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 V 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 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.
WARNING: Fire and explosion hazard
Do not use this recharging method if your vehicle has abnormally
high voltage electrical systems that operate above 15 V DC. This
may lead to accumulations of hydrogen, causing exposure to fire
and explosion hazard.
CAUTION
Do not operate AC or DC appliances while the XPower Powerpack
is being recharged with the DC charging cable from your vehicle.
