Recharging the XPower Powerpack
Battery
To check the battery’s charge level, press the Battery Status
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 volt 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.
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 Level indicators are only accurate when the
XPower Powerpack has been disconnected from all
appliances and all charging sources for fifteen minutes.
