Connecting to an External Battery

6.Remove nozzle adaptor from valve connector and store in storage compartment.

Note: Leave the thumb latch in the open position for storing to relieve pressure on the internal mechanism.

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 Ah battery gives approximately five times the operating time of the XPower Powerpack internal 12 Ah battery.

WARNING: Fire hazard

Never allow jump-start cables’ red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal conductor. This could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.

WARNING: Fire hazard

Jump-start cable clamps must be connected positive to positive (red clamp to battery “+”) and negative to negative (black clamp to battery “–”). A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) may cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.

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.
