In the event of an overload, low battery voltage or

overheating, the

EN120 /EN 180 a

utomatically

shuts down.

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, USB load, or

combination of both. With a typical vehicle battery

and a 80W load, an operating time of 4 to 5 hours or

more can be expected.
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 EN120/180 can operate while the

CAUTION

Although the

EN120/180

incorporates

protection against over-voltage, it may still be

damaged if the input voltage exceeds 16 V.

engine is running, but the normal voltage drop that 

occurs during starting of the engine may trigger the 

inverter’s low voltage shutdown feature.
