BATTERY
OPERATING
TIME
The
operating time of battery will
vary
depending on the charge level
of
the battery, its capacity and the
power level drawn by the particular AC load.
The vehicle batteries are not intended for constant deep discharge, they are designed to provide brief
periods of
very
high current needed for engine starting. It is strongly recommended
to
start
the vehicle
every hour
or
two to recharge battery before its capacity drops too low. Operating the inverter from a
vehicle battery until the low voltage alarm sounds
will shorten the battery's life.
The inverter can operate whether
or
not the vehicle's engine is running, but the normal voltage drop that
occurs during starting may trigger the inverter's low voltage shutdown feature.
The use of a deep discharge battery is strongly advised for longer operating times. Its capacity should be
selected based on the desired operating time.
