Operating 12 V DC Appliances
The XPower Powerpack can operate 12 V DC auto, RV,
marine, or other portable appliances that draw 12 A or less
from a 12 V DC power outlet or from a vehicle’s lighter
socket.
Typical 12 V DC appliances that can be used with the
XPower Powerpack are listed in Table 3-2.
CAUTION: Equipment damage
The DC power outlet does not automatically switch off when the
internal battery is discharged. To protect the internal battery against
damage resulting from total discharge, turn the AC Power
ON / OFF
switch ON when using the XPower Powerpack to operate a 12 V DC
appliance.
Having the AC Power
ON / OFF switch turned ON enables the alarm
to warn you when the 12 V DC appliance has nearly depleted the
internal battery.
Note
:
The fewer watts a 12 V DC appliance draws, the longer
the XPower Powerpack will operate before recharging is required.
