Figure 2-2Battery level Indicator

 

When the battery pack is fully charged, all four lights will illuminate.

 

When discharged (empty), only the red light will illuminate and the

 

battery pack must be recharged promptly. Figure 4 shows the battery pack

 

to be approximately ¾ full.

 

Battery charge level is indicated most accurately when the battery pack

 

has been unused for 15 minutes. Pressing the Battery Status Switch while

 

supplying power to an AC product may result in a false battery charge

 

level reading.

AC Outlets

Turning this switch ON supplies power to both AC Outlets. An audio tone

Switch /

sounds briefly when the AC Outlets are turned on. The POWER light

POWER Light /

illuminates to confirm the AC Outlets are on. Turning this switch OFF

AC Outlets

cuts power to the AC Outlets. When the POWER Light is off, the AC

 

Outlets are off.

 

 

 

Important: The vents around the AC Outlets should never be covered or

 

blocked when XPower 1500 is used. These vents are essential for maintaining

 

optimal performance.

Fault Light

The FAULT Light illuminates when automatic shutdown occurs as a

 

result of low battery voltage, overload, or over temperature conditions.

 

See “Automatic Protection: Overload, Overheating, and Low Battery” on

 

page 2–10for details.

DC Power

As shown in Figure 5 below, the DC Power Panel contains the DC Power

Panel

Socket, which provides 12 volts for operating automotive and marine type

 

products. The DC Power Socket also serves as the input for recharging

 

with either the AC Charger or DC Charging Cable. See “Recharging

 

XPower 1500” on page 2–16for details.

1500 specifications

Xantrex Technology is a well-regarded name in the field of power conversion solutions, particularly known for its advanced inverter and charger systems for various applications, including recreational vehicles, marine, and mobile power systems. Three of their popular models are the Xantrex inverter series: the 800, 1500, and 1750. Each model is designed to provide reliable, efficient power in a compact form factor, catering to different power needs.

The Xantrex 800 inverter delivers 800 watts of continuous power, making it suitable for smaller applications such as charging electronic devices, powering lights, or running small appliances. It combines a sine wave output with high-efficiency technology to ensure compatibility with sensitive electronics. One of its main features is an easy-to-use interface, typically including LED indicators, that allows users to monitor power status at a glance.

The Xantrex 1500 inverter ups the ante by offering 1500 watts of continuous power. It is particularly well-suited for larger loads, such as microwave ovens or small refrigerators. This model incorporates advanced power management technology, ensuring better load handling and energy efficiency. The built-in safety features, including over-voltage and over-temperature protection, enhance the reliability of this inverter for longer-term applications.

The Xantrex 1750 inverter is the most powerful among the three, delivering 1750 watts of continuous output. This model is ideal for users who require robust power supply capabilities, such as on extended camping trips or in off-grid scenarios. It features a user-friendly interface with digital displays that provide detailed information on power usage, battery status, and operational conditions. This inverter is designed with advanced technology to maximize efficiency and minimize power loss during operation.

All three models utilize pure sine wave technology, which is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of sensitive electronics. They also include features such as automatic shutdown in the event of excessive heating or other anomalies, ensuring protection for both the inverter and the devices connected to it. Additionally, compact and lightweight design makes these inverters easy to install and transport, making them ideal for a variety of mobile and stationary applications. Whether you require minimal power for small devices or a more robust system for larger loads, Xantrex Technology offers versatile inverter options to meet diverse needs.
