Using XPower Powerpack for the First Time
Recharging with the AC Charger
Recharging with the AC Charger is a true “plug-in-and-
forget” charging method. We recommend leaving the AC
Charger connected when the XPower Powerpack is not in
use.
To recharge with the AC Charger:
1. Disconnect any 12 V DC appliances and turn the light
OFF.
2. Turn the AC Power On/Off Switch to OFF.
3. Plug the AC Charger into a standard AC wall outlet.
4. Insert the AC Charger cable end into the AC Charger
Input Socket located under the red boosting clamp (see
figure on page 6).
The Battery Status LED changes from red to green when
charging is complete (about 24 hours if the battery is
completely discharged).
Important: Prior to operating your AC appliance or 12 V DC
appliance, ensure that the battery of the XPower Powerpack is
fully charged. If the battery has been fully discharged, recharging
with the AC Charger may take up to 24 hours.
Note
: The XPower Powerpack battery level LEDs are only
accurate when the XPower Powerpack has been disconnected
from all appliances and all charging sources for fifteen minutes.
Important: The 24-hour charging time for the XPower
Powerpack assumes that there is 120 V AC 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 remains red, continue to
charge the unit for another 12 hours. The unit will be ready for use
even if the Battery Status LED remains red.
