When you have confirmed that the appliance to be operated is turned off, plug the
appliance into one of the AC Outlets on the front panel of the inverter.
Turn the inverter on.
Note: If an extension cord is used from the inverter to an appliance, limit the extension cord
length to 50 feet or less. Make sure that the cord is properly rated to carry the appliance
load. Extension cords are not to be used as permanent wiring. Instead, use High Output
Terminals and NEC compliant wiring, outlets and installation techniques.

It is not the purpose of this Inverter User’s Guide to provide detailed information regarding
battery charging systems. However, the user should try to supplement any charging system
with either wind or solar power. These can continue to operate during power outages and
they also reduce recharge time. If automatic AC powered battery chargers do not provide
enough charging current for a larger battery bank, is permissible to have two automatic
battery chargers connected to the same battery bank.

If an inverter system is used during commercial power outages that occur daily, configure
the charging system to replace energy during the time that commercial power is available.
Replacement of battery energy always requires more than was taken from the battery
(typically 30 percent). In the example used earlier in this document, the AC load ran for 0
hours. If commercial power is available, there are approximately 4 hours left in the day to
do the recharging. The following is an example of what is necessary to recharge a battery
bank that has 6,500 AH of capacity (as in the example above) and has been discharged to
0.5 volts (discharged). The charger has to replace 245 AH (650 × .3 AH) in 4 hours.
So the charger must charge at a rate of 53 amps for 4 hours. As this charge current is
distributed among the batteries in the battery bank, the current received by an individual
battery is within its charge rating. Be sure that the battery is well vented as the area will
likely have accumulations of an explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. Follow all
recommendations for use that are contained in the battery charger manual.
WARNING: THERE IS DANGER OF EXPLOSION. DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT
CHARGER CABLES DIRECTLY AFTER BATTERY DISCHARGE OR RECHARGE—MAKE SURE THAT
THE BATTERY BANK AREA IS WELL VENTED BEFORE ATTACHING OR REMOVING CABLES.
If flooded lead acid batteries are used, as examples given in this document, be sure that
periodic checks of battery electrolyte levels are accomplished. Follow battery manufacturer’s
instructions in keeping the electrolytes at the proper level. Be sure to use pure distilled water
when replacing evaporated electrolyte liquid.
