Power Source - Nature Power 37800 User Manual

Your average automobile battery at full charge will provide an ample power supply to
the inverter when the engine is on.
Keep the car running at all times when using the inverter. The actual length of
time the inverter will function depends on the age and condition of the battery and the
power demand being placed by the device being operated with the inverter.
When possible, recharge your batteries when they are not more than 50% discharged.
This gives the batteries a much longer life cycle than recharging when they are more
deeply discharged.
The power inverter has a battery low voltage shutdown at 9.2-9.8VDC. With moderate
to heavy loads, this will protect against over-discharging the battery. If the inverter is
running only light loads it is advisable to recharge before the inverter low voltage
shutdown point is reached.
IMPORTANT: The inverter draws low amperage from the battery with the main ON/OFF
switch turned on and no load connected. To prevent battery discharge, turn the inverter off
when you are not using it.
Make sure to connect your inverter only to a 12 volt power supply. To avoid electrical
shock, it is necessary to ground the inverter as well as the device powering it. The inverter
should be grounded
NOTE: Do not turn on the inverter or the power source until the inverter and the power
source are grounded.
Vehicle: Connect to the chassis, unpainted frame part, or engine block of the vehicle.
Fixed location: Connect to a ground rod or other appropriately rated ground.
