Powering 12-volt DC Accessories
Connecting 12-volt DC Accessories
XPower 1500 can operate any accessory that is intended to run from a
vehicle’s lighter socket. Simply insert the accessory’s plug into the DC
Power Socket on XPower 1500’s DC Power Panel. XPower 1500’s DC
Power Socket will operate any 12-volt DC auto, marine or other 12-volt
accessory that draws 12 amps or less. The following steps assume you
have first fully charged XPower 1500’s internal battery pack according to
instructions in “Recharging XPower 1500” on page 2–16.
1. Plug the accessory into XPower 1500’s DC Power Socket, and switch
the accessory on (if required).
2. The 12-volt accessory will operate until the battery pack runs out of
power. Refer to step 4 (below) to avoid battery damage due to
excessive discharge.
3. If an accessory that draws more than 12 amps (or which has a short
circuit defect) is connected, XPower 1500’s internal circuit breaker
will immediately switch off power to the accessory. If this occurs,
unplug the accessory and the breaker will automatically reset after a
few seconds.
4. Fully recharge XPower 1500’s battery pack as soon as possible after
each use.
Important:
The DC Power Socket does not automatically switch off the load
when the internal battery pack is discharged. To protect the battery pack against
damage resulting from total discharge, turn the AC Outlets Switch ON, even
when powering 12-volt accessories only. This will enable the XPower 1500’s
low battery alarm to warn you when the 12-volt accessory has nearly depleted
the battery pack. The battery power used by XPower 1500 to monitor the internal
battery voltage level is negligible.
