Operation

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, continue to charge the unit for another 15 hours.

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 ON/OFF switch is located beneath the light. 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).
