About XGB.
The XGB USB Battery Pack represents some of the most
rugged, portable, and lightweight USB Battery Packs on the
planet, making them perfect for any adventure. Featuring an
IP65, they are water, dirt and impact resistant. Designed with
a high-density lithium-ion battery, they are 100% rechargeable
from any USB power source - even from a solar panel. It is the
perfect for companion for those on-the-go.
Getting Started.
The XGB USB Battery Pack comes partially charged out
of the box and needs to be fully charged prior to use. XGB
USB Battery Packs are compatible with most major devices
- including; smart-phones, tablets, eReaders, HD action
cameras, wireless speakers, headphones, smart-watches,
GPS navigation, two-way radios and more.
Charging the XGB.
Connect the XGB USB Battery Pack using the included USB
Speed Cable to the USB IN port. It can be recharged from any
USB powered port, like an AC adpater, car charger, laptop
and more - even solar energy.
Solar Charging.
All XGB USB Battery Packs can be recharged from a NOCO
XGrid® Solar Panel and FLEXUSB FLEX Regulator (sold
separately). The FLEXUSB FLEX Regulator is an innovative
micro-controller that safely and efficiently charges your favorite
USB devices. The XGB12 has the micro-controller built-in
internally and can be connected to a solar panel direcly from
its dedicated XGC port. For more information, visit no.co/
xgrid.
Pass-Through Technology.
All XGB Battery Packs include Pass-Through Technology,
which allows you to recharge the battery pack and your
favorite device at the same time. It will not overcharge any of
your devices.
Charging Times.
The time to recharge an XGB USB Battery Pack will
differ based on the discharge level of the battery
pack and the power source used. Actual results
may vary due to battery conditions. The below table is for
reference purposes only:
Model
XGB3
XGB3L
XGB6
XGB12
The time required for recharging a normally discharged
battery pack is based on an average depth-of-discharge
(DOD) of 10%. Adapter charge times is based on a 10W
power adapter, USB port is based on a 3.0 USB laptop port
at 900mA, and solar is based on max output.
Charging Your USB Devices.
The XGB USB Battery Pack can recharge virtually any USB
device. Charging your USB device is easy. Connect the
included USB Speed Cable to a USB OUT port on the battery
pack. Depending on the XGB model, the battery capacity,
number of USB ports, and charging currents will differ. Below
is a breakdown of each model:

The number of times you can recharge a USB device will
vary from brand-to-brand and device-to-device. For actual
recharge times, contact your device manufacturer for more
specifications of your internal battery. For reference purposes

Understanding Charge LED(s).
The Charge LED(s) indicate the internal batteries state-ofcharge (SOC) both when charging and discharging. The XGB3
and XGB3L have one (1) Charge LED, whereas, the XGB6
and XGB12 have four (4) Charge LEDs (25%, 50%, 75% and
100%).
When Charging.
Below illustrates how the Charge LED(s) will operate when
charging:
XGB3/XGB3L
The XGB3 and XGB3L will pulse a red LED “on” and “off”
when charging, then turn solid green when fully charged.
XGB6/XGB12
When first powered “on”, the XGB6 and XGB12 will quickly
flash all Charge LEDs. This shows all LEDs are properly
working. The XGB6 and XGB12 will then show the batteries
current SOC, and begin charging. During charging, each
charging stage will pulse “on” and “off”, then turn solid. When

all Charge LEDs are solid (Red, Red, Yellow, Green),
the battery pack is fully charged and ready to use.
When Discharging.
Below illustrates how the Charge LED(s) will operate when
discharging:
XGB3/XGB3L
The XGB3 and XGB3L will display a green LED when the
battery pack is between 80-100% charged, and a red LED
when between 2-79% charged. Two percent (2%) of the
battery capacity is reserved for low battery indication.
XGB6/XGB12
The XGB6 and XGB12 capacity will reduce after use, as
indicated the 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% Charge LEDs. Only
the illuminated Charge LEDs displays the current SOC. As the
battery pack is losing capcity, each Charge LED will rapidly
pulse “on” and “off”.
When Disconnecting from Power.
Below illustrates how the Charge LED(s) when disconnecting
from power:
XGB3/XGB3L
The XGB3 and XGB3L will flash a green LED two (2) times
when disconnected from power.
XGB6/XGB12
The XGB6 and XGB12 will flash the red 25% LED two (2)
times when disconnected from power.
Glow Light. [XGB6 and XGB12]
The XGB6 and XGB12 come with a Glow Light. The Glow
Light is a low-current, LED light to provide low-light during
nighttime conditions for reading, or locating the USB ports.
Glow Light is not designed to be a flashlight replacement. A
small Power Button labeled Gloww turns the Glow Light “on”
and “off”.

XGB3L is a powerful 250 lumen tactical-grade LED flashlight.
It has five (5) light modes that effect its performance and
longevity: 100%, 50%, 10%, Strobe and Off.
To turn the flashlight “on” and “off”, use the large Power
button. Press once to turn “on” the flashlight at 100%
luminosity, again for 50% luminosity (within 3 seconds), again
for 10% luminosity (within 3 seconds), again for Strobe (within
3 seconds), and again for “Off”. If a light mode is not selected
within three (3) seconds, it will remain on the current light
mode, and the next selection will turn the flashlight “off”.
Depending on the mode selection, XGB3L will have various
levels of output and runtime. When operated for a long time,
XGB3L may get uncomfortably warm. This is normal and
is not a defect. The only way to reduce operating heat is to
significantly lower the output. When used for short periods
of time, heat will not be a problem. Selecting a lower power
mode when using XGB3L for extended periods of time will
prolong battery life and reduce heat build up.
Below is a table illustrating each light mode, its brightness
and runtime:
