Xantrex Technology Solar 400 manual Battery Life, Recycling

Maintenance

CAUTION

Due to inherent self-discharge, lead acid batteries must be charged at least every 3 months (once a month is recommended), especially in a warm environment. Leaving a battery in a discharged state, or not recharging regularly, may result in permanent battery damage.

Damage to the battery caused by neglect is not covered by the product warranty.

Battery Life

The high quality battery used in the Powerpack Solar 400 will serve as a reliable power source for years when properly maintained.

To maximize battery life, it is important to recharge the Powerpack Solar 400 battery after each use.

Important: Recharge the Powerpack Solar 400 fully at least every three months (once a month is recommended) if it is placed in storage or in a vehicle trunk. Store in a location that maintains a temperature range between 32 and 86 °F (0 and 30 °C).

CAUTION

Discharging the internal battery below 10.0 V will damage the battery and shorten its life.

Recycling

The Powerpack Solar 400 is designed to provide years of service. However, when the internal battery reaches the end of its service life, the Powerpack Solar 400 itself is no longer useful. The internal battery is not designed to be user replaceable.

Because the internal battery contains lead, which can be hazardous to the environment, the Powerpack Solar 400 should be recycled or safely disposed of at your local recycling depot.
