Another feature of the control panel is a key start. Unlike other generators, the DuroMax XP8500E uses a metal type key switch so you can prevent unwanted users from starting and operating your generator.

XP8500E Specifications

The DuroMax XP8500E is capable of 8,500 peak watts and 7,000 running watts. Power is delivered through four NEMA 5-20 120V 20A GFCI protected outlets. Or, you can power larger devices and appliances such as a whole home or a camper through the NEMA L14-30 twist lock outlet, which is capable of 240V at 30A.

You can even charge 12V batteries with the onboard 12V DC studs. In addition, a set of DC charging cables are included with the generators that allow you to connect a battery straight to the generator for charging external batteries.

All that power comes requires fuel to generate, and a 7.9 gallon fuel tank ensures extended run time. The large fuel tank can provide up to 10 hours of runtime on a single tank. DuroMax's MX2 switch gives you the ultimate control over your power by enabling you to select between doubled 120V power or a mix of 120V and 240V output.

An onboard breaker protects the generator and your devices from short circuits and overloads. Each GFCI outlet is also individually protected with 20A breakers as well. In addition, the generator features a built in surge arrestor to prevent damage to sensitive electronics and appliances. An automatic voltage regulator also controls the power output to ensure a steady flow of power which also helps prevent surges and spikes that could damage devices.

All DuroMax portable generators carry a three year warranty to ensure their products are free from defects. However, the DuroMax XP8500E's rugged metal construction and steel sleeved cylinder will provide long-term reliability and satisfaction.
