HI I would like to know when this inverter cut off for low voltage. will it be come back on automatically when voltage on the battery rise back?

I don't believe this unit will power back on by itself. I'm pretty sure you will have to turn it back on manually. I didn't find anything regarding auto turn on in the spec's. I would suggest you contact Xantrex and ask them.

It cuts out when the battery voltage drops below 11V and you have to switch it back on yourself. .i. e. it doesn't come back on automatically.

Although I do not know the answer to your question what I do know is that when it cuts out for HIGH voltage, it sounds an audible signal and remains shut off until it is manually reset. I had that problem with a remote vacation cabin setup when the solar charge controller would automatically equalize the batteries which requires a high voltage (especially in winter and cold battery temps). I would return to the cabin weeks later to find the inverter making its alarm sound but turned off due to high voltage weeks before, and of course the refrigerator and everything else in the cabin would be off. So my impression is that the inverter requires manual resets but I can only answer from the viewpoint of having had an over-voltage cutoff but never had a low voltage cutoff. Sorry I can't specifically answer the question.

I would not advise that as hooking up an inverter to one battery while two batteries are in 24v could be harmful to the battery's lifespan. I would suggest 24v on the panel side and 12v on the battery side. Please let us know if you need further clarification. Kind Regards, AW

Just like the others say the voltage is too low. You can buy a power inverter fairly cheap. The inverter, depending which one you buy can charge it. I just found a couple of 300watt inverters on Amazon for $23.

No. It is a good inverter though. Some inexpensive inverters will use a lot of energy even if they have no load on them. This one doesn't. Very important when running something that cycles on and off like a refrigerator.

Not sure about the low voltage shut off, but I never disconnected mine, just shut it off, had no issues with a low or dead battery.

Most of these have a "low voltage alarm" and the power inverter may automatically stop functioning, but other 12V items (like something plugged into the lighter socket) will not be stopped. So you need to monitor those items and turn them off before it goes too low. FYI, I've seen on battery distributers websites statements like "Draining the battery to 0V just one time can make it no longer hold a charge", so once it seems low stop running things before it gets that bad.

I think you have to activate the alarm for it to function. I did not activate the alarm. It is easy to tell when the power supply kicks in on battery power because of the increased hum from the inverter. There may be a bell that dings once when the inverter is active.

You're probably thinking of a charge controller, not an inverter. And yes, you always need a charge controller so you don't overcharge the battery with the solar panel

Yep...that is correct. It really doesn't draw any current under no-load. There are no noises, nothing...just the red LED lights for voltage or watts. I have used several different inverters and this one is my absolute favorite...it is a beast and built extremely well. No worries...it is a safe buy. Have had mine running continuously for about 7 months now.

No, i never try. I always have a load on it, and if I turn things off it goes to a standby or power save mode automatically.My inverter have been running for more then 2 years now. With no problems so for.

No. The invertor only works with a nominal voltage of 240/120. It "senses" the power from grid tie and will shut down when no power is available. Check out Enphase website for more details.

I have mine plugged into a 12v battery and like G-man said a power inverter. I have only tested it for 15min but it works. I haven't tested it for longer yet.

Consider using something like an APC uninterruptable power supply instead. This is not a good brand of inverter and it would require a constant connection to a 12 volt battery. The power supply, on the other hand, would only use batteries during a power outage.

Hi Karen, I think your question is back to front......but I may be wrong. The batteries should be rigged up to supply the inverter with + 12 V Direct Current for the inverter to supply nominal 120 V Alternative Current......The inverter will take power from the batteries and if the batteries themselves are not supplied with power [from solar panels, an alternator or charger] the inverter will eventually take the batteries down to about 10.5 V DC whilst still delivering the nominal 120 V AC. Which is not good for the batteries. I hope this helps.......best wishes....Jack.

Controller can be set to be constanly on, I've never used it with an inverter with it but I can"t see why you can"t charge the batteries. Running your lights through the inverter connected to the batteries is an unknown. I would like to hear if you can do it. I have used this controller several times, its a great unit.

I did not engineer this product but usually all modern recharging systems will automatically shut down when the battery is fully charged. Should you unplug the power from the product, and not use the appliance for some time, the battery will slowly bleed off power. I personally leave them plugged in and periodically let them discharge in order to cycle the battery.

I use it with a 1600 watt inverter and it works great. Just that if you don't drive it very often, I would disconnect it.
