Operating 12 Volt DC Appliances
18
Typical 12 volt DC appliances that can be used on the
XPower Powerpack are listed in
Table 2 .
To operate a 12 volt DC appliance:
1. Plug the 12 volt DC appliance into the DC power socket
on the right side of the unit, and turn the 12 volt DC
appliance on (if required).
If the 12 volt DC appliance draws more than 12 amps (or
has a short circuit defect), the internal circuit breaker of
the XPower Powerpack shuts off the power to the 12 volt
DC appliance. If this occurs, unplug the 12 volt DC
appliance, and the internal circuit breaker automatically
resets after a few seconds.
2. 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 volt DC
appliance may result in excessive battery discharge. See
Caution for “Equipment damage” on page 17.
