Recharging XPower 1500

Recharging with the AC Charger

\

CAUTION: Equipment damage or personal injury

Do not use XPower 1500 to operate any AC products or DC accessories while charging with the AC Charger. Do not use XPower 1500’s AC Charger to recharge nickel-cadmium or dry-cell batteries commonly used with home appliances and electronic equipment. These batteries may burst and cause personal injury or damage property. See the AC Charger Owner’s Guide enclosed for additional safety related information.

XPower 1500’s 5-amp AC Charger offers the convenience of “plug-in- and-forget” recharging. To use the AC Charger, follow these steps:

1.Disconnect any 12-volt DC accessories and turn the AC Outlets Switch off.

2.Plug the other end of the AC Charger into a standard 115-volt AC receptacle.

3.Insert the DC plug end into the DC Power Socket.

4.Switch the AC Charger ON. Switch is located on the AC Charger’s end panel.

5.As XPower 1500 charges, the Recharge Indicator on the AC Charger will illuminate amber. A full recharge will take up to 15 hours.

6.When fully charged, the Recharge Indicator on the AC Charger changes to green and XPower 1500 is ready to use.

7.Once XPower 1500 is fully charged, charging voltage and current automatically reduce to a low maintenance level and XPower 1500 may be left permanently connected to its AC Charger. Should your utility power be interrupted, the charging process will automatically restart when power returns.

8.If the Recharge Indicator on the AC Charger illuminates red, disconnect the AC Charger from the AC outlet and from XPower 1500 immediately. Red illumination indicates a short circuit condition in the output cable / DC plug (the section from the AC Charger to XPower 1500) or a possible defect in the DC Power Socket. Should this occur, contact Xantrex Customer Service for assistance. See Section 12 for 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.
