DC WIRING OPTIONS

DC Wiring #3 - Two Auxiliary Batteries* with Battery Switch and One Engine Battery

This system allows the inverter to use either auxiliary battery. The engine battery can always be charged by the alternator, but cannot be discharged by the inverter. The user can select between the two auxiliary batteries with the battery

switch for charging or for inverter operation.

DC Wiring #4 - Three Batteries* Connected with Battery Switches

This allows any combination of three battery banks to be charged by or selected to run the inverter.

If both switches are on "all", then all batteries are in parallel. Batteries can be independently added to or removed from the system by selecting the appropriate switch position.

*Each battery shown can represent a battery bank.
