7.3
ALTERNATE DC RECHARGE
If the Inverter is removed from the main unit, the DC recharge cable can be directly connected to the black power
connector that mates with the inverter
*
s flat power pins. In this way, the inverter and inverter power cable can be
used away from the main unit and DC recharge can be accomplished. Follow the same charging time and monitor
the battery charging by using the battery status pushbutton and display.
7.4 SIMULTANEOUS DC RECHARGE AND INVERTER OPERATION
Connecting the inverter power cable and the DC recharge cable makes a heavy-duty DC-to-DC cable that can
simultaneously recharge the main unit and operate the Inverter while
it
is mounted on Power City. Plug one DC
plug into Power City accessory outlet and the other DC plug into a vehicle accessory outlet. When using with AC
appliances that draws over 120 watts and at the same time the Power City’s battery is deeply discharged, this could
draw more than the vehicle’s accessory outlet fuse can handle and result in a blown fuse. Use this method with
caution. Periodically monitor DC recharge using the battery status pushbutton and indicators.
