6 XPower Inverter 1500 Owner’s Guide
Inverter Installation
Typical Power System Design
Determine how you are going to use your inverter then design a power
system that will give you maximum performance. The configuration shown
below is a typical power system design applied in installing the inverter in
recreational vehicles.
Battery Requirements
Battery type and battery size strongly affect the performance of the XPower
Inverter 1500 . Therefore, you need to identify the type of loads your
inverter will be powering and how much you will be using them between
charges. Once you know how much power you will be using, you can
determine how much battery capacity you need. Xantrex recommends that
you purchase as much battery capacity as possible.
Charging System
The charging system must be appropriate for your particular installation. A
well-designed charging system will ensure that power is available when you
need it and that your batteries remain in top condition. Inadequate charging
will degrade system performance and the wrong type of charger will reduce
battery life.

IMPORTANT:
Connect the inverter to a 12-volt battery or 12-volt battery
bank system. The inverter will not work on 6-volt battery systems and will
be damaged when connected to a higher-than-12-volt battery system such
as a 24-volt battery system in some trucks or recreational vehicles.
