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 rechargeable batteries can be damaged if
connected to the XPower Powerpack 400 and XPower
Powerpack 400 Plus.
Do not use the following with the XPower Powerpack 400
and XPower Powerpack 400 Plus:
• 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 hand power
tools. These affected chargers display a warning label
stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery
terminals.
CAUTION
The output of the inverter is non-sinusoidal.
Note: If you are unsure about using your rechargeable
appliance with the XPower Powerpack 400 and XPower
Powerpack 400 Plus, contact the equipment manufacturer to
determine the rechargeable appliance’s compatibility with
the modified sinewave (non-sinusoidal) AC waveform.
