Recharging with a Generator’s Regulated 12 V DC
Outlet
Refer to the Owner’s Guide accompanying your generator for
detailed instructions on connecting the generator to a unit like
the XPower Powerpack.
You can recharge the battery of the XPower Powerpack using
a generator in several ways:
•
Using the AC Charger to recharge the XPower
Powerpack from a generator is possible, but would
require extended generator running time.
•
Using a generator which has an auxiliary regulated 12 V
DC output designed for charging 12 V batteries. Most
generators are equipped with them. Use this power
source for faster charging.
•
Using a generator with a regulated 12 V DC lighter
socket. Follow the connection instructions in
“Recharging with the DC Charging Cable” on page 4–3.
Most of the XPower Powerpack’s battery capacity will be
recharged in a few hours.
WARNING: Fire and explosion hazard
The generator output must be intended for battery charging and
have an output of 15 V or less. An unregulated output or one that
exceeds 15 V DC can damage the battery.
This may lead to accumulations of hydrogen, causing exposure to
fire and explosion hazard.
Note
:
Battery Charge (%)
indicator is only accurate when the
XPower Powerpack has been disconnected from all appliances
and all charging sources for fifteen minutes.
