BATTERY OPERATING TIME
Operating time will vary depending on the charge level of
the battery, its capacity and the power level drawn by the
particular AC load. With a typical vehicle battery, an
operating time of 4 - 5 hours or more can be expected.
When using a vehicle battery as a power source, it is
strongly recommended to start the vehicle every 1-2
hours to recharge the battery before its capacity drops
too low. The inverter can operate while the engine is
running, but the normal voltage drop that occurs during
starting of the engine may trigger the inverter's low
voltage shutdown feature.
Because the power inverter draws less than 0.4A when its
on with no AC product connected, it has minimal impact
on battery operating times.
INTERFERENCE WITH ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
Generally, most AC products operate with the inverter
just as they would with household AC power. Below is the
information concerning two possible exceptions.
BUZZING AND IN AUDIO SYSTEMS AND RADIOS
Some stereo systems and AM-FM radios have
inadequate internal power supply filtering and "buzz"
slightly when powered by the inverter. Generally, the only
solution is an audio product with a higher quality filter.
