Power Draw

The AM/FM radio on the back panel is powered by the internal battery in the XPower Powerpack.

When turned on, the radio draws 30 mA, allowing you to use the radio for more than one month when the XPower Powerpack is fully charged.

Listening to the AM Band

Due to signal interference, you cannot listen to the AM band while using the XPower Powerpack to operate an AC appliance.

Connecting to an External Battery

You can extend battery operating times by connecting the XPower Powerpack to a larger external battery using the jump-start cables.

For example, an external 60 Ah battery gives approximately two times the operating time of the XPower Powerpack internal 28 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. Always disconnect the jump-start cables from the unit after use and clip the plastic guard over the jump-start cable port.
