RECOMMENDED BATTERY CONFIGURATION FOR HEAVY-
DUTY APPLICATION
Heavy-duty alternators rated above 120 Amps should be used and
they are available from RV, marine or auto parts suppliers. These
alternators are designed to directly replace standard alternators but
produce the higher current and voltage required to charge multiple
battery systems.
An isolator is used to separate the vehicle’s system batteries and the
auxiliary batteries.
We recommend using the same deep cycle type of batteries in the
battery banks.
Notes
The above system should be installed properly. You need to contact the
RV or auto experts for some instructions.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
Do not open the case of the inverter. The high voltage inside the unit is the
same type of power as your electrical outlets at home.
Do not let the cord of the inverter or any appliance’s cord get wet.
Do not operate the inverter in or around water. The voltage of the unit
makes electrical shock hazard if operated in wet conditions.
Do not connect the AC inverter directly to another AC power source.
Keep it away from children, the inverter produces power just like your AC
wall outlets at home and should be treated seriously.
Allow at least 2 inch of clearance around the inverter for airflow.
If you operate the inverter in a moving vehicle, you need to secure the
inverter to prevent it from shifting around while the vehicle is moving.
If there is anything wrong with the inverter, disconnect all of the power.
