POWER SOURCE
Your average automobile or marine battery at full charge
will provide an ample power supply to the inverter for
approximately 3 hours when the engine is off. The actual
length of time the inverter will function depends on the age
and condition of the battery and the power demand being
placed by the device being operated with the inverter.
Turn OFF the device plugged into the inverter and the
inverter before starting the engine. To maintain battery
power, run the engine every 2 to 3 hours for approximately
10 minutes to recharge the battery. While the PID-200
draws very low amperage when not in use, it should be
unplugged to avoid battery drain.
