- Page 8 10. The WHISTLER 1000 utilizes 50 amps of battery power to operate an appliance with a 500 watt continuous load requirement. (500 +10 50). 3. Conclusion: The reserve power of the battery is sufficient to satisfy the continuous load demand placed on the inverter for a maximum of about one hour.
- Page 9 This multiple parallel battery option is especially recommended for the WHISTLER 2500 due to the high level of amps this model re- quires to produce 2500 watts of continuous load. Wire Cable Gauges.
