Welcome Please read this manual thoroughly before installing and operating your ® new Energizer Power Inverter. This manual contains information you need to obtain the performance required for your application. Keep this manual for future reference. ® This Energizer Inverter converts low voltage, direct current (DC) to 110 volt modified sine wave (MSW) alternating current (AC).
WARNINGS: INVERTER OUTPUT This is a heavy-duty device that produces voltages similar to commercial AC power. • Danger of shock or electrocution - treat inverter output the same as commercial AC power. • Do not use the inverter near flammable materials or in any locations that may accumulate flammable fumes or gases. This is an electrical device that can briefly spark when electrical connections are made or broken. • Do not allow water or other liquids to contact the inverter.
• • • • • • • • appliance. If the appliance label states that the charger or adapter produces a low-voltage DC or AC output (30 volts or less), there will be no problem powering that charger or adapter. Some fans with synchronous motors may slightly increase in speed (RPM) when powered by the inverter. This is not harmful to the fan or to the inverter. Route appliance cords and extension cords to prevent accidental pinching, crushing, abrading and tripping people.
Multiply: AC AMPS X 110 (AC voltage) = WATTS This formula yields a close approximation of the continuous load of your appliance. Multiply: WATTS X 2 = Starting Load for most appliances This formula yields a close approximation of the starting load of most appliances. Exceptions are motorized appliances such as pumps, freezers and air conditioners. These appliances can have startup loads of up to eight times the rated watts.

Sizing the Battery Bank To determine the minimum battery bank ampere-hour rating that you will need to operate appliances from the inverter, and any DC appliances powered by the battery bank, follow these steps: 1. List the maximum wattage that the inverter has to provide (as above). 2. Estimate the number of hours the appliances will be in use between battery recharges. This will differ depending on appliances.
Note: The type of batteries you use to power your high power inverter is important. Operating a high-power inverter will routinely discharge batteries and they will require frequent recharging. Batteries used to start engines are not designed to repeatedly charge and discharge. ® Energizer recommends using “deep-cycle” or “marine” rated batteries. Cable Gauges When connecting the inverter to a battery bank use the thickest stranded insulated copper wire available, in the shortest length practical.
• • • Making the connection to the Positive terminal may cause a spark as a result of current flowing to charge capacitors within the inverter. This is a normal occurrence. Because of the possibility of sparking, however, it is extremely important that both the inverter and the 12 volt battery be positioned far from any possible source of flammable fumes or gases. Failure to heed this warning could result in fire or explosion.

Insulate the end of cable to be connected to the Pos (+) Inverter terminal. Connect the fused cable to the battery bank Pos (+) terminal. Connect the Pos cable end to the Pos (+) inverter terminal. NOTE: Sparking is normal for the first connection. Make sure you have good secure connections – Do not over-tighten.
power source by running an extension cord from the inverter to the television set. 4. Coil the television power cord and the input cables running from the 12 volt power source to the inverter. 5. Attach a "Ferrite Data Line Filter" to the television power cord. More than one filter may be required. These filters are available at most electronic supply stores. Note: Some inexpensive audio systems may produce a slight "buzzing" sound when operated with the inverter.
Best use of Battery Power Make sure any appliances are energy efficient and turned off after use. Use Compact Florescent Lamps. Wherever possible, charge with Solar Panels or Wind Generators. Do not allow lead acid batteries to remain discharged for long periods of time, they lose capacity (amp hours). Disposal / Recycling of Inverter / California Proposition 65 Electronic products are known to contain materials that are toxic if improperly disposed.
PROBLEM: Low Battery Alarm on all the Time Reason Input voltage below 10.5 Volts. Will be indicated on LCD panel. Poor or weak battery condition. Inadequate power being delivered to the inverter or excessive voltage drop. Solution Keep input voltage above 10.5 Volts to maintain regulation. Recharge or replace battery. Use lower gauge (heavier) cable. Keep cable length as short as possible. PROBLEM: TV does not Work Reason TV does not turn on.
