Energizer EN1100 User Manual

Note:

The type of batteries you use to power your high power inverter is

important. Operating a high-power inverter will routinely discharge

batteries and they will require frequent recharging. Batteries used to start

engines are not designed to repeatedly charge and discharge.

Energizer

recommends using “deep-cycle” or “marine” rated batteries.

Cable Gauges

When connecting the inverter to a battery bank use the thickest stranded

insulated copper wire available, in the shortest length practical.

Recommended cable gauges are as follows:

WARNING:

DANGER OF BATTERY EXPLOSION – INSTALL A FUSE

Battery banks can deliver very high levels of current that can vaporize

metal, start fires and cause explosions. Energizer

recommends

installing one ANL type fuse and fuse holder close to the positive battery

bank terminal. This fuse protects the batteries from accidental DC cable

shorts, which can cause batteries to explode. ANL fuses and fuse

holders are available at most marine supply stores.

CAUTIONS

•

Loose connections can result in a severe decrease in voltage that

can cause damage to cables and insulation.

•

Failure to make correct polarity ( Pos, Neg ) connection between the

inverter and the battery bank can result in blowing fuses in the

inverter and can permanently damage the inverter. Damage caused

by reversed polarity is not covered under the Energizer

warranty.
