Xantrex PowerHub 1800 Inverter/Charger Backup Power Station
Description
The Xantrex PowerHub 1800 is a versatile inverter/charger system capable of delivering up to 1800 watts of clean household power, making it one of the most capable and flexible backup power solutions available. It is the first backup power unit of its kind to accept both solar and wind inputs, allowing renewable energy sources to sustain its battery charge indefinitely. Whether you need reliable backup power for a grid-connected home during outages or a primary power source for an off-grid cabin or cottage, the PowerHub 1800 is built for both roles.
Designed for indoor use, it produces no fuel, fumes, or noise - making it a truly practical alternative to a traditional generator. The system is scalable up to 400 amp-hours of energy storage, so you can expand your setup as your power needs grow. A full-feature LED display and integrated transfer switch make monitoring and managing the system straightforward from day one.
Key Features

FAQ
Does the PowerHub 1800 include batteries?
No, batteries are sold separately. The unit includes a single battery box capable of holding up to 200 amp-hours of battery capacity. You can add a second battery box (also sold separately) to double the capacity to 400 amp-hours. Be sure to purchase compatible batteries for your setup.
Can the PowerHub 1800 run on solar power?
Yes - the PowerHub 1800 is one of the first backup power systems designed to accept both solar and wind inputs to keep the battery charged. This makes it an excellent choice for off-grid cabins, cottages, or anyone who wants to reduce reliance on grid power or fossil fuels.
What kinds of appliances can the PowerHub 1800 power?
The PowerHub 1800 can handle a wide range of common household loads. Based on its runtime estimates with a fully charged 200Ah battery: a laptop runs about 22 hours, a 20" LCD TV about 3 hours 20 minutes, an 18 cu. ft. refrigerator about 15 hours, a sump pump about 4.5 hours, and a microwave about 1 hour 43 minutes. It is best suited for essentials during outages rather than high-draw items like electric heaters or central AC.
Is the PowerHub 1800 safe to use indoors?
Yes - unlike a gas generator, the PowerHub 1800 produces no exhaust fumes, no fuel combustion, and no engine noise. It is specifically designed for safe indoor use, making it ideal for basements, garages, and living spaces where generator use would be dangerous.
How quickly does it switch to battery power during an outage?
The integrated automatic transfer switch activates in under 40 milliseconds. This is fast enough that most electronics and appliances will not notice the transition, providing seamless backup power the moment the grid goes down.
Does assembly or installation require a professional?
Basic setup - connecting batteries and plugging appliances into the four AC outlets - is straightforward and can be done by most users. However, if you plan to use the hardwire terminal block for permanent installation or connect it to your home's electrical system, it is recommended to hire a licensed electrician to ensure code compliance and safe installation.
