C–3

Charging From AC Power

When recharging from AC power, use a good quality charger or RV

converter that meets the requirements outlined in “Charging System

Requirements” on page C–1.
Do not use chargers intended for occasional recharging of automotive

starting batteries. These chargers are not intended for continuous use.

Charging From Alternative Energy Sources

You can also charge your batteries from alternative energy sources such

as solar panels, wind, or hydro systems. Make sure you use the

appropriate battery charge controller for your particular energy source.

CAUTION

Never operate the inverter directly from an energy source such as a solar
panel. The inverter must be connected to a battery or a well-regulated,
high-current DC power supply to work properly.
