12-voltDCautoandmarineaccessoriesaregenerally rated
according to how much electrical current (in amperes or “amps”) they
draw from the battery. For example, a small 12-volt fluorescent light
draws less than 0.7 amps. When connected to xPower1500’s DC
Power Socket, this light could be expected to operate for about 75
hours before xPower1500’s battery pack needs recharging.
xPower1500 is designed to supply up to 12 amps from its DC Power
Socket.
Remember: The fewer watts anAC product uses, or the fewer amps
a DC accessory draws, the longer xPower1500 will operate before
recharging is required.
Operating 115-Volt AC Products
1. Ensure xPower1500’s battery pack is fully charged. See Section 7
for details.
2. Turn the AC Outlets switch ON. The green POWER light
indicates AC power is available at the AC outlets.
3. Plug the AC product(s) you wish to operate into the AC outlet(s)
andswitchthe product(s) ON, one at a time. xPower1500 will
operate most devices rated up to 1350 watts.
4. In the event of an overload, low battery voltage or overheating,
the AC outlets will automatically shut down and the red FAULT
lightwillilluminate.SeeSection4-AutomaticProtection:
Overload,OverheatingandLowBatteryfordetails.
5. Fully recharge xPower1500’s battery pack as soon as possible
after each use.
Operating 12-Volt DC Accessories
1. Ensure xPower1500’s battery pack is fully charged. See Section 7
for details.
2. Plug the accessory into xPower1500’s DC Power Socket, and
switch the accessory on (if required). xPower1500 will operate any
12-volt DC auto or marine accessory that draws 12 amps or less.
3. Because the DC Power Socket is internally wired directly to
xPower1500’s internal battery pack, extended operation of a 12-
volt accessory may result in excessive battery discharge.
IMPORTANT: Care must be taken to ensure the battery pack does
not become totally discharged. See Section 5 for details.
NOTE: The internal cooling fan is thermally activated whenever the
AC Outlet’s switch is ON. The cooling fan helps maintain
xPower1500’s output power when products with high power
requirements are run.
24
8. Remove personal metal items such as rin s, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when workin with a lead-acid
battery. When a short circuit if created, a lead-acid battery
can produces a current hi h enou h to weld a rin or the like
to metal, causin a severe burn.
Obtaining a Replacement Battery
The internal battery pack in your xPower1500 is either versionAor
version B as described below:
(A)Three separate 21 amp-hour batteries, each with a positive and
negative terminal visible, connected in parallel with cables.
or
(B) A single 63 amp-hour battery pack with only one positive and
one negative terminal showing.
There are different options for battery replacement depending on
which battery pack version is in your xPower1500.
If your xPower1500 has versionA, replace the three existing batteries
with three new, sealed, lead acid, AGM type batteries. In addition to
the factory installed 21 amp-hour DiaMec DMU12-21 batteries, you
may also use other approved batteries as listed below. These
batteries are available in most areas from stores that specialize in
higher amperage, deep cycle batteries.
To maximize run time, select a battery with the highest amp-hour
rating. It is acceptable to use batteries with ratings of 17, 18, or 21
amp-hours provided all three batteries have the same amp-hour
rating. Do not install replacement batteries unless all are sealed, lead
acid, AGM designs with the same amp-hour rating and with the same
manufacturer’s part number. Using batteries with a 17 or 18 amp-hour
ratingwillnot impact xPower1500’soutputpower of 1350watts
continuous, but will result in slightly shorter run times forAC or DC
products.
IMPORTANT: If you do not know how to safely remove and install
higher amperage batteries, have this task preformed by a qualified
service technician. See Section 9 for safety information.

Recharging xPower1500
1. The battery’s charge level may be seen by pressing the Battery
Status switch on theAC Power Panel.
2. To recharge, plug the AC Charger into a standard 115-voltAC
outlet and the DC plug into the DC Power Socket (located on the
DC Power Panel). The Recharge Indicator on theAC Charger will
change from amber to green when charging is complete (up to 15
hours). It is safe (and recommended) to leave theAC Charger
connected indefinitely.
IMPORTANT:Reviewthesafetyinformation intheAC Charger
Owner’sGuide(alsoenclosed)before rechargingxPower1500.
3. Charging may also be done from an automobile lighter socket.
See Section 7 for details.

9 Battery Replacement
The batteries used in xPower1500 are a high quality, state-of-the-art design
that will serve as a reliable power source for years when properly maintained.
To maximizebatterylifeit isimportanttorechargexPower1500’sbatterypack
after each use, recharge fully every three months if placed in storage, and
store in a location that maintains a temperature range of 32º to 104ºF (0º to
40ºC). Also, discharging the battery pack below 10.0 volts will shorten its
life.
IMPORTANT: The battery pack is covered under warranty only when it is
properlymaintained.
Replacing xPower1500’s Internal Battery Pack
Before attempting to replace the battery pack, contact Xantrex
Customer Service for specific instructions. See contact information
in the front of this Owner’s Guide. Provide Customer Service with the
serial number of your unit (located under the lid of the Accessory
Storage Compartment). If you do not know how to safely remove
and install higher amperage batteries, have this task preformed by a
qualified service technician.
WARNING: To avoid potentially serious injury, follow these
precautions when workin with batteries:
1. Someone should be within ran e of your voice or close enou h
to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery
acid contacts skin, clothin , or eyes.
3. Wear complete eye protection and clothin protection. Avoid
touchin your eyes while workin near batteries.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothin , wash immediately
with soap and water. If acid enters your eye. immediately
flood it with runnin cold water for at least twenty minutes
and et medical attention.
5. Keep a supply of bakin soda on hand in the area of the
batteries. Bakin soda neutralizes lead-acid battery electrolyte.
6. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of the en ine
or batteries.
7. Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of droppin a metal tool
on the battery. It mi ht spark or short-circuit the battery or
other electrical parts that may cause an explosion.
