Recharging the XPower Powerpack 600HD Battery
975-0213-01-01 31
You will need to purchase a standard 5.5 mm OD × 2.5 mm
ID (0.217" × 0.10") coaxial DC (barrel type centre positive)
connector to mate with the AC charger input socket. These
connectors are available at consumer electronics stores.
To wire the coaxial DC connector:
1. Connect the solar panel’s red positive (+) wire to the
coaxial plug’s inner or centre contact.
2. Connect the solar panel’s black negative (–) wire to the
plug’s outer contact. See Figure 4-1.
Once the connector is inserted into the AC charger input
socket and the solar panel is placed in the sun, the XPower
Powerpack charges automatically just as with the AC charger.
See “Recharging with the AC Charger” on page 27.
It takes about ten hours in direct sunlight to recharge the
XPower Powerpack from a 2.5 A solar panel.
