Power wire and wiring are very important to the performance of the inverter. Because the inverter has a low voltage, high current input, low resistance wiring is essential between the battery and inverter. This is so it can deliver the maximum amount of energy to the load. Only use the cables provided with your power inverter.
To Connect the Cables Between the Inverter and the Battery:
1.Turn the On/Off Switch on the inverter to the Off position. If the power source is a DC power supply, switch it Off as well.
Turn On/Off Switch to Off
2.Connect cable to the Power Input Terminals on right side panel of the inverter. The red terminal is positive (+) and the black terminal is negative

3.Connect cables to the power source:
a.Connect the cable from the Negative (Black) Terminal of inverter to the Negative Terminal of the power source. Make a secure connection.
b.Connect the cable from the Positive (Red) Terminal of the inverter to the Positive Terminal of the power source (the battery’s main fuse or the battery selector switch, if you are using one). Make a secure connection.

You might observe a spark when you make this connection, since current can flow to charge capacitors in the inverter.
All power connections to your CobraMarine™ Power Inverter must be Positive To Positive and Negative To Negative.
