Low-Battery Alarm

While in use, when the battery reaches 11 Vdc, the Low-Battery Alarm will sound and display an error code indicating that battery is low and the unit is about to be shutdown to prevent battery damage.

When the battery reaches 10.5 Vdc, the unit will automatically disconnect power to the DC socket.

If the alarm sounds, disconnect any loads that may be in use and recharge the unit as soon as possible.

Overload Protection

The internal thermal protector will trip if the 12 Vdc appliance draws more than 12 A (or has a short-circuit defect).

If this occurs, unplug the 12 Vdc appliance. The internal thermal protector automatically resets after a few seconds.
