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 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. - Page 11 • If an AC product rated higher than 120W/180W is plugged into the EN120/180 , the inverter will shut down. The LED light will alternate from GREEN to RED continuously. •...
