Recharging the XPower Powerpack 600HD Battery

Recharging with the AC Charger

Recharging with the AC charger is a true “plug-in-and- forget” charging method.

CAUTION

Do not operate AC or DC appliances 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 appliance and turn the light switch to OFF.

2.Turn the AC outlet ON/OFF switch to OFF.

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

4.Insert the AC charger cable end into the AC charger input socket located on the left side of the XPower Powerpack.

5.While the XPower Powerpack is recharging, the green Charging Status light is flashing. If the battery is completely discharged, a typical recharge may take up to 35 hours. When fully charged, the green Charging Status light changes to steady and the XPower Powerpack is ready to use.

Important: The 35-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 35 hours to fully recharge the XPower Powerpack. If, after 35 hours of charging, the green Charging Status light is still flashing and not steady, continue to charge the unit for another 15 hours.

Once the battery 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.
