Using the Built-in Light
The XPower Powerpack has a built-in incandescent light
which will operate for about 15 hours before the unit needs to
be recharged. The On/Off switch is located above the light.
Operating AC Appliances
Understanding AC Appliances
AC appliances are rated by how much electrical power (in
watts) they consume. XPower Powerpack can power most
appliances within its continuous power rating (160 W, 1 A).
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 13 and
“Trouble Appliances” on page 13.
Run Time on Typical AC Appliances
Typical AC appliances that can be used on the XPower
Powerpack are listed in Table 3-1.
Important: If you keep the XPower Powerpack in storage, the
battery will self-discharge over time. Remember to recharge the
battery every three months to keep the XPower Powerpack
operational.
Note
: Once fully charged, the charging current automatically
reduces to a maintenance charge mode, and the XPower
Powerpack may be left permanently connected to the AC Charger.
Note
: The fewer watts an AC appliance uses, the longer the
XPower Powerpack will operate before recharging is required.
