Maintenance
32 975-0218-01-01
Once the battery is fully charged, the charging voltage
and current automatically reduces to a maintenance level
and the XPower Powerpack may be left permanently
connected to the AC Charger. If your utility power is
interrupted, the charging process automatically restarts
when power returns.
Recharging with the DC Charging Cable
Using the DC Charging Cable, the XPower Powerpack can
be recharged while you drive your vehicle.
Important: The 40-hour charging time for the XPower
Powerpack assumes that there is 230 V at the AC wall outlet. If
the voltage is less than 230 V AC, it may take more than 40 hours
to fully recharge the XPower Powerpack. If, after 40 hours of
charging, the green Charging Status light is still flashing and not
steady, continue to charge the unit for another 15 hours.
Important: Although the charge regulation circuitry in the
XPower Powerpack does not operate with this charging method,
most vehicle voltage regulators will ensure that the XPower
Powerpack is not overcharged.
WARNING: Fire and explosion hazard
Do not use this recharging method if your vehicle has
abnormally high voltage electrical systems that operate
above 15 V DC. This may lead to accumulations of
hydrogen, causing exposure to fire and explosion hazard.
CAUTION
Do not operate AC or DC appliances while the XPower
Powerpack is being recharged with the DC Charging
Cable from your vehicle.
