Be sure to recharge the XPower Powerpack immediately after
purchase. The easiest way to recharge the XPower
Powerpack is to use the AC Charger. See “Recharging with
the AC Charger” on page 13.
If you are interested in other options for recharging, see
“Recharging the XPower Powerpack Battery” on page 26.
If you keep the XPower Powerpack in storage, the battery
will discharge over time. Remember to recharge the battery
every three months to keep the XPower Powerpack
operational.
Recharging with the AC Charger
Recharging with the AC Charger is a true “plug-in-and-
forget” charging method. Xantrex recommends leaving the
AC Charger connected when the XPower Powerpack is
stored.
To recharge with the AC Charger:
1. Disconnect any 12 volt DC appliances.
2. Turn the AC Outlet On/Off switch to Off, and turn the
fluorescent light off.
Important: Prior to operating your AC appliance or
12 volt DC appliance, ensure that the battery of the
XPower Powerpack is fully charged. If the battery has
been fully discharged, recharging with the AC Charger
may take up to 40 hours.
Note: The Battery Level indicators are only accurate when
the XPower Powerpack has been disconnected from all
appliances and all charging sources for fifteen minutes.
