Battery Self-discharge and Shelf Life

All rechargeable batteries gradually discharge when left standing. Periodic charging is necessary to maintain maximum battery capacity. The AC Charger supplied with XPower 1500 is designed to regulate the charging process, ensuring the battery pack is always fully charged, but never overcharged. To ensure safe recharging and maximum battery life, charge only with Xantrex supplied or approved products.

CAUTION: Risk of damage to battery

Due to inherent self-discharge, lead acid batteries must be charged at least every 3 months, especially in a warm environment. Leaving a battery in a discharged state, or not recharging every 3 months, risks permanent damage.

CAUTION: Risk of damage to battery

Do not attempt to recharge XPower 1500’s battery if it is frozen. A frozen battery should be gradually warmed to 32°F (0°C) before charging.
