Xantrex Technology 300

Recharging with the AC Charger

Important: The 24-hour charging time for the XPower

Powerpack assumes that there is 120V AC at the AC wall outlet.

If the voltage is less than 120 V AC, it may take more than 24

hours to fully recharge the XPower Powerpack. If, after 24 hours

of charging, the Battery Status LED remains red, continue to

charge the unit for another 12 hours. The unit will be ready for use

even if the Battery Status LED remains red.

Important: If you keep the XPower Powerpack in storage, the

battery will self-discharge over time. Remember to recharge the

battery every three months to keep the XPower Powerpack

operational.

Note:Once fully charged, the charging current automatically

reduces to a maintenance charge mode, and the XPower

Powerpack may be left permanently connected to the AC charger.
