Safety

10.If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your eyes, immediately flood them with running cold water for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.

11.Keep a supply of baking soda on hand in the area of the batteries. Baking soda neutralizes lead-acid battery electrolyte.

Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances

CAUTION

The output of the inverter is non-sinusoidal.

Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage charging output.

Some chargers for rechargeable batteries can be damaged if connected to the XPower Powerpack.

Do not use the following with the XPower Powerpack:

•Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.

•Some chargers for battery packs used in hand power tools. These chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.

Note: If you are unsure about using your rechargeable appliance with the XPower Powerpack, contact the equipment manufacturer to determine the rechargeable appliance’s compatibility with the modified sine wave (non-sinusoidal) AC waveform.
