Connecting to an External Battery

You can extend battery operating times by connecting the XPower Powerpack to a larger external battery.

For example, an external 60 amp-hour battery gives approximately three and one-half times the operating time of the XPower Powerpack internal 20 amp-hour battery.

WARNING: Acid spills

Use a sealed, non-spillable battery for indoor use. Common auto and marine batteries are not suitable for indoor use unless their fumes are vented outdoors. Common auto and marine batteries contain acid, which is hazardous if spilled. Wear eye protection and protective clothing when connecting the XPower Powerpack to an external battery.

To connect the XPower Powerpack to an external battery using the jump-start cables:

1.Connect the jump-start cables to the Jumper Cable Port on the left side of the XPower Powerpack.

2.Connect the red positive (+) clip of the jump-start cables to the red positive (+) terminal of the external battery.

3.Connect the black negative (–) clip of the jump-start cables to the black negative (–) terminal of the external battery.
