Rechargeable Devices

When first using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for
10 minutes to ensure it does not become abnormally hot. Excessive heat
will indicate that it is incompatible with the inverter.

Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or
transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low
voltage charging output.

Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged if
connected to the PowerHub. Do not use the following with the
PowerHub:

Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night
lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.

Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These
affected chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous
voltages are present at the battery terminals.

CAUTION: Equipment Damage

This equipment produces a modified sine wave output. Equipment damage may
occur if the rechargeable appliance is not designed to use modified sine wave
output. If you are unsure about using your rechargeable appliance with the
modified sine wave, contact the equipment manufacturer.
