Xantrex XPower PowerSource 1800 If you've ever had to deal with the inconvenience or a power outage, whether in your home, at the cottage, in the office, or in your workshop, you'll appreciate the benefits to be had from an emergency power backup supply. Generators are the way to go for longer term power backup - particularly for anyone living in remote areas, or during winter months when blackouts can last for days at a time. However, when you need power backup for a short period of time, battery backup power might be a better choice. Generators are more expensive than battery systems and they typically require a combustible fuel such as gas, diesel, or propane, making them noisy, and producing harmful emissions. Usually they need to be operated outdoors.

The PowerSource 1800 and Powerhub 1800 backup power systems keep your by Canadian Tire a couple of years ago as the Noma PowerSource 1800. 24 Oct 2015 I'm hoping to find a bit of specific advice on a Noma-branded Xantrex Powersource 1800 battery backup. Oct 26, 2012 - Home Backup Power: Will run a fridge, freezer, sump pump and 1000 W microwave, fish tank light and air pump, home alarm system.

If you live in a condo or apartment they're out of the question. Battery power backup systems, on the other hand, are silent in operation, emission free, maintenance free, and considerably less expensive than generators. Even if you have your own home, a generator combined with battery backup might make more sense.

A battery backup system can keep a full-size refrigerator and home alarm system running for up to 1-1/2 hours; a cordless phone, 20” color TV, clock radio, and table lamp running for up to four hours; or a cordless phone, wireless router, laptop and inkjet printer on the go for up to 10 hours. Other practical uses for a battery powered system include include running sump pumps and fish tank pumps. The Xantrex XPower PowerSource 1800 is, much like the that I reviewed earlier this year, designed to provide short to medium term power to products that consume up to 1,440 watts. Three AGM batteries store backup power Inside the PowerSource 1800 are three 17 amp-hour AGM batteries, encased in a sheet metal case that has a high impact plastic housing. This sealed, lead-acid batteries use 'Absorbed Glass Mats' (AGM) between the plates. The acid (electrolyte) inside the batteries is contained in the glass mats and won't spill, even if broken, which makes these batteries non-hazardous. The batteries have other benefits as well - they're immune from freezing; they withstand shock and vibration better than other types of batteries; they don't heat up under heavy charge and discharge currents; and they have a low self-discharge rate of around 1 to 3 percent per month.

Four AC outlets at the rear At the front of the unit is a single AC outlet, while at the back are four AC outlets, the AC power cord, and a 15-amp circuit protector. You can plug in as many appliances as you like, as long as the combined draw doesn't exceed 1,450 watts. However the PowerSource can accommodate power surges of up to 3,600 watts. Xantrex recommends that you keep the PowerSource 1800 plugged into a wall outlet all the time - this will keep the unit in a continual charged condition, ready to supply maximum power in an emergency. It's also better for the batteries if they are kept continuously charged rather than being left uncharged for extended periods of time. It also defeats the purpose of a battery backup system if the power supply is not fully charged and ready to go when needed. A full recharge takes up to 15 hours, while a 50% recharge takes 7 hours.

The PowerSource 1800 should deliver about 400 discharge cycles with the XPower. Eventually the three AGM batteries will need to be replaced. The procedure isn't overly complicated - if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, any electrical repair shop can handle the job for you. Control panel The control panel is located on the top of the unit, and is straight forward to operate. On the left is the 'Power' button.
