• Temperature of the batteries (colder batteries provide fewer amps).
• Age and condition of the batteries (older batteries lose AH capacity).
• Compliance with turning off unnecessary AC loads.
• Use of DC appliances and compliance with turning off unnecessary
DC loads.

SETTING UP THE BATTERY BANK

Batteries that are used indoors or inside a vehicle or vessel, should be deep-cycle, sealed lead
acid batteries.
NOTE: It is important that for any inverter installation to battery protection fuses. Battery fuses
are added to the positive (+) battery cable as close as possible to the battery bank's positive
terminal. The fuse amperage rating must be sized to allow simultaneous operation of all the AC
appliances to be powered, plus 20 percent safety factor. Fuses are very important to protect
equipment, batteries, and personnel. The fuses protect against battery explosion if the cables
that connect to the inverter accidentally short.

s WARNING—Exploding Batteries!!
Exploding batteries can spray molten lead, hot sulfuric acid, and other metal, and plastic
fragments. Batteries that are charging or under high discharge rates produce explosive
hydrogen gas into the surrounding area. Be safe–fuse the battery bank and make sure the
batteries are properly ventilated.
