Using XPower Powerpack 600HD for the First Time

Important: Prior to operating your AC appliance or 12 V DC appliance, ensure that the battery of the XPower Powerpack is fully charged. If the battery has been fully discharged, recharging with the AC Charger may take up to 35 hours.

Recharging with the AC Charger

Note: The Battery Charge (%) reading on the digital display is only accurate when the XPower Powerpack has been disconnected from all appliances and all charging sources for 15 minutes.

Recharging with the AC charger is a true “plug-in-and- forget” charging method. We recommend leaving the AC charger connected when the XPower Powerpack is not in use.

To recharge with the AC Charger:

1.Disconnect any 12 V DC appliances and turn the light 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 storage compartment of the unit.

The green Charging Status light changes from flashing to steady when charging is complete (about 35 hours if the battery is completely discharged).

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, continue to charge the unit for another 15 hours.
