Replacing the Internal Battery

Obtaining a Replacement Battery

When the battery reaches the end of its service life, you may purchase a replacement through an industrial battery supplier. The supplier should specialize in deep-cycle batteries. The recommended replacement batteries are standard sizes used for a variety of applications (not just the Powerpack), so you may rest assured that the battery will continue to be widely available many years into the future.

The factory-installed 20 amp-hour battery in your Powerpack is not available in North America. The recommended replacement batteries have smaller amp-hour capacities. Using smaller capacity batteries will not affect the Powerpack’s output power, but will result in slightly shorter runtimes for AC and DC products.

Refer to [the table below] for a list of batteries approved for use with the XPower Powerpack:
