xPower600 Owners Manual
Disconnect the DC Charging Cable at both ends once xPower600 is
fully charged or when your vehicles motor is not running. Do not leave
xPower600 permanently connected to the vehicles lighter socket or 12
Volt accessory outlet.
CAUTION:
While xPower600 is being recharged with the DC Charging
Cable from your vehicle, do not operate AC products over 120 Watts
from its AC Outlets.
8.4 Recharging with a Generators 12 Volt DC
Power Outlet
Recharging xPower600 from a generator using the AC Charger is
possible, but could require extended generator running time before
xPower600 is fully charged. Since many generators have an auxiliary
regulated 12 Volt DC output designed for charging 12 Volt batteries,
using this power source will result in a shorter recharge time. If the
generator has a cigarette lighter style socket for its 12 Volt output, follow
the connection instructions in Section 8.3.
Most of xPower600s capacity will be restored in about 4 to 6 hours
when using a generators regulated 12 Volt DC output. Level of charge
can be verified by checking the Battery Level Indicator 15 minutes after
disconnecting the charging source.
CAUTION:
The generator output must be intended for battery charging.
An unregulated output or one that exceeds 15 Volts DC can damage the
battery.
8.5 Recharging with a Solar Panel
A 12 Volt solar panel rated to produce a maximum of 12 Amps can be
used to charge xPower600 via the DC Power Socket. Once the solar
panels DC plug is inserted into the DC Power Socket and the solar
panel is placed in the sun, xPower600 will charge automatically just as
with the AC Charger. With direct sunlight, a typical 3 Amp solar panel
will charge xPower600 in about 16 hours. If the solar panel does not
have a regulated output, disconnect it immediately after xPower600 is
charged.
CAUTION:
A solar panel with an unregulated output left connected after
charging is complete, or one with an output that exceeds 15 Volts DC,
can damage the battery.
