Battery Charging Frequency

Battery Charging Frequency

When possible, recharge your batteries when they are about 50% discharged or earlier. This gives them a much longer life cycle than recharging when they are almost completely discharged. For information about battery chargers, see our web site at www.xantrex.com.

Routine Maintenance

Minimal maintenance is required to keep your PROwatt 1000 operating properly. Periodically you should:

Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt

Tighten the screws on the DC input terminals
