AC Appliances
The XPower Powerpack has two AC power outlets for use
with AC appliances. You can either plug the appliance
directly into the AC outlet on the XPower Powerpack or you
can use an AC power bar to increase the number of outlets
available. However, the combined loads cannot exceed
320 watts AC (2.66 amps). The fewer the watts an appliance
uses, the longer the XPower Powerpack will operate before
recharging is required.
Some appliances may be difficult or impossible to operate
from the XPower Powerpack. They may have high surge
requirements or should not be run from the XPower
Powerpack. See “High Surge Appliances” on page 3–13 and
“Trouble Appliances” on page 3–13.
Typical AC appliances that can be used on the XPower
Powerpack are listed in Table 3-1.
Important: Know the size of the loads.
