12V Battery Bank

Fuse

⚠ WARNING—Exploding Batteries!!

Exploding batteries can spray molten lead, hot sulfuric acid, and other metal and

plastic fragments. Batteries that are charging or under high discharge rates pro-

duce explosive hydrogen gas into the surrounding area. Be safe–fuse the battery

bank and make sure the batteries are properly ventilated.

DC CABLE GAUGE

Minimize cable losses by using the thickest wire available and the shortest practical length.

Measure Round Trip (RT) cable distances in feet. Round Trip cable distance is battery to inverter

and back to battery. If the application is in a vehicle with engine operating, use the supplied

cables for round trip distances up to 5 feet.

Use a recommended ANL fuse and Fuse holder. Fuse at 125 to 150 Amps. ANL are quick acting

and sealed so they do not spark when they blow. Place fuse no more than one foot from the Posi-

tive (+) terminal of the battery.

RT Length Up to 2 Ft 3-4 Ft 5-6 Ft 7-9 Ft 14-16 Ft

AWG 6 4 2 0 0

If the inverter and the battery are positioned within four feet of each other, a minimum of 7AWG

insulated copper wire should be used to make the connections. If the distance is longer than 32

inches (2.6 ft), heavier wire will be required.

CONNECTING THE INVERTER

Loose connections will result in a severe voltage drop that can cause damage to connectors, con-

ductors, and insulation and can cause sparking. Reverse polarity connection will blow the fuses in
