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 and turn the light
off.
2. Turn the AC Outlet
ON
/
OFF
switch to
OFF
.
3. Plug the AC Charger into a standard AC wall outlet.
4. Insert the AC Charger cable end into the Charger Input
Socket located in the storage compartment of the unit.
The green Charging Status light changes from flashing to
steady when charging is complete (about 35 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 35 hours.
Note
:
The Battery Charge (%) reading on the digital display is
only accurate when the XPower Powerpack has been
disconnected from all appliances and all charging sources for
fifteen minutes.
Important: The 35-hour charging time for the XPower
Powerpack assumes that there is 120 V at the AC wall outlet. If
the voltage is less than 120 V AC, it may take more than 35 hours
to fully recharge the XPower Powerpack. If, after 35 hours of
charging, the green Charging Status light is still flashing,
continue to charge the unit for another 15 hours.
