Schumacher PID-760 Power Supply User Manual

POWER SOURCE
Your average automobile or marine battery at full charge
will provide an ample power supply to the inverter for ap-
proximately 3 hours when the engine is off. The actual length
of time the inverter will function depends on the age and
condition of the battery and the power demand being placed
by the device being operated with the inverter.
Turn OFF the device plugged into the inverter before starting
the engine. To maintain battery power, run the engine every
2 to 3 hours for approximately 10 minutes to recharge the
battery. While the PID-760 draws very low amperage when
not in use, it should be unplugged to avoid battery drain.
