Inverter loads
29
• Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand
tools. These affected chargers display a warning label
stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery
terminals.
If you are unsure about powering any load with the HI400,
contact the appliance manufacturer.
Turning the inverter off between charges
When the power switch is on but no power is being supplied
to a load, the inverter idles and draws less than 400 mΑ from
the battery.
Because of this current draw, the battery may need to be
recharged after a few days. If you are not using your inverter,
turn it off.
Battery charging frequency
When possible, recharge your batteries when they are about
50% discharged or before. This gives them a much longer life
cycle than recharging when they are almost completely
discharged. For more information about battery chargers, see
