Series Inverter/ Chargers have a programmable Low DC Input Voltage Shutdown that can be set to
specific operating conditions using programming parameter "BATT LOW VOLTAGE".
(See Table 6.2 under
Section 6.4.1 and Section 4.4.2.9 of Owner's Manual for Remote Control Model EVO-RC-PLUS)
1.4.15 DEPTH OF DISCHARGE OF BATTERY AND BATTERY LIFE
The more deeply a battery is discharged on each cycle, the shorter the battery life. Using more batteries than the
minimum required will result in longer life for the battery bank. A typical cycle life chart is given in the Table 1.4.6:

1.4.17 SIZING THE INVERTER BATTERY BANK
One of the most frequently asked questions is, “how long will the batteries last?” This question cannot be answered
without knowing the size of the battery system and the load on the inverter. Usually this question is turned around to
ask “How long do you want your load to run?”, and then specific calculation can be done to determine the proper
battery bank size. There are a few basic formulae and estimation rules that are used:
1. Active Power in Watts (W) = Voltage in Volts (V) x Current in Amperes (A) x Power Factor
2. For an inverter running from a 48V battery bank, the approximate DC current required from the 48V batteries is
the AC power delivered by the inverter to the load in Watts (W) divided by 40.
3. Energy required from the battery = DC current to be delivered (A) x Time in Hours (H).
The first step is to estimate the total AC watts (W) of load(s) and for how long the load(s) will operate in hours (H).
The AC watts are normally indicated in the electrical nameplate for each appliance or equipment. In case AC watts
(W) are not indicated, Formula 1 given may be used to calculate the AC watts. The next step is to estimate the DC
current in Amperes (A) from the AC watts as per Formula 2. An example of this calculation for a 48V inverter is
given below:
Let us say that the total AC Watts delivered by 48V inverter = 1000W.
Then, using Formula 2, the approximate DC current to be delivered by the 48V battery bank = 1000W ÷ 40 = 25
Amperes.
