Assembling  xPower1500’s  Handle

Figure 2 shows how to assemble the handle and attach it to
xPower1500.

An  Explanation  of  Power  Ratings  and  Battery
Life

AC powered products are rated by how much electrical power (in
watts) they consume. xPower1500 is capable of generating a
maximum of 1350 watts (maximum continuous) to power AC products
plugged into the AC outlets. As an example, a lamp with a 40-watt
light bulb can be operated from xPower1500 for up to 9½ hours when
xPower1500’s internal battery pack is fully charged.

to purchase a version B battery pack, note the serial number of your
xPower1500 (located under the Accessory Storage Compartment lid)
and contact Xantrex Customer Service for assistance.  See front of
this Owner’s Guide for contact information.
