Recharging the XPower Powerpack Battery

To recharge with the AC Charger:

1.Disconnect any 12 V DC appliance and turn the light switch to OFF.

2.Turn the AC Outlet ON/OFF switch to OFF.

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

4.Insert the AC Charger cable end into the Charger Input Socket located in the charger storage compartment.

5.While the XPower Powerpack is recharging, the green Charging Status light is flashing. If the battery is completely discharged, a typical recharge may take up to 35 hours. When fully charged, the green Charging Status light changes to steady and the XPower Powerpack is ready to use.

Important: The 35-hour charging time for the XPower Powerpack assumes that there is 120 V at the AC wall outlet. If the voltage is less than 120 V AC, it may take more than 35 hours to fully recharge the XPower Powerpack. If, after 35 hours of charging, the green Charging Status light is still flashing and not steady, continue to charge the unit for another 15 hours.

Once the battery is fully charged, the charging voltage and current automatically reduces to a 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.

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.
