Operation

Important: If you keep the XPower Powerpack in storage, the battery will 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.

Using the light

The XPower Powerpack has a built-in incandescent light which will operate for about 30 hours before the unit needs to be recharged.

The XPower Powerpack 400 Plus has a two-position OFF/ON switch (located beneath the light itself). The XPower Powerpack 400R has a three-position ON/OFF/Pulse switch. In the “Pulse” position, the light will flash on and off. The XPower Powerpack 400R also has a red “emergency” light cover that fits over the incandescent light for additional signalling capability.

The light can be adjusted up and down by pushing against the top or bottom of the rim around the lens.

Operating AC Appliances

Understanding AC Appliances

AC appliances are rated by how much electrical power (in watts) they consume. XPower Powerpack can power most appliances within its continuous power rating (320 W, 2.7 A).

Some appliances may be difficult or impossible to operate from the XPower Powerpack. They may have high surge requirements or should not be run from the XPower Powerpack. See “High Surge Appliances” on page 3–5 and “Trouble Appliances” on page 3–6.
