For 12VDC model, after the battery voltage goes below 10V, if the switch is still (and always) kept in "ON"
position, the inverter is always connected with battery, and the battery voltage doesn’t drop below 2V, the
inverter will be able to charge the battery once qualified AC inputs are present.
Before the battery voltage goes below 9VDC, the charging can be activated when the switch is turned to
“Off”, then to “ON”.
When the voltage goes below 9VDC, and you accidently turn the switch to OFF or disconnect the inverter
from battery, the inverter will not be able to charge the battery once again, because the CPU loses memory
during this process.

The charging capacity will go to peak in around 3 seconds. This may cause a generator to drop frequency,
making inverter transfer to battery mode.
It is suggested to gradually put charging load on the generator by switching the charging switch from min to
max, together with the 15s switch delay, our inverter gives the generator enough time to spin up. This will
depend on the size of the generator and rate of charge.
2.5.3 Transfer
While in the Standby Mode, the AC input is continually monitored. Whenever AC power falls below the
VAC Trip voltage (154 VAC, default setting for 230VAC,90VAC for 120VAC), the inverter automatically
transfers back to the Invert Mode with minimum interruption to your appliances - as long as the inverter is
turned on. The transfer from Standby mode to Inverter mode occurs in approximately 10 milliseconds. And
it is the same time from Inverter mode to Standby mode.
Though it is not designed as a computer UPS system, this transfer time is usually fast enough to keep your
