NOTE: Using 12V DC Input Inverter on 24V Battery System will damage the inverter and may catch fire.

Battery Bank:

The use of deep cycle battery is highly recommended for power inverter application
For battery size, you need to identify how long you wish to operate the load(s). Enerdrive does recommend that you purchase as much battery capacity as possible. See more on “Estimated Run time and Load” in Section 4.
Please use 24V Battery Bank system for 24V DC Input Inverter (EN1105S-24).

Fuse or Circuit Breaker:

DC-rated fuse or DC-rated circuit breaker connected along the DC positive line is required.
Select a fuse or circuit breaker with 35A/ 30V minimum rating for the 24V DC Input Inverter.
Based on the size of the battery bank chosen on the 24V Battery Bank system above, determine the overall short circuit current rating of the battery bank from the battery manufacturer. The fuse or circuit breaker chosen has to be able to withstand the short circuit current that may be generated by the battery bank.
