Xantrex XPower 1000 Inverter GFCI & Remote ON/OFF UL458
Xantrex XPower 1000 Inverter GFCI & Remote ON/OFF UL458 Product Description
Power your adventures or job site with confidence using the Xantrex XPower 1000 inverter. This compact powerhouse transforms 12V DC battery power into reliable 120V AC electricity, perfect for running everyday essentials when you're off the grid. Whether you're boondocking in an RV, tackling a remote worksite in your truck, or enjoying a day on the water, this inverter delivers 1000 watts of continuous power with a 2000-watt surge capacity to handle demanding startup loads like motors or compressors.
What sets it apart? Built-in GFCI outlets for enhanced safety in damp environments, remote on/off capability for easy control from anywhere in your vehicle, and UL458 certification ensuring it meets rigorous marine and mobile standards. It's not just an inverter—it's your gateway to uninterrupted power for appliances, tools, and gadgets.
Why Mobile Users Rely on the XPower 1000
Imagine plugging in your coffee maker during a morning RV routine or powering a drill on a construction site without hunting for outlets. This inverter excels in real-world scenarios:
- Versatile Performance: High-efficiency design (up to 90%) maximizes battery life, converting nearly all available DC power to clean AC without excessive waste.
- Safety First: Dual GFCI-protected outlets prevent shocks in wet conditions, ideal for boats or rainy job sites.
- Easy Integration: Heavy-duty stud connectors and included mounting brackets make setup straightforward, even for DIYers.
- Remote Control: Switch it on or off from your dashboard or helm station—no crawling under seats.
Unlike basic inverters, its modified sine wave output works seamlessly with most household items, from lights to small appliances, while surge handling tackles tough loads like fridge compressors.
Standout Features for Everyday Reliability
- Two GFCI AC receptacles support multiple devices simultaneously.
- Optimized for 12V systems with 10.5-15.5V input range.
- Compact footprint: 12.3 x 5.9 x 2.8 inches, weighing just over 4 lbs for easy mounting.
- Low no-load draw keeps idle battery drain minimal.
Advanced Protection Keeps You Safe
Built to last in harsh conditions, it includes multi-layer safeguards:
- Overload and overtemperature automatic shutdown.
- Overvoltage protection at 15V DC.
- Low voltage alarm at 11V DC and cutoff at 10.5V DC to prevent deep battery discharge.
These features protect your inverter, batteries, and connected gear, extending system life on long trips or extended jobs.
Real-World Applications
From weekend warriors to pros, here's how it powers your world:
- RV Living: Microwaves, fans, lights, and chargers.
- Marine Use: Fish finders, stereos, and small pumps.
- Truck & Contractor: Drills, sanders, and buffers.
- Off-Grid Setup: Laptops, TVs, and portable fridges.
Pro Tip: Pair with deep-cycle batteries sized at least 100Ah for several hours of runtime on moderate loads. For example, a 300W appliance might run 3-4 hours on a standard group 24 battery.

Simple Installation Tips for Optimal Performance
Mount in a cool, dry spot with good ventilation. Connect positive and negative cables directly to your battery (use at least 4 AWG wire for short runs). Ground the chassis to your vehicle's frame. Test with low loads first, and always disconnect when not in use to save battery. For remote operation, route the switch cable neatly along existing wiring paths.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this inverter power sensitive electronics like laptops?
Yes, its modified sine wave output works well with most laptops, chargers, and TVs. For ultra-sensitive devices, consider pairing with a pure sine wave if needed, but this handles 90% of consumer gear reliably.
How long will it run my devices on a single battery?
Runtime depends on load and battery capacity. A 100Ah battery might power a 200W load for about 4-5 hours accounting for efficiency. Use an amp-hour calculator for precise estimates.
Is it safe for marine or RV use?
Absolutely—UL458 certified with GFCI outlets makes it ideal for wet environments like boats and RVs, providing ground fault protection.
What protections does it have against battery issues?
It features low voltage alarm (11V), cutoff (10.5V), overvoltage (15V), overload, and overtemperature shutdown to safeguard your system.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
Yes, included mounting brackets allow secure installation in tight spaces like under RV benches or truck beds.
Can I use it with solar batteries?
Perfect match for solar setups. Its wide input range works with AGM, flooded, or lithium batteries—just ensure proper fusing and cable sizing.
What's the difference between continuous and peak power?
Continuous is steady output (1000W here), peak/surge handles short bursts (2000W) for motor startups like fans or tools.
