BATTERY INFORMATION

3. Conclusion: The reserve power of the battery is sufficient to
satisfy the continuous load demand placed on the inverter
for a maximum of about one hour. (49.8 Ah divided by
50A = 1 hour).
NOTE:
• When the inverter will be operating equipment or
appliances with high continuous load ratings for extended
periods, it is not advisable to power the inverter with the same
battery used to power your vehicle. If the car or truck battery is
utilized for an extended period, it is possible that the battery
voltage may be drained to the point where the battery has
insufficient reserve power to start the vehicle.
• It may be advisable to operate the inverter from a bank of
batteries of the same type in a “parallel” configuration. Two
such batteries will generate twice the Ah of a single battery;
three batteries will generate three times the Ah and so
on. See “Making the Connection” on page 12 for more
information.
This multiple parallel battery option is especially
recommended for the XP2000i and XP3000i inverters due to
the high level of amps these models require to produce up to
3000 watts of continuous load. For more information regarding
