5 Using the Inverter Through its AC outlet, the XPower Pocket Powerpack 100 is capable of powering most 120 V AC products that use 100 W or less. The XPower Pocket Powerpack 100 can also power or charge most consumer electronics that have USB power ports. The XPower Pocket Powerpack 100’s AC output waveform, called “modified sine wave,” is designed to function similarly to the sine wave shape of utility power. You can operate the inverter module in two configurations: • By itself, connec

Using the Inverter Module with DC Input Cable Using the Vehicle Power Outlet Adapter Due to the limitations of 12 V outlets in automobiles or boats, the inverter module should only be used to supply AC power to products that require 100 W (about 0.8 A) or less. 1. Attach the power outlet adapter to the DC input cable. See Figure 4 on page 15. 2. Plug the DC input cable into the DC input port on the inverter module. Align the plug and port correctly. See Figure 4. CAUTION: Reverse polarity
