AC Appliances
AC Appliances
The XPower Powerpack has two AC power outlets for use with AC appliances. You can either plug the appliance directly into the AC outlet on the XPower Powerpack or you can use an AC power bar to increase the number of outlets available. However, the combined loads cannot exceed
320watts AC (2.66 amps). The fewer the watts an appliance uses, the longer the XPower Powerpack will operate before recharging is required.
Some appliances may be difficult or impossible to operate from the XPower Powerpack. They may have high surge requirements or should not be run from the XPower Powerpack. See “High Surge Appliances” on page
Important: Know the size of the loads.
320 watts AC Maximum Load
Amps x Volts = Watts
2.66 amps AC x 120 volts AC = 320 watts AC
