Connecting for loads over 150 W
To operate loads greater than 150 W continuously, you must connect the
unit directly to a 12 V battery using the DC cable clamps. When the
inverter is connected this way, you can operate loads of up to 400 W.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Batteries contain corrosive materials and present an electrical shock
hazard. To prevent irritation and burns, wear protective eyewear and
clothing when you install the inverter or work with the batteries. Take
special care to ensure that metal tools and personal metal objects like
rings and bracelets do not contact the battery terminals.
