Using XPower Powerpack for the First Time

Important: Prior to operating your AC appliance or 12 V DC appliance, ensure that the battery of the XPower Powerpack is fully charged. If the battery has been fully discharged, recharging with the AC charger may take up to 24 hours.

Recharging with the AC Charger

Note: The XPower Powerpack battery level LEDs are only accurate when the XPower Powerpack has been disconnected from all appliances and all charging sources for fifteen minutes.

Recharging with the AC charger is a true “plug-in-and- forget” charging method. We recommend leaving the AC charger connected when the XPower Powerpack is not in use.

CAUTION

Do not operate AC or DC appliances with the XPower Powerpack while the XPower Powerpack is being recharged with the AC charger.

The AC charger may be permanently damaged if AC appliances or 12 V DC appliances are operated while the AC charger is connected.

To recharge with the AC charger:

1.Disconnect any 12 V DC appliances from the DC power outlets.

2.Disconnect any AC products from the XPower Powerpack and turn the AC Power ON/OFF switch to OFF.

3.Insert the AC charger cable end into the AC charger input socket located under the red jump-starting clamp (see figure on page 6).

4.Plug the AC charger into a standard AC wall outlet.

The Battery Status LED changes from red to green when charging is complete (about 24 hours if the battery is completely discharged).
