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 rating (250 watts 2.1 amps).
Some appliances may be damaged if they are connected to
the XPower Powerpack. See “Precautions for Using
Rechargeable Appliances” on page viii.
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 15.
Important:
The 40 hour charging time for theXPower
Powerpack assumes that there is 120 volts at the AC wall outlet. If
the voltage is less than 120 volts AC, it may take more than 40
hours to full recharge the XPower Powerpack. If, after 40 hours of
charging, the Recharge indicator is still amber and not green,
continue to charge the unit for another 15 hours. The battery will
be fully charged even if the Recharge indicator is still amber.
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.
