Inverter loads

Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These affected chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.

If you are unsure about powering any load with the HI400, contact the appliance manufacturer.

Turning the inverter off between charges

When the power switch is on but no power is being supplied to a load, the inverter idles and draws less than 400 mΑ from the battery.

Because of this current draw, the battery may need to be recharged after a few days. If you are not using your inverter, turn it off.

Battery charging frequency

When possible, recharge your batteries when they are about 50% discharged or before. This gives them a much longer life cycle than recharging when they are almost completely discharged. For more information about battery chargers, see our web site at www.xantrex.com
