Connecting to an External Battery
You can extend battery operating times by connecting the
XPower Powerpack to a larger external battery.
For example, an external 60 Ah battery gives approximately
five times the operating time of the XPower Powerpack
internal 12 Ah battery.
To connect the XPower Powerpack to an external battery
using the boosting cables:
1. Ensure that the boosting power switch is OFF.
2. Connect the red positive (+) clamp of the cables to the
red positive (+) terminal of the external battery.
Note: Leave the thumb latch in the open position for storing to
relieve pressure on the internal mechanism.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Never allow boosting cables’ red and black clamps to touch each
other or another common metal conductor. This could cause
damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Boosting cable clamps must be connected positive to positive (red
clamp to battery “+”) and negative to negative (black clamp to
battery “–”). A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative)
may cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion
hazard.
WARNING: Acid spills
Use a sealed, non-spillable battery for indoor use. Common auto
and marine batteries are not suitable for indoor use unless their
fumes are vented outdoors. Common auto and marine batteries
contain acid, which is hazardous if spilled. Wear eye protection and
protective clothing when connecting the XPower Powerpack to an
external battery.
