Connecting to an External Battery
You can extend battery operating times by connecting the
XPower Powerpack to a larger external battery.
For example, an external 60 Ah battery gives approximately
four times the operating time of the XPower Powerpack
internal 20 Ah battery.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Never allow jump-start cables’ red and black clips to
touch each other or another common metal conductor.
This could cause damage to the unit and/or create a
sparking/explosion hazard. Always disconnect the jump-
start cables from the unit after use and clip the plastic
guard over the jump-start cable port.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Jump-start cable clips must be connected positive to
positive (red clip to battery “+”) and negative to negative
(black clip to battery “”). A reverse polarity connection
(positive to negative) may cause damage to the unit and/
or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
WARNING: Acid spills
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.
Common auto and marine batteries contain acid, which is
hazardous if spilled. Wear eye protection and protective
clothing when connecting the XPower Powerpack to an
external battery.
