Customer Reviews

Useful
This Xantrex powerpack is quite useful and well worth the cost. However, prospective buyers should compare their needs with the manufacturers specs. One should also consider that these specs are bound to deteriorate as the battery is used and as it ages.

I really like the lights on this unit, the USB charger, the on-board solar panel, easy portability, user replaceable battery, and solid attractive construction.

I do wish that I could plug-in one of my 13Amp solar panels to charge the battery quicker than the supplied 5Amp panel (like I can do with my Xantrex 400R). But this is actually a scientific limitation. If I did plug-in my 13Amp solar panel it would cause the battery to overheat and would overload the unit. This could even be dangerous.

Anyway, Xantrex manufactures many similar high quality products. Take your pick based on your needs, on customer reviews, and manufacturer specs. Clear thinking, in advance of purchase, will most likely lead to satisfaction.

So Far So Good
I was skeptical, but after two camping trips and a power outage using the Xantrex Xpower Powerpack I am pleasantly surprised. It did not take as long to charge as other reviewers indicated, and had no problems using AC, Solar or DC(car) methods of recharging. I operated everything from inflatable bed pumps to portable DVD players and tent fans, and even re-charged two phones and a DVD player after a night of use. If you are a camper and are not expecting to be able to power your home appliances on road trips you might just be as satisfied as I am. I can not speak to how the battery lasts over time as I've only had it two months but as I said so far so good

Dose that i got it to do
OK guys come on think before you buy. I go camping a lot and I use it to charge my IPhone, portable speakers, and power LCD light rope it works grate yeah it will charge laptop as well but not if your not going to use it for multiple things. Buy 2 like I did
