The charging system must be appropriate for your particular installation.
A well-designed charging system will ensure that power is available when
you need it and that your batteries remain in top condition. Inadequate
charging will degrade system performance, and the wrong type of charger
will reduce battery life.
For information about choosing an effective battery charging system, go
to www.xantrex.com, click "Support", choose the product "Xpower
Battery Chargers", and click "Selecting the Right battery Charger" under
Tech Notes.
NOTE: If the main charging source will be the vehicle's alternator, then its
voltage and current ratings must be appropriate for the size and type of
battery that is selected.
WARNING: Fire or explosion hazard
The inverter contains components which tend to produce arcs or sparks. To
prevent fire or explosion, do not install the
compartments containing batteries or flammable materials, or in locations that
require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any space containing
gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, as well as joints, fittings, or other
connections between components of the fuel system.
WARNING: Fire hazard
To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do
not install the inverter in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.
