xPower600 Owners Manual
9.0 Connecting to an External Battery
9.1 Extended Operating Time
Much longer battery operating time is possible when connecting
xPower600 to a larger external battery. For example, an external 60
Amp-Hour battery will provide approximately 150% more operating time
then xPower600s internal battery alone.
WARNING:
Explosion hazard.
Use a sealed, non-spillable battery for
indoor use. Common auto and marine batteries are not suitable for
indoor use unless their fumes are vented outdoors.
WARNING:
Battery acid is corrosive. Wear eye protection and protective
clothing when working with batteries.
9.2 Connecting an External Battery
Follow these steps using standard jump-start cables available at most
auto parts stores:
WARNING:
Connect only in the following order and make sure the polarity
is correct. The batterys positive terminal is identified as being larger in
diameter than the negative terminal. In most vehicles it has a red wire
connected to it. Do not proceed until you are sure you have identified the
positive terminal.
1. Remove the Terminal Covers (rotate counter clockwise) and place
them in xPower600s Accessory Storage Compartment.
2. Connect the red positive (+) clamp on one end of the jump-start
cables to the positive terminal of the external battery.
3. Using the clamps on the other end of the jump-start cables, connect
the red positive (+) clamp to xPower600s positive (+) DC Terminal
(red).
4. Connect the black negative (-) clamp of the jump-start cables to
the negative terminal of the external battery.
5. Take the other end of the jump-start cable and connect the black
negative (-) clamp to xPower600s negative DC Terminal (black).
6. Disconnect the external battery in reverse order of steps 2-5.
