BEWARE OF CARBON MONOXIDE FROM GENERATOR USEThis is truly a sad event. Most people are trying to keep their freezers frozen and watch the latest storm information on TV. Unfortunately a by product of running generators is carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is an odorless tasteless gas that can kill quickly. Fortunately Xantrex has come out with a power product carried at www.4lots.com. The xPower 1500 is a safe efficient portable power unit. It can be run indoors to provide up to 1500 watts of power. The unit is designed to be charged and rolled out when needed. The beauty behind the xPower 1500 is it ability to be charged in your house, in your car, or even by a solar panel. The xPower 1500 will run a 13” color TV for eight hours. It won’t run you household Air Conditioner, but it may help keep your freezer frozen. The xPower 1500 is also a quiet unit, almost silent when running. It includes battery indicator lights and 2 - 110 volt outlets. For added power it has a 12 volt accessory plug that can be used to charge your cell phone using a car charger. There are also two post on the back of the xPower 1500 to allow jumper cables to connect to an additional battery to increase run times. Since the unit is on wheels and is really easy to move there is no reason not to have an xPower 1500 in your Hurricane preparedness kit. After going through several Hurricanes in New Orleans including Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Juan, Tropical Storm Isidore, Hurricane Lilli, Hurricane Georges, and Tropical Storm Allison I know how important being prepared is. My xPower 1500 is in the closet fully charged waiting to be pulled out in an emergency. I think every house in Hurricane prone areas should have an xPower 1500. Insure your safety and avoid carbon monoxide poisonings, power up with an xPower 1500 instead of a generator.
