Operating 12 V DC Appliances
975-0057-01-01 3-9
Typical 12 V DC appliances that can be used on the XPower
Powerpack are listed in Table 3-2 .
To operate a 12 V DC appliance:
1. Open the protective cover on the left side of the
XPower
Powerpack .
2. Plug the 12 V DC appliance into the DC power socket on
the left side of the unit, and turn the 12 V DC appliance
on (if required).
If the 12 V DC appliance draws more than 12 A (or has a
short-circuit defect), the internal circuit breaker of the
XPower Powerpack shuts off the power to the 12 V DC
appliance. If this occurs, unplug the 12 V DC appliance,
and the internal circuit breaker automatically resets after
a few seconds.
3. Fully recharge the XPower Powerpack as soon as
possible after each use.
As the DC power socket is internally wired directly to the
internal battery, extended operation of a 12 V DC
appliance may result in excessive battery discharge. See
Caution for
“Equipment damage” on page 3–8 .
