Recharging the XPower Powerpack Battery
To check the battery’s charge level, press the Display
Function button.
You can recharge the battery using:
•
the fully automatic “plug-in-and-forget” AC Charger.
• the DC Charging Cable to recharge from your vehicle as
you drive.
• a generator equipped with a regulated 12 V battery
charging outlet.
• a solar panel.
CAUTION
Due to inherent self-discharge, lead acid batteries
must be charged at least every 3 months, especially
in a warm environment. Leaving a battery in a
discharged state, or not recharging every 3 months,
may result in permanent battery damage and poor
jump-start performance.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to recharge the XPower Powerpack
battery if it is frozen. Gradually warm the frozen
battery to 32 °F (0 °C) before recharging.
Note : Battery Charge (%) status is only accurate when
the XPower Powerpack has been disconnected from all
appliances and all charging sources for fifteen minutes.
