Page 8: Getting Started
GETTING STARTED This section provides you with the basic information about the inverter and a few tips before installation. To get started, you will need: 1. A 12 Volt DC battery (i.e. vehicle battery. In order to understand how much current your battery must deliver, divide the number of Watts from your AC appliance or device by 10. -
Page 9: Mounting The Inverter
Multiply: AC AMPS X 110 (AC Voltage) = WATTS. This formula yields a close approximation of the continuous load of your appliance. Multiply: WATTS X 2 = Starting load for most appliances, tools and devices. This formula yields a close approximation of the starting load for most appliances. -
