BATTERY OPERATING TIME
The operating time of battery will vary depending on the charge level of the battery, its capacity and the
power level drawn by the particular AC load. The operating time of two to three hours can be expected with
a 100 to 150 Watt load; the operating time of 1 hour or more can be expected with a 300 Watt load.
The vehicle batteries are not intended for constant deep discharge, they are designed to provide brief
periods of very high current needed for engine starting. It is strongly recommended to start the vehicle
every hour or two to recharge battery before its capacity drops too low. Operating the inverter from a
vehicle battery until the low voltage alarm sounds will shorten the battery's life.
The inverter can operate whether or not the vehicle's engine is running, but the normal voltage drop that
occurs during starting may trigger the inverter's low voltage shutdown feature.
The use of a deep discharge battery is strongly advised for longer operating times. Its capacity should be
selected based on the desired operating time.
