XPower Inverter 150, 300 & 500 12 VDC to 230 VDC /50 Hz Power Inverters
Portable AC power from the battery in your vehicle
Ideal for powering recreational, mobile office equipment and other electronic appliances, XPower Inverters
convert 12 volts of DC battery power in your vehicle to 230 volts of AC power. Available in a range of
sizes, the inverters can power a variety of electronic products including TVs, VCRs, fax machines, laptop
computers, camcorders, stereos, small power tools and work lights.
Choosing the right size of inverter for a particular application is important. For example, the XPower 150
Inverter can run a laptop for approximately 9 hours from a 75-amp hour battery; the XPower 300 can run a
49 cm TV for approximately 6 hours from a 75-amp hour battery. The exact run time depends on the amount
of power being drawn by the application and the size and condition of the battery. The XPower Inverter 500
can be used instead of a generator for low power or intermitent loads.

Warnings and Cautions
6
WARNING: Shock hazard
The XPower 300 generates the same potentially lethal AC
power as a household wall outlet. Do not insert foreign
objects in the inverter’s AC outlet or any other openings in
the inverter. Do not open the inverter. Have a qualified
individual complete any service work.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Do not expose the XPower 300 to water, rain, snow, or
spray.

WARNING: Risk of fire or explosion
The XPower 300 contains components that tend to produce
arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install
the inverter in compartments containing batteries or
flammable materials or in locations that require ignition-
protected equipment.
WARNING: Fire hazard
To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the
ventilation openings. Do not install the XPower 300 in a
zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.
WARNING: Shock and fire hazard
During installation route all cable/wiring away from sharp
edges and hot surfaces of the engine compartment or
vehicle.

CAUTION: Risk of damage to equipment
The XPower 300 is designed to be directly connected to
standard electrical and electronic equipment in the manner
described in this guide. Do not connect it to household or
RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect it to any AC
load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to
ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery)
source.
CAUTION: Risk of damage to the XPower
300
Reverse battery polarity (negative connected to positive;
positive connected to negative) will damage the XPower
300, and it will require servicing. Damage caused by
reverse polarity is not covered by your warranty.
