never overcharged. To ensure safe recharging and maximum battery life,
charge only with Xantrex supplied or approved products.

CAUTION: Risk of damage to battery
Due to inherent self-discharge, lead acid batteries must be charged at least every
3 months, especially in a warm environment. Leaving a battery in a discharged
state, or not recharging every 3 months, risks permanent damage.
CAUTION: Risk of damage to battery
Do not attempt to recharge XPower 1500’s battery if it is frozen. A frozen battery
should be gradually warmed to 32°F (0°C) before charging.
