4 Maintenance

Chapter 4 provides information on maintaining your internal battery, recharging options for the internal battery, and replacing user-replaceable parts.

Routine maintenance is required to keep your XPower Powerpack operating properly. Occasionally clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth to remove the accumulated dust and dirt.

WARNING: Shock hazard

Disconnect all sources of AC power and DC power before performing any type of maintenance.

Battery Maintenance

All rechargeable batteries gradually discharge when left standing, and you need to recharge them periodically to maintain maximum battery capacity. The AC Charger supplied with the XPower Powerpack is designed to regulate the charging process, ensuring that the battery is always fully charged but never overcharged. To ensure safe recharging and maximum battery life, recharge the XPower Powerpack only with the supplied charger or approved battery chargers.
