5.9 Battery Life and Management

Time away from home is greatly extended by combining the use of the
AC power supply, DC power supply and the XPO
batteries. To ensure the batteries maintain their optimal charge level,
utilize the AC power supply whenever you have access to electric
power. Utilize the DC power supply whenever you are in a vehicle.
WARNING!
Risk of Injury
Battery exhaustion will result in a loss of supplemental
oxygen. To ensure proper supplemental oxygen delivery
during a power outage:
– Plug your portable concentrator into a power source.

Do Not store or leave the XPO
external battery in car trunks, etc. for extended periods of time.
