Xantrex Technology 400 Recharging with the DC Charging Cable, WARNING Fire and explosion hazard

Recharging the XPower Powerpack Battery

5.While the XPower Powerpack is recharging, the Battery Status LED is red. If the XPower Powerpack is completely discharged, a typical recharge may take up to 24 hours. When fully charged, the Battery Status LED changes to green and the XPower Powerpack is ready to use.

Important: The 24-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 24 hours to fully recharge the XPower Powerpack. If, after 24 hours of charging, the Battery Status LED is still red, continue to charge the unit for another 12 hours. The XPower Powerpack will be ready for use even if the Battery Status LED remains red.

Once the XPower Powerpack 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.

WARNING: Fire and explosion hazard

Do not use this recharging method if your vehicle has abnormally high voltage electrical systems that operate above 15 V DC. This may lead to accumulations of hydrogen, causing exposure to fire and explosion hazard.
