Inverter Safety Instructions
WARNING: Customer must match battery type with charger battery type.
WARNING: Power inverters produce hazardous voltages. To avoid risk of harm or fire, the unit must be
properly installed.
WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside. Do not remove the cover.
WARNING: Power inverters should not be mounted in a location that may be exposed to rain, spray, salt, or
corrosive chemicals.
WARNING: Power inverters should not be installed in a zero-clearance enclosure.
WARNING: Damage to the power inverter will occur if correct polarity is not observed when installing the
inverter's DC input cables.
WARNING: Damage to the power inverter will occur if an external AC power source is applied to the inverter's
AC hardwire output.
WARNING: Power inverters contain a circuit breaker and capacitor that may produce a spark upon connection
or during normal operation. Do not mount in a confined battery or gas compartment where toxic fuel vapor is
present.
WARNING: Be sure that the power inverter is turned off and AC power is disconnected when batteries are
being connected, disconnected, serviced, and replaced or personal injury and/or damage to the inverter could
result.
WARNING: Working near lead-acid batteries is dangerous. There is a risk of acid exposure.
Battery Safety Instructions
WARNING: Batteries may vent explosive gases during operation.
WARNING: There is risk of high current discharge from shorting a battery that can cause fire and explosion.
Use insulated tools during installation.
WARNING: Remove all rings, watches, jewelry, or other conductive items before working near the batteries.
WARNING: Inspect the batteries at least once a year for cracks, leaks, or swelling. Follow the scheduled
maintenance procedures from the battery manufacturer.
WARNING: Dispose of the batteries according to local regulations. Do not incinerate batteries; there is risk of
explosion.
WARNING: A fuse must be installed between the battery and the inverter to protect against shorted cables.
WARNING: If multiple LFP batteries are connected in parallel, the maximum charger current shall not exceed
the maximum rated charge current of a single battery. This is to prevent overcharging into one battery if
any other battery disconnects during charging. Failure to limit the charge current may result in the battery
disconnecting due to overcurrent and/or may damage the battery.
WARNING: Only use LFP batteries that utilize a BMS that shuts down the battery due to over-current, high
temperature, and cold temperature.
WARNING: The converter/inverter is intended to recharge batteries. The battery that is connected to this
product is only suitable if it complies with the given battery standard for that battery type and is provided with
a battery management system that will monitor and control the electrical and thermal health of the battery
during charging. When installing this converter/inverter, the battery is to be verified as in compliance with the
applicable battery standard.
