Charging the Battery Bank

It is not the purpose of this inverter user’s guide to provide detailed information

regarding battery charging systems. However, the user should try to augment

any stationary inverter charging system with either wind power or solar

power. These can continue to operate during power outages and they also

reduce recharge time. For mobile or marine charging systems, a higher rated

alternator may be necessary to charge a battery bank.

Regular Loss of Commercial Power

If the inverter system is used during commercial power outages that occur

daily, conﬁgure the charger system to replace energy during the time that

commercial power is available.

Replacement of battery energy always requires more than was taken from

the battery (typically 30 percent more). Follow battery manufacturer’s

recommendations for maximum charging current.

Warning:

There is danger of explosion. do noT connecT or disconnecT

charger cables direcTly afTer baTTery discharge or recharge–make

sure ThaT The baTTery bank area is Well venTed before aTTaching or

removing cables.

If the ﬂooded lead acid batteries are used, be sure that periodic checks of

battery electrolyte levels are accomplished. Follow battery manufacturer’s

instructions in keeping the electrolytes at the proper level. Be sure to use pure

distilled water when replacing evaporated electrolyte liquid.

Operating Issues

(Television and Audio Equipment Suggestions.)

Although all inverters are shielded and ﬁltered to minimize signal interference,

some interference with your television picture may be unavoidable, especially

with weak signals. However, here are some suggestions that may improve

reception.

• Make sure that the television antenna produces a clear signal under

normal operating conditions (i.e. at home plugged into a standard

110/115V AC wall outlet). Also ensure that the antenna cable is properly

shielded and of good quality.

• Sometimes vehicle alternators produce some electrical noise. There are

ﬁlters available to mount on the alternator to reduce noise.

• Change the positions of the inverter, antenna cables and television

power cord.

• Isolate the television, its power cord and antenna cables from the 12

volt power source by running an extension cord from the inverter to the

television set.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM: Low or No Output Voltage – Fault LED Lit

Reason Solution

Poor contact with battery or inverter

terminals.

Clean terminals thoroughly. Reinstall

and tighten.

PROBLEM: Inverter is Shut Down – Fault LED Lit

Reason Solution

Battery voltage below 10 Volts Charge or replace battery.

Inverter is too hot (thermal shut down

mode).

• Allow inverter to cool.

• Check for adequate ventilation.

• Reduce the load on the inverter to

rated continuous power output.

Unit may be defective. See warranty and call customer

service.
