Charging From AC Power
When recharging from AC power, use a good quality battery charger or
RV converter that meets the requirements outlined in “Charging System
Requirements” on page C–1.
For information about Xantrex’s battery chargers, visit our web site at
www.xantrex.com.
Do not use chargers intended for occasional recharging of automotive
starting batteries. These chargers are not intended for continuous use.
Charging From Alternative Energy Sources
You can also charge your batteries from alternative energy sources such
as solar panels, wind, or hydro systems. Make sure you use the
appropriate battery charge controller for your particular energy source.
CAUTION
Never operate the XM 1800 directly from an energy source such as a solar panel.
Unregulated solar panels can output over 16 volts, which will damage the XM
1800 inverter. The inverter must be connected to a battery or a well-regulated,
high-current DC power supply to work properly.
