Routine Maintenance
Duracell unit
Minimal maintenance is required to keep your Duracell operating
properly. Periodically you should:
• Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth to prevent the
accumulation of dust and dirt.
• Ensure that the DC cables are secure and fasteners are tight.
• Make sure the ventilation openings on the DC panel and bottom of
the inverter are not clogged.
Batteries
When possible, recharge your batteries when they are about 50%
discharged or earlier, see “Battery State of Charge” on page B–8. This
gives the batteries a much longer life cycle than recharging when they are
almost completely discharged. For more information on maintaining
batteries, see “Battery Tips” on page B–7.
