Recharging the XPower Powerpack Battery
28
Recharging with the DC Charging Cable
Using the DC Charging Cable, the XPower Powerpack can
be recharged while you drive your vehicle.
To recharge the XPower Powerpack while you drive using
the DC Charging Cable:
1. While the vehicle engine is running, plug one end of the
DC Charging Cable into the DC Power Socket of the
XPower Powerpack.
2. Plug the opposite end of the DC Charging Cable into the
vehicle’s lighter socket or 12 volt accessory outlet.
3. Once the XPower Powerpack is fully charged or if your
vehicle’s engine is not running, disconnect the DC
Charging Cable from both sockets.
Most of the XPower Powerpack’s capacity will be
restored in four hours while the vehicle engine is
running.
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.
CAUTION
Do not use this recharging method if your vehicle has
abnormally high voltage electrical systems that operate
above 15 volts DC.
CAUTION
Do not operate AC or DC appliances while the XPower
Powerpack is being recharged with the DC Charging
Cable from your vehicle.
Note:
The Recharge indicator will not illuminate when the
XPower Powerpack is recharged through the DC Charging Cable.
