VAGABOND II Queries

Just both a Vagabond II and have some queries regarding its use

1. The manual says I need to recharge after every use.

Do I need to recharge even if it had been fully charged and I've only shot around 10 test shots .

2. It Also says it is very important to connect the VII's Battery to the charger after Each use.

Isn't the Battery connected to the charger/inverter by default?

3. It says that VII system includes a Ground Fault Circuit interrupter that detects ground faults and shuts down the inverter preventing a shock Hazard .

If that is the case why does the unit have a Grounding input on the control panel.


Is there anything else I need to know to increase the efficiency or longevity of the Vagabond II
Any advice or suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Just keep the Vagabond plugged in to an outlet at all times that you're NOT using it.

Wouldn't that also reduce the life of the battery??

Nope, it actually says in the manual that when not in use, you should keep it plugged in to preserve the battery's life.

So assuming I was going away for a month, is it safe to leave it plugged in unattended??
Maybe I am just being paranoid but Ive heard of one going up in flames and thats the last thing anyone can expect.

That's a question you should ask PCB Customer Support. They'd give you a better answer than I can. But, I've had mine plugged in for the past week now with no problems.
