User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment

the battery bank’s positive terminal. The fuse amperage rating must be sized to

allow simultaneous operation of all the AC appliances to be powered, plus 20

percent safety factor. Fuses are very important to protect equipment, batteries,

and personnel. The fuses protect against battery explosion if the cables that

connect to the inverter accidentally short.

BATTERY BANK DIAGRAM

The diagram below shows inverter connections to a battery bank with

recommended fuse protection.

WARNING—EXPLODING BATTERIES!!

Exploding batteries can spray molten lead, hot sulfuric acid, and other

metal, and plastic fragments. Batteries that are charging or under high

discharge rates produce explosive hydrogen gas into the surrounding

area. Be safe–fuse the battery bank and make sure the batteries are

properly ventilated.
