15 • If an AC product rated higher than 175 W is plugged into the XPower inv erter, the inverter will shut down. The red fault light comes on. • If the XPower inverter exceeds a safe operating temperature, due to insufficient ventilation or a high-temperature environ ment, it automatically shuts down.
16 Battery Operating Time Operating time will vary dependin g on the charge level of the battery , it s capaci ty and th e power level drawn by the particular AC load, USB load, or combination of both. W ith a typical vehicle battery and a 140 W load, an operating time of 2 to 2.
