Battery Connection Connect your Inverter/Charger to your batteries using the following procedures: • Connect DC Wiring: Though your Inverter/Charger is a high-efficiency converter of electricity, its rated output capacity is limited by the length and gauge of the cabling running from the battery to the unit. Use the shortest length and largest diameter cabling (maximum 2/0 gauge) to fit your Inverter/Charger’s DC Input terminals. Shorter and heavier gauge cabling reduces DC voltage drop and allo

AC Input/Output Connection To avoid overloading your Inverter/Charger, match the power requirements of the equipment you plan to run at any one time (add their total watts) with the output wattage capacity of your Inverter/Charger model (see Specifications). Do not confuse “continuous” wattage with “peak” wattage ratings. Most electric motors require extra power at start-up (“peak wattage”) than required to run continuously after start- up, sometimes over 100% more. Some motors, such as in refri
