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
four times the operating time of the XPower Powerpack
internal 20 Ah battery.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Never allow jump-start 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. Always disconnect the jump-start cables from the unit
after use and clip the plastic guard over the jump-start cable
port.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Jump-start 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.
