Xantrex Technology 200 W, 400 W, 800 W manual

Here are some guidelines that will help to preserve your battery:

•Vehicle batteries are not designed for repeated deep-discharge cycles, and constantly recharging a vehicle’s battery will shorten its life. Therefore, when you are using a vehicle battery as a power source, start the vehicle every hour or two to recharge the battery.

•The Digital Inverter will operate while the engine is running, but the voltage drop that occurs when the engine starts may trigger a low-voltage shutdown.

•Vehicle batteries are designed to provide brief periods of very high current needed for engine starting. They are not intended for constant deep discharge. Regularly operating the Digital Inverter from a vehicle battery until the low-voltage alarm sounds will shorten the life of the battery. Consider connecting the Digital Inverter to a separate deep discharge-type battery if you will be frequently running electrical products for extended periods of time.

•If you are not going to use the Digital Inverter for a few days, turn off the unit. The inverter draws 0.4 A or less when the unit is on and no load is connected, but it will eventually discharge the battery.
