Your Inverter is equipped with a simple, intuitive, user-friendly set of indicator lights. These easily-remembered "traffic
light" signals will allow you, shortly after first use, to tell at a glance the charge condition of your batteries, as well as
ascertain approximate equipment load level.
"BATTERY" Indicator Lights: These three lights will
illuminate in several sequences to show the approximate
charge level of your connected battery:
