When using a vehicle battery as a power source, it is 
strongly recommended to start the vehicle every hour 
or two to recharge the battery before its capacity drops 
too low. The XPower inverter can operate while the 
engine is running, but the normal voltage drop that 
occurs during starting of the engine may trigger the 
inverter’s low voltage shutdown feature.
Because the power inverter draws less than 0.15 A for 
the 175 W unit, 0.2 A for the 300 W unit, and 0.25 A 
for the 700 W unit with the ON/OFF switch in the ON 
position and with no AC products connected, it has 
minimal impact on battery operating times.

Interference with Electronic Equipment

Generally, most AC products operate with the XPower 
inverter just as they would with household AC power. 
Below is information concerning two possible 
exceptions.
