  • Page 7: Battery Selection

    Select a battery or system of batteries that will provide your Inverter/Charger with proper DC voltage and an adequate amp-hour capacity to power your application. Even though Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers are highly-efficient at DC-to-AC inversion, their rated output capacities are limited by the total amp-hour capacity of connected batteries.

  • Page 8: Mounting

    Inverter/Charger and connected systems. Tripp Lite manufactures a variety of different Inverter/Chargers with a variety of different mounting options for use in vehicular or non-vehicular applications. Tripp Lite recommends permanent mounting of your Inverter/Charger in any of the configurations illustrated below.

    • Efficiency: 88% to 94% depending on load and temperature Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers include a Battery Charge Conserver (Load Sense) Control which saves battery power by allowing users to set the minimum load level at which the unit’s inverter turns on. Users can significantly reduce the No Load DC Input Current (approximately 1 A to 3 A for all models) to a very low amp level with the use of this control.
