Battery Operating Time
Operating time will vary depending on the charge level of the
battery, its capacity and the power level drawn by the particular
AC load. Below is a list of common appliances and their
estimated consumption:
When using a vehicle battery as a power source. It is strongly
recommended to start the vehicle every hour or two to recharge
the battery before its capacity drops too low. The inverter can
operate while the engine is running, but the normal voltage drop
that occurs during starting of the engine may trigger the inverter’s
low voltage shutdown feature.
