Battery Charging with Inverter
The inverter will automatically
begin charging when AC power is
available from either shore service
or the generator. The inverter
uses a three-stage charge cycle to
charge the batteries. The charger
may be turned off if desired.
To turn the charger on and
off:
 Press the switch marked
Charger On/Off on the
remote panel.
Shore Setting:
The Shore setting in the remote
panel adjusts the amount of AC
current the battery charger
can use. If hooked to less
than 50 amp service, select
the proper Shore setting to
help prevent combined AC
loads such as the roof air
conditioner and the charger
from overloading limited
shore power service.
To Adjust Shore Power
Setting:
 Press the Shore button
on inverter remote.
 Turn the knob on the
inverter remote left or
right to scroll through
shore setting options.
 Press the knob to select. An
arrow will appear next to
the selected setting.
NOTE:
Settings 20 Amp and
below limits battery
charge capacity and may
hamper ability to efficiently
operate DC electrical
loads. Remember to reset
to higher amperage when
available.
Three-stage charging cycle:
The inverter optimizes battery
charge rate and time using a
three-stage charge cycle. Each
stage of the charge cycle utilizes
voltage and current to charge the
batteries quickly and efciently
without damaging the batteries
by overcharging or insufcient
undercharging. The charge prole
occurs automatically when
the battery bank type (LLA or
AGM) and size (amp hours) is
programmed through the remote.

Set Shore Settings To:
 Bulk Charge Cycle:
Brings the DC voltage
up high, initially between
14.2 - 14.6 Volts DC. The
length of time the inverter
is in Bulk Charge depends
the state of charge of the
batteries.
 Absorb Cycle: Absorb
Cycle battery voltage is the
same as the Bulk Charge
Cycle, between 14.2 - 14.6
Volts DC. Length of the
Absorb Cycle is a timed
event determined by the
inverter.
 Float Charge Cycle:
Charge voltage is generally
around 13.3 - 13.7 Volts
DC. Approximately 80% of
the charging cycle has been
completed by this time.
