Recharging with the AC Charger

Important: The 24-hour charging time for the XPower Powerpack assumes that there is 120 V AC at the AC wall outlet. If the voltage is less than 120 V AC, it may take more than 24 hours to fully recharge the XPower Powerpack. If, after 24 hours of charging, the Battery Status LED remains red, continue to charge the unit for another 12 hours. The unit will be ready for use even if the Battery Status LED remains red.

Important: If you keep the XPower Powerpack in storage, the battery will self-discharge over time. Remember to recharge the battery every three months to keep the XPower Powerpack operational.

Note: Once fully charged, the charging current automatically reduces to a maintenance charge mode, and the XPower Powerpack may be left permanently connected to the AC charger.
