Operating 12-Volt DC Accessories
1. Ensure xPower300’s battery is fully charged. See Section 7 for
details.
2. Plug the accessory into xPower300’s DC Power Socket, and
switch the accessory on (if required). xPower300 will operate
any 12-volt DC auto or marine accessory that draws 12 amps or
less.
3. Because the DC Power Socket is internally wired direct to
xPower300’s battery, extended operation of a 12-volt accessory
may result in excessive battery discharge.
Important: Care must be taken to ensure the battery does not
become totally discharged. See Section 5 - Connecting 12-
Volt DC Accessories for details.
Recharging xPower300
1. The battery’s charge level may be seen by pressing the Battery
Status Button on xPower300’s display panel.
2. To recharge, plug the AC Charger into a household AC outlet,
and plug the AC Charger cord into the Charger Input Socket on
xPower300’s display panel. The Recharge Indicator will change
from amber to green when charging is complete (typically after
35 hours). It is safe (and recommended) to leave the AC Charger
connected indefinitely.
3. Charging may also be done from an automobile lighter socket.
See Section 7 - Recharging from Your Vehicle for details.
CAUTION: Do not use xPower300 to operate any AC products
or DC accessories while charging with the AC Charger.
