Recharging the XPower Powerpack Battery
975-0057-01-01 4-3
To recharge with the AC Charger:
1. Disconnect any 12 V DC appliance and turn the light
switch to Off.
2. Turn the AC Outlet 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 Charger Input
Socket located in the charger storage compartment.
5. While the XPower Powerpack is recharging, the green
Charging Status light is flashing. If the battery is
completely discharged, a typical recharge may take up to
35 hours. When fully charged, the green Charging
Status light changes to steady and the XPower
Powerpack is ready to use.
Once the battery 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 35-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 35 hours to fully recharge the XPower Powerpack. If,
after 35 hours of charging, the green Charging Status light
is still flashing and not steady, continue to charge the unit
for another 15 hours.
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.
