Charger Input Socket
The AC Charger supplied with xPower300 connects to this
socket when recharging is required. Other low power charging
devices can also be connected here. See Section 7 -
Recharging with a Solar Panel for full details.
DC Power Socket
The DC Power Socket is a cigarette lighter style connector
used for powering 12-volt DC auto or marine accessories (see
Section 5), and for recharging xPower300 from your vehicle’s
electrical system. See Section 7 - Recharging from Your
Vehicle.
AC Inverter
The front-mounted AC inverter is the heart of xPower300. It
converts 12 volts DC supplied by the internal battery to 115-
volt AC power. Two standard AC outlets mounted on the
right side of the inverter supply the AC power for running
products from xPower300. The inverter’s ON/OFF switch, and
its POWER and FAULT indicator lights are mounted on the
same side of the inverter as the AC outlets. A low battery
voltage alarm warns you when the inverter has nearly
discharged the battery, prior to automatic low voltage
shutdown. See Section 4 for complete details on using the AC
inverter.
High-Power DC Connector
The High-Power DC Connector, located on the lower left side
of xPower300, is a high current capacity connector wired
directly to xPower300’s battery. The Jump-Start Cable
supplied with xPower300 connects to the High-Power DC
Connector to allow jump-starting of a vehicle in an emergency.
Be sure to read Section 6 for full details before any attempt is
made to use this feature. The High-Power DC Connector can
also be used to connect an external battery to xPower300 to
increase battery capacity. See Section 8 for more information.
