- Always use a well ventilated area for inverter installation.
- After installation use battery on a regular basis.
- Check the water level of battery every two months.
- Always keep the surface and sides of battery clean and dust free.
- Keep the battery terminals corrosion free and rust free.
Hereof, how long can you use an inverter?
12 Volt Battery Chart
| Inverter | Dual 8D | |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 27' Color TV | 40 HRS |
| 200 | Computer System | 20 HRS |
| 300 | Blender | 12 HRS |
| 600 | Small Coffee Machine | 6 HRS |
Subsequently, question is, should I leave my inverter on all the time? One major reason to turn your inverter off when not in use is that it is a serious battery hog. The inverter needs to draw upwards of ten times as much amperage off the battery as it is required to supply. When left on it can drain an RV battery quickly.
Likewise, people ask, how powerful of an inverter do I need?
For example if your DVD player draws 100 watts and your laptop another 100 watts, a minimum 300-watt inverter is recommended. If your inverter only supplies 1000 watts, you will not be able to start it up. In this case, you would want to select an inverter rated at least 1400 surge watts to handle start-up needs.
How should I store my inverter battery when not in use?
Clean the terminals properly and apply petroleum jelly on the terminals to prevent corrosion from exposure. Now store the battery in a cool (preferably zone temperature should not exceed 30 / 35 deg C) and dry place. Try to give a refresher charge & check electrolyte level every 3 months.
