Q1. Can I use the inverter while the vehicle is running?
Yes, you can use the inverter while the vehicle is running, which will keep the battery charged. However, ensure the inverter is properly connected and that the vehicle’s electrical system can handle the additional load.
Q2. How do I know if the inverter is overloaded?
The inverter is equipped with overload protection. If the connected load exceeds 500W, the inverter will shut down automatically to protect itself and the connected devices. An overload indicator light or alarm may also activate.
Q3. What is the difference between continuous and peak power?
Continuous power is the maximum wattage the inverter can handle for an extended period, which is 500W for this model. Peak power is the maximum wattage the inverter can handle for short bursts, which is typically required during the startup of some devices. For this inverter, the peak power is 1000W.
