Operating 12 Volt DC Appliances

When using the XPower Powerpack to operate an AC appliance and the low battery warning sounds, the warning gives you time to shut your AC appliance off before loss of AC power.

If you ignore the warning, the XPower Powerpack automatically turns off a few minutes later to prevent battery damage.

In the event of an overload, low battery voltage or overheating, the XPower Powerpack automatically shuts down.

Operating 12 Volt DC Appliances

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

CAUTION Equipment damage

The DC Power Socket does not automatically switch off when the internal battery is discharged. To protect the internal battery against damage resulting from total discharge, Xantrex recommends that the AC Outlet On/Off switch is turned On when using the XPower Powerpack to operate a 12 volt DC appliance.

Having the AC Outlet On/Off switch turned On enables the alarm to warn you when the 12 volt DC appliance has nearly depleted the internal battery.

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