TroubleShooting
I’ve set the Battery Type key switch, installed the Battery, switched it ON, but the LCD doesn’t light up -
what’s
​ ​
wrong?
Maybe you have attached the cables to the battery terminals “back-to-front”. Don’t worry, you haven’t
blown a fuse or done any damage as the electronics inside are fully protected for Reverse Battery
Protection.

Check:
​ ​
Red
​ ​
to
​ ​
Positive,
​ ​
Black
​ ​
to
​ ​
Negative.
Otherwise,
​ ​
the
​ ​
battery
​ ​
could
​ ​
be
​ ​
faulty,
​ ​
or
​ ​
old
​ ​
and
​ ​
dead
​ ​
flat.

type
​ ​
of
​ ​

​ ​
can

Can
​ ​
I
​ ​
install
​ ​
the
​ ​
ToughPower
​ ​
as
​ ​
a
​ ​
Dual
​ ​
Battery?
Yes you sure can - the TP-1000DUAL has been designed specifically for a Dual Battery setup! Refer to the
User
​ ​
Manual
​ ​
for
​ ​
instructions.
When
​ ​
I
​ ​
get
​ ​
home
​ ​
from
​ ​
Camping
​ ​
should
​ ​
I
​ ​
turn
​ ​
it
​ ​
OFF
​ ​
and
​ ​
put
​ ​
it
​ ​
in
​ ​
the
​ ​
cupboard,
​ ​
or
​ ​
leave
​ ​
it
​ ​
ON
​ ​
and
plugged
​ ​
into
​ ​
the
​ ​
wall
​ ​
to
​ ​
keep
​ ​
it
​ ​
charged?
When the ToughPower is not in use, firstly fully charge the battery, then switch the Master ON/OFF Switch
to OFF. Refer to your Battery manufacturer’s recommended instructions for battery storage.
​
Typically, it
is advised to never store your battery in a discharged state, to keep the battery in a cool and dry location
with
​ ​
plenty
​ ​
of
​ ​
ventilation,
​ ​
and
​ ​
to
​ ​
recharge
​ ​
every
​ ​
3-4
​ ​
months.
Can
​ ​
I
​ ​
Charge
​ ​
the
​ ​
Battery
​ ​
and
​ ​
use
​ ​
Power
​ ​
at
​ ​
the
​ ​
same
​ ​
time?
Yep
​ ​
sure
​ ​
can!
​ ​
All
​ ​
the
​ ​
charging
​ ​
electronics
​ ​
inside
​ ​
the
​ ​
Lid
​ ​
are
​ ​
fully
​ ​
protected
​ ​
with
​ ​
current
​ ​
limiting
​ ​
capability.
Can
​ ​
I
​ ​
leave
​ ​
the
​ ​
ToughPower
​ ​
outside?
No - we don’t. Whilst it
​
is made from tough rugged plastic
…
. It does have sensitive electronics inside and
water and electronics don’t mix! You wouldn’t leave your fridge, coffee pod machine or phone outside
either.

Best
​ ​
to
​ ​
put
​ ​
it
​ ​
undercover
​ ​
out
​ ​
of
​ ​
the
​ ​
weather
​ ​
and
​ ​
in
​ ​
a

well-ventilated

area.

-
​ ​
that
​ ​
will
​ ​
pull
​ ​
heaps
​ ​
of
​ ​
power,
​ ​
won’t
​ ​
that
​ ​
flatten
​ ​
the
​ ​
battery?
Yes it will! If you are going to use it every day to run high energy appliances like a camp fridge
​
and make a
few cups of coffee with your pod machine
​
and make a few slices of toast then you need a
​
plan to re-charge
the battery - every day! That is why the TP-1000DUAL model is Dual Battery Setup compatible. Simply idle
your car if you plan to run the Inverter for a long time and the Alternator will put in BULK charge! BTW -
this
​ ​
is
​ ​
a
​ ​
good
​ ​
idea
​ ​
if
​ ​
you
​ ​
need
​ ​
to
​ ​
use
​ ​
an
​ ​
Angle
​ ​
Grinder
​ ​
or
​ ​
Sabre
​ ​
Saw
​ ​
for
​ ​
the
​ ​
odd
​ ​
job!
Can
​ ​
I
​ ​
undo
​ ​
the
​ ​
screws
​ ​
and
​ ​
access
​ ​
the
​ ​
electronics
​ ​
inside
​ ​
the
​ ​
Lid?
No.
​ ​​ ​
There
​ ​
are
​ ​
sensitive
​ ​
electronics
​ ​
inside.
​ ​​ ​
If
​ ​
you
​ ​
do,
​ ​
it
​ ​
will
​ ​
void
​ ​
the
​ ​
warranty.
