Locate the inverter/charger away from battery in a
separate well ventilated compartment. Do not
install the inverter/charger in any compartment
containing flammable gases or liquids like gasoline.

installed in the battery compartment due to the
possible presence of explosive hydrogen gas from
the batteries.

batteries—gases from battery will corrode and
and gases
damage the inverter/charger. If the inverter/charger
is installed in a compartment above the batteries,
make sure there is a solid, gas-impermeable wall
dividing the two compartments.
However, flooded or wet cell batteries produce
flammable gases that can potentially be ignited and
therefore a safety hazard. If the batteries are sealed
(no caps to add water), then the
can be mounted above the batteries if so desired (a
position outlined in this guide).
Never allow battery acid to drip on the inverter/
charger or its wiring when filling the batteries or
reading their specific gravity.
Orientation
To meet regulatory requirements, the
must be mounted in one of the approved
mounting orientations. See Figure 6 on page 2
