Review By: Michael Merritt
Product Star Rating:
The XPower Powerpack 1500 by Xantrex Technology is a back-up power system that can supply up to 1500 W of household electricity and is an excellent alternative to a generator. Sold in a rugged cart, the XPower Powerpack 1500 can be easily wheeled from room to room or outdoors over rough terrain.
It’s quiet and safe for indoor use since it has no fumes, fuel, or moving parts. This mobile workhorse can also be used outdoors and operates a wide variety of electronics including communication devices, power tools, full-size appliances, and more. It weighs 60 lbs and measures 14.8″ H x 15.6″ W x 12.3″ D without the handle.
The XPower Powerpack 1500 system consists of a battery pack that stores electricity, advanced electronics that convert 12 volts of DC power from the battery pack to household power, an AC power panel that contains two standard outlets, and a DC power panel that is used to operate 12 volt products.
The Powerpack 1500 features many indoor and outdoor uses and can be used for emergency power to operate essential appliances, such as a refrigerator, a cordless or cell phone, a radio, fan, lamp, home security system, microwave, sump pump, and more.
It could be used in a work environment to operate power tools such as a drill, belt sander, and circular saw just to name a few. In an office you can power communication devices such as a laptop, desktop and monitor, printer, fax machine, etc.
This Product offers great features such as:
