Recharging the XPower Powerpack Battery

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 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 DC

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 27.

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

: The Battery Level LEDs are only accurate when the

XPower Powerpack has been disconnected from all appliances

and all charging sources for 15 minutes.
