25 A Specifications Appendix A contains electrical and physical specifications for the PROwatt 600 Inverter ..
Electrical Performance 26 Electrical Performance Physical Specifi cations are sub ject to chan ge without notic e. Output po wer at 20º C ambien t and 12 Vdc i nput: • Continuous power • Surge p .
27 B Battery Types and Sizes The batteries you use strongly affect the performance of the PROwatt 600 Inver ter . It is important to connect the inverter to the correct size and type of ba ttery . The informat ion in Appendix B will help you select, connect, and maintain batteries that are most appropriate for your application.
Battery T ypes 28 Battery Types Auto motive Sta rting Batt eries Purpose The lead- acid battery y ou are most famili ar with i s probably the sta rting battery in your automobile. An a utomotive start ing battery is designed to deli ver a larg e amount of current for a short pe riod of time (s o it can start your engine).
Battery Size 29 Deep-Cycle Lead-Acid Batteries Purpose Deep-cycl e lead-aci d batteries ar e designed fo r deep dischar ge serv ice where they wil l be repeatedl y discharge d and rech arged.
Battery Size 30 Batt er y Ca pa city Sta nd ard s A number of differ ent standards a re used to ra te batte ry ener gy storage capacity . Automo tive and marine st arting batter ies are norma lly rated in cranking amps. This is not a releva nt rating for c ontinuous loads l ike an inverte r .
Estimating B attery Requirements 31 Estimating Battery Requiremen ts T o determine t he battery capa city you req uire: 1. Determine how many watts are co nsumed by each applian ce that you will be operating from the PROwatt 600. Y ou can normal ly find this on a label on the pr odu ct.
Battery Sizing Example 32 Battery Sizing Example This exampl e illustrat es a typical calcula tion, assuming an opportun ity to char ge the batt e ries eve ry three days .
Battery S izing Worksheet 33 Battery Sizing Worksheet Use the f ollowing worksheet to calcula t e your ba ttery needs. T o ensur e suffici e nt batt ery capacity , be generous whe n estimat ing the operati ng time per day for each of the loads you will run.
T w o Batteri es Connec ted In P arall el 34 Two Batteri es Connected In Parallel T wo ident ical batteri es can be conne cted posi tive (+) to posit ive (+) an d ne gativ e (– ) to ne gati ve (–) in a parall el system. A pa rallel sys t em doubl es capacity and maintains th e voltage of a single b attery .
Battery Tips 35 Battery Tips Explosive/Corro s ive Gases Lead-acid ba tteries may emit hydrogen, oxygen, and sulf uric acid fumes when rechar ging. T o reduc e the risk of ex plosion: • V ent the b attery compar tment to prevent the accu mula tion of ga ses.
Battery Tips 36 Discharged Batteries Do not l eav e batt erie s in a disc harged state for more than a day or two. They will und ergo a chemical process (sul fation) that ca n permanently da mage the batter y .
37 C Alternators and Charging Systems A good charging sys te m is important for the health of your batteries. Poor recharging methods can quickly damage them. Appendix C provides guidelines for recharging batteries from an alternator , from AC power , and from alternate ene r gy sources.
Char ging S ystem R equireme nts 38 Charging System Requirements Y our char ging syste m should b e capable of d e liveri ng a char ging current e qual to 10–25% of the amp-hour c apacity of your b attery . For exampl e, if you have a 200 Ah battery , the char ging system shou ld be able to del iver 50 amps.
Charging From AC Power 39 Using an Altern ator Controller If your regular alter nator is inadeq uate by itself , you can instal l an altern ator controll er that will byp ass the volt age regulat or and boost t he alternator’ s output voltag e during char ging.
Charging From Alternative En ergy Sources 40 Charging From Alternative En ergy Sources Y o ur ba tter ies ca n al so b e rech arged from alte rna tive en ergy sources such as solar panel s, wind, or hydro sys tems. Make sure you use the approp riate batter y charge controller fo r your par ticular ener gy source.
