Recharging from your Vehicle

9.After the AC Charger is turned off or disconnected from an AC outlet, the Recharge Indicator may continue to illuminate for a brief period. This is normal and occurs because of the residual electrical energy that is stored in the AC Charger’s circuitry.

Note: Battery Level Indicator readings will not be accurate until the batteries have “rested” for 15 minutes after charging.

Using the DC Charging Cable, XPower 1500 can be recharged as you drive. Simply plug either end of the DC Charging Cable into XPower 1500’s DC Power Socket, and the other end into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket or 12-volt accessory outlet. With the motor running, the battery pack will be fully charged in 6 to 8 hours.

When using the DC Charging Cable there is no automatic charge regulation; however, most vehicle voltage regulators will ensure XPower 1500 is not overcharged. This charging method must not be used with vehicles having abnormally high voltage systems that operate above 15 volts DC.

Disconnect the DC Charging Cable at both ends once XPower 1500 is fully charged or when your vehicle’s motor is not running. Do not leave XPower 1500 permanently connected to the vehicle’s lighter socket or 12- volt accessory outlet.

CAUTION: Equipment damage

While XPower 1500 is being recharged with the DC Charging Cable from your vehicle, do not operate AC products over 120 watts from its AC outlets.
