Page 40

Battery run time is less than expected.

Possible Cause

Suggested Remedy

The AC product power consumption is higher than rated.

The battery is old or defective.

The battery is not being charged properly.

Use a larger battery to make up for the increased power requirement.

Replace the battery.

Some chargers are not able to fully recharge a battery. Make sure that you use a powerful charger.

Power dissipation in DC cables. Use shorter/heavier DC cables.

The AC load will not operate. The FAULT light is on.

Possible Cause

Suggested Remedy

The AC product(s) connected are rated at more than the inverter’s continuous power rating; overload shutdown has occurred.

Use a product with a power rating less than the inverter’s continuous power rating (see Table 1 on

page 30).
