Recharging the XPower Powerpack 600HD Battery

You will need to purchase a standard 5.5 mm OD × 2.5 mm ID (0.217" × 0.10") coaxial DC (barrel type centre positive) connector to mate with the AC charger input socket. These connectors are available at consumer electronics stores.

To wire the coaxial DC connector:

1.Connect the solar panel’s red positive (+) wire to the coaxial plug’s inner or centre contact.

2.Connect the solar panel’s black negative (–) wire to the plug’s outer contact. See Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1Typical DC Coaxial Connector Connection

Once the connector is inserted into the AC charger input socket and the solar panel is placed in the sun, the XPower Powerpack charges automatically just as with the AC charger. See “Recharging with the AC Charger” on page 27.

It takes about ten hours in direct sunlight to recharge the XPower Powerpack from a 2.5 A solar panel.
