Operating AC Appliances
Run Time on Typical AC Appliances
Note: The fewer watts an AC appliance uses, the longer the XPower Powerpack will operate before recharging is required.
Typical AC appliances that can be used on the XPower
Powerpack are listed in Table
Table 3-1 AC Appliances and Run Times
| Wattsa | Run time (hours)b |
Cordless telephone | 5 | 56 |
Fluorescent work light | 14 | 20 |
Laptop computer | 40 | 7 |
Table lamp | 40 | 7 |

a.Represents actual power consumption as measured on sample products.
b.Operating times assume a fully charged 28 Ah battery and may vary based on model/brand used.
High Surge Appliances
The wattage rating of AC appliances is the average power used by the appliance. Appliances such as televisions, computer monitors and appliances with motors consume much more power than their average rating when they are first switched on.
Although XPower Powerpack can supply momentary surge power up to 960 W, some appliances may exceed the capabilities of the XPower Powerpack and trigger the inverter’s safety overload shutdown circuit.
