Recharging the XPower Powerpack Battery

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.

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

5.While the XPower Powerpack is recharging, the Battery Status LED is red. If the XPower Powerpack is completely discharged, a typical recharge may take up to 24 hours. When fully charged, the Battery Status LED changes to green and the XPower Powerpack is ready to use.

Important: The 24-hour charging time for the XPower Powerpack assumes that there is 120 V 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 is still red, continue to charge the unit for another 12 hours. The XPower Powerpack will be ready for use even if the Battery Status LED remains red.

Once the XPower Powerpack is fully charged, the charging voltage and current automatically reduces to a maintenance level and the XPower Powerpack may be left permanently connected to the AC charger. If your utility power is interrupted, the charging process automatically restarts when power returns.
