a gas station with quarters and use their air vender.
If, like me, you bought a used unit, you will need to get both the manual and the charger. Do a search on servicenet dewalt to find the owners manual. The manual is a download pdf. Charger model number is 514005-42.
Hope this helps. It's really a neat little device to have around. I especially like the built-in LED flashlight.
You really NEED to read the manual all the way through. The special sealed type battery requires charging at least every 60 days or it WILL go bad quickly."

Because I'm an engineer I know I could easily replace the 12v lead-acid battery charger, open the box and replace the battery with another 12v say 200 Amp cranking (short circuit effectively) battery but I would tend to spend a bit more on a gel battery of similar spec 'cos it basically is the only sort that should be used for deep cycle discharge with such a small volume battery. Good luck.
DPS109SEL Power cord for unit
I am not familiar with that specific unit, but there are generally 2 kinds of power cord - an external transformer (or wall wart) with a plug that mates with a jack. If this is the case, there are several universal converters that provide multiple plugs. Look near the jack and there should be an indication of the input volts and amps needed - confirm polarity. The other type is a simple 110V line and the device has its own internal transformer. If that is the case, there is often a keyed jack for the power line to plug into - order a new line or devise a custom connector that you can insert before plugging in, make sure it fits snuggly and adequately seperates the individual wires.
I need a power charger for a veco 12 pod 450 amp 12 volt jump start system .
The smart thing to do is, after using it for a jump start, leave it connected for 5 minutes and it is charged again... otherwise a normal 12 V charger will do on the clamps that go to the box... I use a 12V Stanley 25 amps when needed. But most of the time I keep it connected for 5 minutes and do not worry about it.
VEC012POB Manual
Vector sold to Black & Decker who then sold to Bacchus. The only manual I find with the same number you show is NOT yellow and has no USB connection. It is charged by a 110 volt wall wart charger that plugs into a receptacle on the unit, or a 12 volt cigar lighter cable that plugs into the 12 volt port on the unit. Here's a brochure for the model number you provoided:
Recharging
It will not help the life of the battery. These units use deep cycle batteries in them and they should not be discharged past 50% to ensure prolonged life.

If you know your battery number and can replace it yourself, you may be able to find one on eBay. If not, you can go to the companys website for assistance:
