Recharging the XPower Powerpack Battery

5. While the XPower Powerpack is recharging, the Battery
Status LED is red. If the XPower Powerpack is
completely discharged, a typical recharge may take up to
24 hours. When fully charged, the Battery Status LED
changes to green and the XPower Powerpack is ready to
use.
Once the XPower Powerpack is fully charged, the charging
voltage and current automatically reduces to a maintenance
level and the XPower Powerpack may be left permanently
connected to the AC Charger. If your utility power is
interrupted, the charging process automatically restarts when
power returns.
Recharging with the DC Charging Cable
Using the DC Charging Cable, the XPower Powerpack can
be recharged while you drive your vehicle.
Important: The 24-hour charging time for the XPower
Powerpack assumes that there is 120 V 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 is still red, continue to charge
the unit for another 12 hours. The XPower Powerpack will be
ready for use even if the Battery Status LED remains red.
Important: Although the charge regulation circuitry in the
XPower Powerpack does not operate with this charging method,
most vehicle voltage regulators will ensure that the XPower
Powerpack is not overcharged.
WARNING: Fire and explosion hazard
Do not use this recharging method if your vehicle has abnormally
high voltage electrical systems that operate above 15 V DC. This
may lead to accumulations of hydrogen, causing exposure to fire
and explosion hazard.
