Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances

CAUTION: Equipment damage

The output of the inverter is non-sinusoidal.

Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage charging output.

Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged if connected to the XPower Inverter 1000. Do not use the following with the XPower Inverter 1000:

Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.

Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These affected chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.

If you are unsure about using your rechargeable appliance with the XPower Inverter 1000, contact the equipment manufacturer to determine the rechargeable appliance’s compatibility with the modifed sinewave (non-sinusoidal) AC waveform.
