a) Battery Operating Time
Operating time will vary depending on the charge level of the battery, its capacity and the power level drawn
by the particular AC load. Below is a list of common appliances and their estimated consumption:

When using a vehicle battery as a power source, it is strongly recommended to start the vehicle every hour or
two to recharge the battery before its capacity drops too low. The inverter can operate while the engine is running,

Generally, most AC products operate with the inverter just as they would with household AC power. Below is
information concerning two possible exceptions:
1) Buzzing and in audio systems and radios
