Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances
Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or
transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low
voltage charging output.
Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged if
connected to the XPower 1500. Do not use the following with the
XPower Inverter 1500:
• Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night
lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
• Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These
affected chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous
voltages are present at the battery terminals.
If you are unsure about using your rechargeable appliance with the
XPower 1500, contact the equipment manufacturer to determine the
rechargeable appliance’s compatibility with the modified sinewave (non-
sinusoidal) AC waveform.
CAUTION: Equipment damage
The output of the inverter is non-sinusoidal.
CAUTION: Equipment damage
Do not connect live AC power to the XPower inverter’s AC outlets. The inverter
will be damaged even if it is switched OFF.
Do not connect any AC load that has its neutral conductor connected to ground to
the XPower inverter.
