Used as an Alternative Power Supply for Vehicles
Your CS2000 is an essential tool for all who replace automobile batteries.
Most vehicles have electronic components with memory, such as alarm systems,
computers, radios, phones, etc. and when the vehicle’s battery is replaced, the memory
is lost. However, if the power extension cord is plugged from the CS2000 to the 12 Volt
outlet on the vehicle, the memories can be saved.
Note:
To use the CS2000 for this purpose, the chosen outlet must be live when the
vehicle is turned OFF. On some vehicles, 12 Volt outlets are deactivated when the
vehicle is turned OFF.
Used as a Multipurpose Power Supply
Your CS2000 is also a portable power source for 12VDC accessories equipped with a
male 12 Volt plug. The DC outlet on the CS2000 has automatic overload protection.
When your CS2000 is used with a DC to AC power inverter, it can operate appliances
normally powered by 120VAC or 220VAC. Recommended inverter for the portable
power source is 300 watts maximum. For more information, contact your nearest
CS2000 dealer.
