  • Page 2: Important Safety Information

    1 Introduction ® Thank you for purchasing the Energizer EN120/180 Connected to the 12 volt outlet in your vehicle, the EN120/180 efficiently and reliably powers a wide variety of loads through both the AC outlet and USB port. Read this guide before connecting or using the and save it for future reference.
  • Page 3 Warnings and Cautions housing may become EN120/EN180 uncomfortably warm, reaching 140° F (60° C) under extended high power operation. During operation, keep it away from materials that may be affected by high temperatures. EN120/EN180 Do not use the in the presence of flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or near propane tanks.
  • Page 4 CAUTION: Risk of Fire. Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating higher than recommended by the Vehicle Manufacturer. Ensure that the electrical system in your vehicle can supply this product without causing the vehicle fusing to open. Information on the vehicle fuse rating is typically found in the vehicle operator’s manual.
  • Page 5 CAUTION: Output non-sinusoidal Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries EN120/EN180 can be damaged if connected to the Do not use the inverter with the following appliances: • Small battery-operated appliances like rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable shavers, and night lights that are plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
  • Page 6: Additional Safety Guidelines

    Additional Safety Guidelines • Do not insert foreign objects in the outlets or other openings. EN120/EN180 • Never connect the inverter to power utility AC distribution wiring. • Do not use the in temperatures EN120/EN180 over 100° F (40° C).

    5 Using the Inverter EN120/180 Through its AC outlet, the is capable of powering most 120V AC products that use 120W/180W or less. The EN120/180 can also power or charge most consumer electronics that have USB power ports. EN120/180 AC output waveform, called “modified sine wave”...
  • Page 9 Plug a DC cable into the DC cable port on the EN120/180 and connect to a 12V cigarette lighter receptacle. Plug the device you want to operate into the EN120/180 When the inverter is not in use, unplug it from the 12V outlet to prevent slight discharge of the battery.
  • Page 10: Inverter Operation

    Operating Guidelines • As the battery is used, its voltage begins to fall. When the EN120/180 senses that the voltage at its DC input has dropped to 10.5V, the inverter automatically shuts down and the light glows RED, indicating a fault. This prevents the battery from being damaged.
