Recharging with the AC Charger
Recharging with the AC charger is a true “plug-in-and-
forget” charging method.
To recharge with the AC charger:
1. Disconnect any 12 V DC appliance and turn the light
switch to OFF .
2. Turn the AC outlet ON / OFF switch to OFF .
3. Plug the AC charger into a standard AC wall outlet.
4. Insert the AC charger cable end into the charger input
socket located on the left side of the XPower Powerpack.
5. While the XPower Powerpack is recharging, the green
Charging Status light is flashing. If the battery is
completely discharged, a typical recharge may take up to
35 hours. When fully charged, the green Charging
Status light changes to steady and the XPower
Powerpack is ready to use.
Once the battery is fully charged, the charging voltage and
current automatically reduces to a maintenance level and the
XPower Powerpack may be left permanently connected to the
AC charger. If your utility power is interrupted, the charging
process automatically restarts when power returns.
CAUTION
Do not operate AC or DC appliances while the XPower Powerpack
is being recharged with the AC charger.
The AC charger may be permanently damaged if AC appliances or
12 V DC appliances are operated while the AC charger is
connected.
Important: The 35-hour charging time for the XPower
Powerpack assumes that there is 120 V at the AC wall outlet. If
the voltage is less than 120 V AC, it may take more than 35 hours
to fully recharge the XPower Powerpack. If, after 35 hours of
charging, the green Charging Status light is still flashing and not
steady, continue to charge the unit for another 15 hours.
