Before I even attempted to charge the unit, I removed one of the plastic covers on a plugin to inspect the plugin. To my amazement, the unit--THIS IS BEFORE CHARGING, REMEMBER--sparked, crackled and smoked. Hoping that this hadn't permanently damaged my purchase, I charged the unit for a couple of days, following the instructions to the letter. The charge light came on--alternately blinking and continuous for various periods of time--and I thought I was OK, despite the fact that the %-charged indicator didn't work.
When the unit had been charged for the required time, I tried it out by plugging in my coffee pot to brew a pot using power from the Xantrex. Nothing. No power. No coffee. I tried all of the plugins. The ALARM, however--which is supposed to come on when the unit is low on charge--DID come on. I unplugged the coffee pot and turned the unit off. The alarm STAYED ON. It continued to sound whether the unit was in the off position or in the on. It's still sounding two weeks later from its home in the dumpster (the trash company guy was spooked and wouldn't haul it away--I'll probably have to pay someone who sells batteries to dispose of it properly). I can't even send the thing back to get a refund. What parcel delivery service is going to accept a box that makes piercing alarm noises? Nice racket.Get more detail about Xantrex Powerpack 600 Watt Jumpstarter, Power Inverter and Backup Power Source.
