BATTERY OPERATING TIME
The vehicle batteries are not intended for constant deep discharge, they are designed to provide brief periods of very high current needed for engine starting. It is strongly recommended to start the vehicle every hour or two to recharge battery before its capacity drops too low. Operating the inverter from a vehicle battery until the low voltage alarm sounds will shorten the battery's life.
The inverter can operate whether or not the vehicle's engine is running, but the normal voltage drop that occurs during starting may trigger the inverter's low voltage shutdown feature.
The use of a deep discharge battery is strongly advised for longer operating times. Its capacity should be selected based on the desired operating time.
