Figure 6 Hardwiring the 300 Inverter to a 12 Volt Battery
①300 Inverter ② 3.3mm2 (12 AWG) red wire from the
positive inverter terminal to the positive battery terminal (via the fuse and the switch) ➂ 40 amp automotive
fuse ④ 12 volt, 40 amp disconnect switch ➄ 12 volt battery 3.3mm2 (12 AWG) black wire from the negative inverter terminal to the negative battery terminal
Caution! Fire hazard.
The wires in most 12 volt sockets or power outlets are not large enough for loads greater than 150 watts: they will overheat and present a fire hazard.
For loads greater than 150 watts, connect the inverter directly to the battery and use appropriately sized wires like those in the battery clip wire assembly provided with the inverter.
To hardwire the inverter to the battery:
1.Cut the clips off the cable clip wire assembly. (The
