Recharging the XPower Powerpack Battery
Recharging with the DC Charging Cable
Using the DC Charging Cable, the XPower Powerpack can be recharged while you drive your vehicle.
Important: Although the charge regulation circuitry in the XPower Powerpack does not operate with this charging method, most vehicle voltage regulators will ensure that the XPower Powerpack is not overcharged.
CAUTION
Do not use this recharging method if your vehicle has abnormally high voltage electrical systems that operate above 15 volts DC.
CAUTION
Do not operate AC or DC appliances while the XPower
Powerpack is being recharged with the DC Charging
Cable from your vehicle.
To recharge the XPower Powerpack while you drive using the DC Charging Cable:
1.While the vehicle engine is running, plug one end of the DC Charging Cable into the DC Power Socket of the XPower Powerpack.
2.Plug the opposite end of the DC Charging Cable into the vehicle’s lighter socket or 12 volt accessory outlet.
3.Once the XPower Powerpack is fully charged or if your vehicle’s engine is not running, disconnect the DC Charging Cable from both sockets.
Most of the XPower Powerpack’s capacity will be restored in four hours while the vehicle engine is running.
Note: The Recharge indicator will not illuminate when the XPower Powerpack is recharged through the DC Charging Cable.
