• Charge level of the batteries (between use, chargers have to be

able to fully charge the batteries)

• Temperature of the batteries (colder batteries provide fewer amps)

• Age and condition of the batteries (older batteries lose capacity

(amp hours)

• Compliance with turning off unnecessary AC and DC loads.

If there is any doubt about sizing the battery bank, it is safe to over

estimate the amp hour requirements of the battery bank.

Note:

The type of batteries you use to power your high power inverter is important.

Operating a high-power inverter will routinely discharge batteries and they will

require frequent recharging. Batteries used to start engines are not designed

to repeatedly charge and discharge. PowerBright

recommends using “deep-

cycle” or “marine” rated batteries.

Cable Gauges

When connecting the inverter to a battery bank use the thickest stranded

insulated copper wire available, in the shortest length practical. If the inverter

and the battery are positioned within four feet of each other, a minimum of #12

gauge wire should be used to make the connections. When the distance

between inverter and battery bank is four to six feet, a minimum of #12 gauge

wire is required.
