WARNING! • Failure to properly ground your Inverter/Charger to earth ground may result in a lethal electrical shock hazard.

•Never attempt to operate your Inverter/Charger by connecting it directly to output from an alternator rather than a battery or battery bank.

•Observe proper polarity with all DC connections.

Series Connection

In a series connection, your Inverter/Charger’s Nominal DC Input Voltage must match the number of batteries multiplied by their voltage.

For example, a 48V DC Inverter/Charger requires either four 12V batteries connected in series (48 = 4 × 12) or eight 6V batteries connected in series (48 = 8 × 6).

Contact Tripp Lite technical support for assistance with additional parallel, series or series/parallel connections.
