Component features and specifications outlined below.

Inverter

Built with a 48 volt DC input, this inverter performs with very little power loss. Users receive a notable increase in efficiency in large systems when compared to using 12 or 24 volts, which can be an attractive feature for sustainability lovers looking to live as efficiently as possible.

The most common use for this inverter is emergency backup power in homes, business and recreation locations. You’ll always be prepared for the next power outage with access to 10000 watts of continuous power and 30,000 watts of surge (for up to 20 seconds).

One of the most sought-after features this inverter has is the direct-connect terminal block, which allows users to surpass the 10000 watt capacity and harness its 300% surge power (up to 30,000 watts for 20 seconds as previously stated).

It’s also built to withstand reasonable heat and temperature fluctuations because of its over-temperature protection and dual thermally-controlled fans.  And it’s protected from humidity or dust and dirt by virtue of its marine-coated or “conformal-coated” boards. This inverter provides the reliability needed in any business or residential emergency backup power applications.

Self Discharge (How quickly the stored energy will deplete when not in use)	CB Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries can be stored for more than 6 months at 77°F / 25°C. Self-discharge ratio less than 3% per month at 77°F / 25°C. Please charge batteries before using.

 
16 batteries with a capacity of 120 amp hr each.. These are no maintenance batteries. They don't leak liquid, gas nor do they need to be vented. The only requirement is that they need to be charged regularly in order to maintain cell integrity of the battery. Charging every three to four weeks is recommended. Failure to ensure a high enough voltage, through consistent charging, will result in cell degradation which causes irreparable damage to the battery.
