Routine Maintenance

Routine Maintenance

Minimal maintenance is required to keep your inverter operating properly. Periodically you should:

Clean the exterior of the inverter with a damp cloth to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.

Ensure that the DC cables are secure and fasteners are tight.

Make sure ventilation openings on the AC and DC panels of the inverter are not clogged.

Recharging Your Batteries

When possible, recharge your batteries when they are about 50% discharged or earlier. This gives the batteries a much longer life cycle than recharging when they are almost completely discharged.
