Run Time on Typical AC Appliances
Typical AC appliances that can be used on the XPower
Powerpack are listed in Table 3-1.
High Surge Appliances
The wattage rating of AC appliances is the average power
used by the appliance. Appliances such as televisions,
computer monitors and appliances with motors consume
much more power than their average rating when they are
first switched on.
Although XPower Powerpack can supply momentary surge
power up to 600 W, some appliances may exceed the
capabilities of the XPower Powerpack and trigger the
inverter’s safety overload shutdown circuit.
Note : The fewer watts an AC appliance uses, the longer the
XPower Powerpack will operate before recharging is required.
