CAUTION

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, may result in permanent battery damage and poor jump-start performance.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to recharge the XPower Powerpack battery if it is frozen. Gradually warm the frozen battery to 32 °F (0 °C) before recharging.
