Obtaining a Battery Replacement
The internal battery pack in your XPower 1500 is either version A or
version B as described below:
(A) Three separate 17 amp-hour batteries, each with a positive and
negative terminal visible, connected in parallel with cables.
or
(B) A single 51 amp-hour battery pack with only one positive and one
negative terminal showing. There are different options for battery
replacement depending on which battery pack version is in your XPower
1500.
If your XPower 1500 has version A, replace the three existing batteries
with three new, sealed, lead acid, AGM type batteries. In addition to the
factory installed 17 amp-hour batteries, you may also use other approved
batteries as listed below. These batteries are available in most areas from
stores that specialize in higher amperage, deep cycle batteries.
WARNING: Personal injury
To avoid potentially serious injury, follow these precautions when working with
batteries:
• Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to
your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
• Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your
eyes while working near batteries.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters your eye. immediately flood it with running cold water
for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention.
• Keep a supply of baking soda on hand in the area of the batteries. Baking soda
neutralizes lead-acid battery electrolyte.
• NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of the engine or batteries.
• Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery. It
might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts that may cause
an explosion.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
when working with a lead-acid battery. When a short circuit if created, a lead-
acid battery can produces a current high enough to weld a ring or the like to
metal, causing a severe burn.
