Independent Power System
Your Freedom HW has been designed to be the heart of a sophisticated,
independent power system. While the Freedom HW is an extremely
“friendly” product to operate, Xantrex wants to ensure that you get the
best performance from your system.
Inverting Freedom HW produces 120 Vac from your 12V batteries and is capable
of starting heavy loads like refrigerators and pumps.
When the Freedom HW is inverting (producing 120 Vac output) without a
load, it draws less than 1A of current from the battery (or battery bank).
This feature allows the unit to operate without draining too much stored
energy.
Charging For the inverter to perform effectively, the batteries must be charged
correctly. The unit has a built-in three-stage charging system that extends
the life and optimizes the performance of the batteries.
In addition to the numerous features which let you maximize your
battery’s life and performance, the Freedom HW—unlike many
chargers—also has the ability to recharge batteries even if the voltage is
near zero (sometimes called dead battery charging).
