Recharging the XPower Powerpack Battery

Recharging with the AC Charger

Recharging with the AC Charger is a true “plug-in-and- forget” charging method.

To recharge with the AC Charger:

1.Disconnect any 12 volt DC appliances.

2.Turn the AC Outlet On/Off switch to off, and turn the fluorescent light switch off.

3.Plug the AC Charger into a standard AC wall outlet.

4.Insert the AC Charger cable end into the Charger Input Socket.

5.While the XPower Powerpack is recharging, the Recharge indicator is amber. If the battery is completely discharged, a typical recharge may take up to 40 hours. When fully charged, the Recharge indicator changes to green and the XPower Powerpack is ready to use.

Important: The 40 hour charging time for the XPower Powerpack assumes that there is 120 volts at the AC wall outlet. If the voltage is less than 120 volts AC, it may take more than 40 hours to fully recharge the XPower Powerpack. If, after 40 hours of charging, the Recharge indicator is still amber and not green, continue to charge the unit for another 15 hours. The battery will be fully charged even if the Recharge indicator is still amber.

Once the battery is fully charged, the charging voltage and current automatically reduces to a low maintenance level and the XPower Powerpack may be left permanently connected to the AC Charger. If your utility power is interrupted, the charging process automatically restarts when power returns.

CAUTION

Do not operate AC or DC appliances while the XPower Powerpack is being recharged with the AC Charger. The AC Charger may fail if AC appliances or 12 volt DC appliances are operated while the AC Charger is connected.
