Battery Connection

Connect your Inverter/Charger to your batteries using the following procedures:
• Connect DC Wiring: Though your
Inverter/Charger is a
high-efficiency con-
verter of electricity,
its
rated
output
capacity is limited by
the length and gauge
DC Connectors
of the cabling run-
ning from the battery to the unit. Use the
shortest length and largest diameter cabling
(maximum
2/0
gauge)
Inverter/Charger's DC Input terminals.
Shorter and heavier gauge cabling reduces
DC voltage drop and allows for maximum
transfer of current. Your Inverter/Charger is
capable of delivering peak wattage at up to
200% of its rated continuous wattage output
WARNING! • Failure to properly ground your Inverter/Charger to a vehicle's chassis or earth
ground may result in a lethal electrical shock hazard.
• Never attempt to operate your Inverter/Charger by connecting it directly to output from an
alternator rather than a battery or battery bank.
• Observe proper polarity with all DC connections.
Non-Vehicular or Vehicular
Non-vehicular applications include stationary configurations as well as mobile configurations that are not integrated into a vehicle's electrical
system. In a parallel connection, your Inverter/Charger's Nominal DC Input Voltage (listed in the Specifications section as either 12, 24 or
36) must match the voltage of your battery or batteries (12, 24 or 36). For example, a 12V DC Inverter/Charger would require 12V DC
from your battery system.
In a series connection, your Inverter/Charger's Nominal DC Input Voltage must match the number of batteries multiplied by their voltage. For
example, a 24V DC Inverter/Charger would require either two 12V batteries connected in series (24 = 2 × 12) or four 6V batteries connected
in series (24 = 4 × 6).
In vehicular applications, your Inverter/Charger's Nominal DC Input Voltage must match the voltage of your battery or batteries—
12 Volts. Although it is possible to connect your Inverter/Charger to the main battery within your vehicle's electrical system, in the normal
vehicular context, the Inverter/Charger is connected to one or more dedicated auxiliary (house) batteries which are isolated from the drive
system to prevent possible draining of the main battery.
Contact Tripp Lite technical support for assistance with additional parallel, series or series/parallel connections.

Earth or Vehicle/Boat Battery Ground
Cabling, Maximum 2/0 Gauge to Fit Terminals
for brief periods of time. Heavier gauge
cabling should be used when continuously
operating heavy draw equipment under these
conditions. Tighten your Inverter/Charger
and battery terminals to approximately 3.5
Newton-meters of torque to create an effi-
cient connection and to prevent excessive
heating at this connection. Insufficient tight-
ening of the terminals could void your war-
ranty. See Specifications (included sepa-
to
fit
your
rately) page for Minimum Recommended
Cable Sizing Chart.
• Connect Ground: Using a #8 AWG wire
or larger directly connect the Main Ground
Lug to the vehicle's chassis or earth ground.

must comply with national and local codes
and ordinances.
• Connect Fuse: Tripp Lite recommends
that you connect all of your Inverter/Charger's
positive DC Terminals directly to a fuse(s)
and fuse block(s) within 45 cm (18 inches)
of the battery. The fuse's rating must equal
or exceed the Minimum DC Fuse Rating
listed in your Inverter/Charger's specifica-
tions. See Specifications for fuse and fuse
block recommendations. See diagrams
below for proper fuse placement.
