Power Source - Whistler HIGH SURGE POWER INVERTERS Owner's Manual

BATTERY/CABLE INFORMATION
• It may be advisable to operate the inverter from a bank
of batteries of the same type in a "parallel" configuration.
Two such batteries will generate twice the amp/hours
of a single battery; three batteries will generate three
times the amp/hours and so on.
This multiple parallel battery option is especially
recommended for the Whistler 3000 inverter due to the
high level of amps these models require to produce up
to 3000 watts of continuous load. For more information
regarding battery power please visit our inverter faq
page at www.whistlergroup.com/faq-inverters.asp.
Wire Cable Gauges
For safe and proper operation of the inverter, connect the
inverter to the power source with the thickest wire available
and in the shortest length practical.
1200
When the inverter and the battery are set up within four feet
of each other, use a minimum of #4 gauge wire to make the
connections. Within four to six feet, use a minimum of #2 gauge
wire. At distances between six feet to less than ten feet, use
#0 gauge wire.
Regardless of the wire gauge selected to make the connections
to the battery, we recommend use of an "O Ring adapter."
