975-0213-01-01 29
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 battery of 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 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 28.
Note: The green Charging Status light will not illuminate when
the XPower Powerpack is recharged through the DC charging
cable.
Note
: Battery Charge (%) indicator is only accurate when the
XPower Powerpack has been disconnected from all appliances
and all charging sources for 15 minutes.
Important: Do not leave the XPower Powerpack permanently
connected to the vehicle’s lighter socket or 12 V accessory outlet.
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.
