battery will shorten its life. Therefore, when you are using a vehicle battery as a power source, start the vehicle every hour or two to recharge the battery.
•The XPower will operate while the engine is running, but the voltage drop that occurs when the engine starts may trigger a low voltage shutdown.
•Vehicle batteries are designed to provide brief periods of very high current needed for engine starting. They are not intended for constant deep discharge. Regularly operating the XPower from a vehicle battery until the low voltage alarm sounds will shorten the life of the battery. Consider connecting the XPower to a separate deep discharge type battery if you will be frequently running electrical products for extended periods of time.
•If you are not going to use the XPower for more than a week, turn off the On/Off switch. The inverter draws less than 0.25 amps when the On/Off switch is on and no load is connected, but it will eventually discharge the battery.
