1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the XPower Pocket
Powerpack 100. This product is part of a family of
advanced high-performance power inverters from
Xantrex, the leader in high-frequency inverter design.
The XPower Pocket Powerpack 100 has two separate
modules:
1. An inverter module
Connected to the 12 V DC outlet in your vehicle,
the XPower Inverter efficiently and reliably
powers a wide variety of loads through both the
AC outlet and USB port.
2. A Powerpack module
When 12 V DC power is not available, the
Powerpack module can provide power to the
inverter. The Powerpack has a nickel metal
hydride (NiMH) battery you can recharge using
household electricity or 12 V DC power from a
vehicle DC outlet.

The XPower Pocket Powerpack 100 uses reliable
solid state power electronics for years of safe, trouble-
free operation and includes automatic safety
monitoring circuitry to protect it, and your battery,
from inadvertent overload conditions.
Read this guide before operating or charging the
XPower Pocket Powerpack 100, and save it for future
reference. The main topics in the guide are:
• Safety information (page 3)
• XPower Inverter features (page 11)
• Instructions for connecting the inverter (page 13)
• Operating guidelines (page 20)
• Troubleshooting information (page 30)

2 Important Safety Information
Misusing or incorrectly connecting the XPower
Pocket Powerpack 100 may damage the equipment or
create hazardous conditions for users. Read the
following safety instructions and pay special attention
to all Caution and Warning statements in the guide.
Warnings identify conditions that may result in
personal injury or loss of life.
Cautions identify conditions or practices that may
damage the unit or other equipment.
Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
Keep the XPower Pocket Powerpack 100 out of
reach of children and pets. The inverter generates
the same potentially lethal AC power as a normal
household wall outlet. Treat the outlet with respect!
4
WARNING
The inverter housing may become uncomfortably
warm, reaching 140° F (60° C) under extended high
power operation. During operation, keep it away
from materials that may be affected by high
temperatures.
WARNING
Do not use the XPower Pocket Powerpack 100 in
the presence of flammable fumes or gases, such as
in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or near
propane tanks. Do not use the XPower Pocket
Powerpack 100 in an enclosure containing
automotive-type, lead-acid batteries. These
batteries, unlike sealed batteries, vent explosive
hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks from
electrical connections.
5
WARNING: Shock hazard
Use caution when inserting an AC plug into the
three-prong AC outlet. The prongs of an AC plug
can become bent from misuse. If an AC plug is
improperly inserted into the AC outlet, a bent prong
can slip outside the inverter and become a shock
hazard.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Grip the inverter carefully when inserting or
removing an AC plug. Keep your fingers clear of
the AC outlet. Ensure that your fingers do not
contact the prongs of an AC plug when the plug is
partially inside the inverter.
