Battery Connection - Tripp Lite PINV300SW-120 Owner's Manual

Battery Connection

WARNING!
Make sure the inverter power switch is in the OFF position,
connect with included DC Wiring to the positive and negative
terminals. Though your Inverter is a high-efficiency converter of
electricity, its rated output capacity is limited by the length and
gauge of the cabling running from the battery to the unit. Use
the included cabling or the shortest length and largest diameter
cabling (recommended 5 AWG 16.77 mm²) with ring terminals
to fit your Inverter's DC Input terminals. Shorter and heavier
gauge cabling reduces DC voltage drop and allows for maximum
transfer of current. Your Inverter is capable of delivering peak
wattage at up to 200% of its rated continuous wattage output
for brief periods of time. Heavier gauge cabling should be used
when continuously operating heavy-draw equipment under these
conditions.
