Is my inverter weatherproof?
No. Do not leave your inverter in extreme conditions and be
aware of lightning storms. If struck, your inverter would go into a
permanent overload state, causing damage to both the inverter,
the battery source and the item being supplied power. If using
in a marine environment, keep the inverter in the driest area
possible.
converter safety tips and general information.
• Power inverters work best with a fully charged battery in good
condition. A weak battery will be drained easily if demands are
too high. Always check your battery's condition before using
an inverter to prevent becoming stranded.
• If the power inverter is being used while the vehicle is running
as in the case of a road trip, there should be no problem with
the extra draw, assuming the battery and alternator are in
good condition.
• Always use a power inverter rated 10-20% higher than the total
wattage of the devices you'd like to use; always account for
surge wattage before using inverter. Don't overload the outlets.
• When using the inverter, always place inverter on a flat level
surface free of clutter or debris.
• Place the inverter in a well-ventilated area when in use, as all
inverters generate some amount of heat. An internal fan may
be used to cool your inverter. While in use, maintain several
inches of clearance around the top and sides of the inverter.
• Never use the inverter near flammable materials.
• Never leave an inverter connected to a line where other power
