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.
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
a generator in several ways:
• Using the AC Charger to recharge the
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
