But most of the time you will run at less than full output, and that's where Xantrex has its highest efficiency. Low battery protection As long as your engine is running there is no danger that a computer or microwave will run you out of power. But, once the truck is shut off, all the loads run from the battery. With other inverters, it can mean over discharge of the battery, which is detrimental because it can leave you needing a jump start. What's more, it causes a lasting problem.
Deep discharge is a leading cause of battery failure.
These systems protect your batteries with low voltage DC cut-out where the AC power is shut off before the battery gets dangerously low. This means you can power your truck at truck stops, at home, or at a terminal with an outdoor extension cord. All the loads are run from the local utility rather than your batteries. This is much better for batteries than even the engine alternator. When it comes to overall value and performance there are no better systems on the market.
