Using XPower Powerpack for the First Time
Recharging with the AC Charger
Recharging with the AC charger is a true “plug-in-and-
forget” charging method. We recommend leaving the AC
charger connected when the XPower Powerpack is not in use.
To recharge with the AC charger:
1. Disconnect any 12 V DC appliances from the DC power
outlets.
2. Disconnect any AC products from the XPower
Powerpack and turn the AC Power
ON
/
OFF
switch to
OFF
.
3. Insert the AC charger cable end into the AC charger input
socket located under the red jump-starting clamp (see
figure on page 6).
4. Plug the AC charger into a standard AC wall outlet.
The Battery Status LED changes from red to green when
charging is complete (about 24 hours if the battery is
completely discharged).
Important:
Prior to operating your AC appliance or 12 V DC
appliance, ensure that the battery of the XPower Powerpack is
fully charged. If the battery has been fully discharged, recharging
with the AC charger may take up to 24 hours.
Note
:
The XPower Powerpack battery level LEDs are only
accurate when the XPower Powerpack has been disconnected
from all appliances and all charging sources for fifteen minutes.
CAUTION
Do not operate AC or DC appliances with the XPower Powerpack
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.
