VOLTA V-385 Instruction Manual Download Page 6

Instead of using the built-in battery, an external power cable (sold separately) can be used to 

power the inverter with an external battery (11-15V). As some external batteries have larger 

capacities, the inverter can work longer than that in using the built-in battery. You can purchase 

external batteries with different capacities based on your requirements to prolong the continuous 

service time of the inverter.
