Operating 12 V DC Appliances

Operating 12 V DC Appliances

The XPower Powerpack can operate 12 V DC auto, RV, marine, or other portable appliances that draw 12 A or less from a 12 V DC power outlet or from a vehicle’s lighter socket.

CAUTION: Equipment damage

The DC power outlet does not automatically switch off when the internal battery is discharged. To protect the internal battery against damage resulting from total discharge, turn the AC Power ON/OFF switch ON when using the XPower Powerpack to operate a 12 V DC appliance.

Having the AC Power ON/OFF switch turned ON enables the alarm to warn you when the 12 V DC appliance has nearly depleted the internal battery.

Note: The fewer watts a 12 V DC appliance draws, the longer the XPower Powerpack will operate before recharging is required.

Typical 12 V DC appliances that can be used with the

XPower Powerpack are listed in Table 3-2.
