Operating 12 Volt DC Appliances
17
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.
