Whenever I hear of a battery giving off this type of feedback flashing from FL(fully charged) to 84(percent of charge) it tells me that the battery has lost its maximum capacity. The jumper box is alternating this as it attempts to charge and the battery says its fully charged but as the charging voltage is turned off it drops to the 84 you see as it can no longer hold a full 100% charge. The charger then kicks back on thinking it can charge back to 100.

You should replace it at this time and I recommend a NOCO Boost X Jump Starter # NOC48VR. This uses a more powerful lithium battery versus the lead acid type battery in your Peak jump box. The box is also much smaller and lighter making it easier to store and carry with you.
