Connecting to an External Battery
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.
To connect the XPower Powerpack to an external battery using the jump-start cables:
1.Connect the cables to the jump-start cable port on the left side of the XPower Powerpack.
2.Connect the red positive (+) clip of the cables to the red positive (+) terminal of the external battery.
3.Connect the black negative (–) clip of the cables to the black negative (–) terminal of the external battery.
WARNING: Sparking and explosion
Do not remove the cables from the jump-start cable port when the positive and negative clamps are connected to the terminals of the external battery.
