Using the DC cable clips
By directly connecting the power inverter to a 12 V battery using the DC
cable clips (if supplied), you can operate products with power
requirements up to 360 W continuous.
1. Follow steps 1 and 2 under “Using the DC cable with cigarette lighter
plug” to attach the ring-type connectors.
2. Attach the negative (black) clip to the negative (–) battery terminal.
3. Attach the positive (red) clip to the positive (+) battery terminal.
Make sure both clips are securely connected to the battery terminals,
as a loose connection will cause the voltage to drop and may cause
the cables to overheat, resulting in equipment damage or fire.
4. Switch the power inverter “ON”.
5. When the power inverter is not in use, disconnect the DC cable clips
from the battery to prevent slight discharge of battery.
Hardwiring the inverter to the battery
A hardwiring illustration is shown in Figure 1.
