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. Check the battery status periodically
to prevent total battery discharge.
Note
:
The fewer watts a 12 V DC appliance draws, the longer
the XPower Powerpack will operate before recharging is required.
