Excel Power XL3500i-DF | 3.2kW Dual-Fuel Inverter Generator | Petrol & LPG | Pure Sine Wave
The Excel Power XL3500i-DF is a compact suitcase-style dual-fuel inverter generator designed to provide clean, quiet and flexible portable power using either petrol or LPG.
Delivering up to 3200W maximum output and 3000W rated continuous power, the XL3500i-DF combines true sine wave inverter technology, Eco mode, parallel capability and a highly portable enclosed design.
With a weight of just 26.8kg, an integrated handle, rear transport wheels and compact dimensions, it is particularly well suited to domestic backup, leisure, motorhome, caravan and mobile applications where both portability and clean electrical output are important.
3.2kW Maximum Power Output
The Excel Power XL3500i-DF delivers:
- 3200W maximum output
- 3000W rated continuous output
- 230V AC output
- True sine wave inverter power
This provides useful capacity for a broad range of electrical equipment while retaining the clean output characteristics of a modern inverter generator.
Always check the starting and continuous power requirements of connected equipment before use.
Dual-Fuel Petrol & LPG Operation
The XL3500i-DF can operate using either:
- Petrol
- LPG
This gives users greater flexibility when selecting a fuel source and can be particularly useful for caravanning, motorhomes, domestic backup and situations where LPG is already readily available.
The generator is shown with a dedicated LPG connection point, and the product information states that it is supplied with an LPG hose and regulator.
True Sine Wave Inverter Technology
The XL3500i-DF uses inverter technology to provide clean true sine wave electricity.
This makes the generator suitable for conventional appliances as well as many sensitive electronic devices.
Typical equipment can include:
- Laptops
- Televisions
- Battery chargers
- Mobile devices
- Electronic control equipment
- Office equipment
- Domestic appliances
- Leisure electronics
This combination of dual-fuel capability and clean inverter power makes the XL3500i-DF particularly versatile.
Quiet 59dB(A) Eco Mode Operation
The XL3500i-DF has a quoted operating noise level of approximately:
59dB(A) at 7 metres in Eco mode
The enclosed suitcase-style casing helps reduce operating noise compared with many traditional open-frame generators.
This makes the unit particularly attractive for:
- Camping
- Caravanning
- Motorhomes
- Residential backup
- Outdoor events
- Mobile working
Actual sound levels will vary depending on electrical load and operating conditions.
Eco Mode
The control panel includes an Eco Switch / low-idle mode.
When full power is not required, Eco mode can reduce engine speed to help:
- Lower operating noise
- Reduce fuel consumption
- Improve efficiency
- Extend running periods
Parallel Generator Capability
The XL3500i-DF includes dedicated parallel connection ports.
This allows two compatible generator units to be connected together where additional power is required.
Parallel capability gives users the flexibility to use one generator for normal loads and add another compatible unit when greater electrical capacity is needed.
Appropriate manufacturer-approved parallel equipment should always be used.
230V 13A UK Socket
The control panel includes:
1 x 13A 230V UK socket
This allows compatible UK electrical appliances and equipment to be connected directly to the generator.
230V 16A Industrial Socket
The generator is also fitted with:
1 x 16A 230V industrial socket
The product information indicates that this outlet is supplied with a UK adapter, providing additional flexibility for domestic, leisure and trade applications.
USB Charging Output
The XL3500i-DF incorporates a 5V DC USB socket.
This provides a convenient direct charging option for compatible portable electronic devices.
12V DC Output
A dedicated 12V DC socket is also provided for compatible low-voltage applications.
Digital Information Centre
The generator features an integrated information centre displaying key operating information including:
- Voltage
- Frequency
- Operating hours
The hour meter is particularly useful for tracking servicing and maintenance intervals.
Fuel Tap & Choke
An integrated fuel tap with choke control provides straightforward petrol fuel management and assists with engine starting.
Dedicated LPG Connection Point
A separate LPG connection point is incorporated into the control panel.
This provides a clearly defined connection for LPG operation and allows the generator to be switched between fuel sources when used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Earth Connection
A dedicated earth connection point is provided on the control panel.
Earthing requirements vary according to application and installation, so appropriate electrical guidance should always be followed.
Compact 26.8kg Design
The Excel Power XL3500i-DF weighs approximately:
26.8kg
Its overall dimensions are approximately:
- 500mm long
- 300mm wide
- 500mm high
This gives the generator a compact footprint while still delivering up to 3.2kW maximum output.
Portable Suitcase Design
The XL3500i-DF uses an enclosed suitcase-style design with an integrated carrying handle.
The product information also indicates easy positioning through the use of rear wheels, making the generator easier to move around than a conventional open-frame unit of similar output.
This enclosed construction provides several benefits:
- Easier transportation
- Improved storage
- Reduced operating noise
- Better protection of internal components
- Cleaner overall appearance
Euro V Petrol Engine
The XL3500i-DF uses a Euro V compliant petrol engine, helping meet modern emissions requirements.
Combined with inverter technology and Eco mode, this provides a modern and efficient portable power solution.
