Maintenance
Chapter 4 provides information on maintaining your internal
battery, recharging options for the internal battery, and
replacing user-replaceable parts.
Routine maintenance is required to keep your XPower
Powerpack operating properly. Occasionally clean the
exterior of the unit with a damp cloth to remove the
accumulated dust and dirt.
Battery Maintenance
All rechargeable batteries gradually discharge when left
standing and need to be recharged periodically to maintain
maximum battery capacity. The AC Charger supplied with
the XPower Powerpack is designed to regulate the charging
process, ensuring that the battery is always fully charged but
never overcharged. To ensure safe recharging and maximum
battery life, recharge the XPower Powerpack only with the
supplied chargers or approved battery chargers.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Disconnect all sources of AC power and DC power before
performing any type of maintenance.
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. Damage to the battery caused by neglect is not
covered by the product warranty.
