Introduction

How XS400 Works

XS400 is a sine wave inverter which converts 12 volts direct-current (DC) power from your battery to 120 volts alternating current (AC) power. This AC power is the same as the electricity you get from your utility. In terms of output, XS400 provides 400 watts of sine wave power for operating your appliances.
