* Maximum output power (continuous or peak) only available when vehicle battery is properly charged. Run vehicle
engine often to maintain proper charge. ** Peak Output Power is instantaneous. *** Replace with a fuse of equal
amperage rating only. Higher-rated fuses should not be used.
Typical Runtimes Before Battery Recharge
Although you can operate your Inverter with your vehicle engine off, best results are usually achieved
with the engine running. Since the Inverter converts electrical energy (and doesn’t produce it),
the Inverter’s performance is relative to the condition of your vehicle’s electrical system (battery,
alternator and wiring). If other loads (air conditioner, heater, lights, etc.) are also using power, you
may get less runtime.

Vehicle Electrical System Limitations
Due to the limitations of certain vehicles’ 12V DC lighter/accessory outlet electrical systems, you
may not be able to continuously run a full load from your inverter. If you regularly blow fuses, it
may indicate your vehicle is not adequately wired to support your Inverter as it is designed. In this
case, consult vehicle manufacturer recommendations for rewiring from the fuse block or battery
with appropriate wiring (10 - 12 gauge) and fusing (at least 40 amp). All standard vehicle accessory
outlet electrical systems can support full loads for PV100USB models without any modifications.
PV100USB Connection Warning
The extra 12V DC CLA socket on the PV100USB is intended for low voltage electronic devices only
(smartphones, MP3 players, etc.). DO NOT plug another inverter into this port. DO NOT attempt to
use as a cigarette lighter.
