5 out of 5 stars I am buying my second one for my brother!   February 14, 2008
I use a C-PAP machine for my sleep abnea. When the power goes out I can get back to sleep with confidence. I bought the Xantrex Power Pack 300 plus over a year ago. For me....It can be the difference between life and death. When the power goes out I hook it up to my C-PA.

I am buying my second one for my brother as during the last power outage in Clinton MD he was without his C-PAP for over 8 hours.
This won't be a problem for him anymore.



5 out of 5 stars Great for Emergencies   January 24, 2008
I bought POWER PACK several years back. I wanted something for the car on long trips just in case I have a flat tire, need emergency lighting, and so on. Well, not only have I pumped up a few tires but it saved my basement. I used it to keep my sump pump going until I got my gas powered generator going. It really isn't for this (the surge of a sump pump could fry the battery) but I monitored it so it wouldn't over heat and I only used it for about 15 minutes, turning it off when the alarm went on. Once the generator was running I let it cool and rest before I used it as a flashlight. It was also great for powering a radio and portable TV but its not for major eclectrical devices. I even connected it to my computer for about 1/2 hour on the same night to get the weather forcast. It truely is a great little power pack.


5 out of 5 stars I have purchased 4 of these...   October 19, 2007
Really great for back up in the car or at your home. It is nice to have these around so when we lose power we can still power the lights for hours on end. They are not going to power your fridge or coffee maker. My wife tried to use her hair dryer and it worked for a few minutes, but this is more for lights, laptops, tv, radio, etc...

I think it is worth having at least 2-3 of these in each house. Also you might want to keep one in a car or in the garage.



4 out of 5 stars Jumps a car, Runs a mini fan, able to power mini TVs   April 14, 2007

It can power a small use device for hours.
But if you can afford a higher wattage unit,
i'd go for that one instead. You'd be amazed
at how fast you can burn through 300 watts.



4 out of 5 stars Great value battery/jump start device - too bad not in stock anymore!   December 13, 2006

I bought one of these from Amazon and have been very impressed so far. The major success was that it started my dead car twice on one charge. In addition, I've used it to listen to AC boomboxes, play gameboy, power small devices. The air compressor seems a bit feeble, but does come with a handy stash of nozzles.

This thing has 20 AH batteries (probably 2 6volt replaceable-when-dead sealed batteries). The inverter is rated at 250watts (300 starting/surge watts). Remember WATTS = Volts x Amps, so you can easily run a laptop or a radio, but not a nice big color TV. Most devices tell you either their amps or their watts. You can burn an inverter by plugging to great a load into it.
