Recharging the XPower Powerpack 600HD Battery

Most of the capacity will be recharged in a few hours.

Note: Battery Charge (%) indicator is only accurate when the XPower Powerpack has been disconnected from all appliances and all charging sources for 15 minutes.

Recharging From a Solar Panel

Small, unregulated 12 V solar panels rated to produce a maximum of 2.5 A (or 30 W) can be used to charge the XPower Powerpack through the AC charger input socket.

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.

To locate this part, search on the Internet for 5.5 mm OD ×

2.5mm ID plug for AC adaptor barrel-type coaxial plug for use with Universal AC Adaptors, or contact a consumer electronics parts store with this description.

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.
