Inergy KODIAK Manual de usuario

Dear Valued Customer,

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your pur-

chase and support. The Kodiak represents four years of research,

countless prototypes, and numerous revisions. We couldn’t be

more excited to deliver this product to you. While we know you

are as excited to dive in with the Kodiak as we are to provide it to

you, there are a few things we need to cover rst:

• TheKodiakwillarrivepartiallychargedinaccordancewith

lithium ion shipping regulations. Fully charge prior to use using

the AC charger, solar panels, or car charger (not included).

- The provided Standard Wall Charger is a 100 Watt charge

source, taking approximately 11 hours to fully recharge.

Connect to Port 1.

- The Quick Wall Charger is a 189 Watt charge source,

taking approximately 6 hours to fully recharge the

Kodiak. Connect to Port 2.

• ChargingwithCarCharger

- Usingavehicle’s12VDCsocketchargestheKodiakatup

to 240 Watts, taking approximately 5 hours to fully re-

charge. Connect car charger to Port 2.

USING YOUR KODIAK

The12VDCsockets&BasecampLEDLightportsarealwayslive

- just plug in your gear, power is readily available. The 110V AC

outlets&USBPortsarebothactivatedbypressinginthepower

button. The Kodiak can be charged and power your gear at the

same time.

POWERING YOUR GEAR

• Poweringdevicesthatconsumeverylargeamountsof

electricity (1,000 Watts or greater, like a refrigerator) can

deplete your battery capacity quickly and you may not get

all of the 1,100 Watt hours of energy stored in the Kodiak

when fully charged.

• WhenusinglargeamountsofACpoweratlowerbattery

levels, the inverter may turn o earlier than normal with

useable battery capacity still available. Try reducing the

amount of power being used via AC. DC power may still be

available, but more battery capacity is needed to power the

inverter(ACoutlets).Oftenthelast10-20%ofthebatteryis

only available via DC.

READING THE LCD DISPLAY & BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR

• LCDDisplay

- The LCD Display is turned on and o with the power

button, as well as turning on when a charge source is

connected to the Kodiak. The LCD Display is the most

accurate method for determining battery capacity, as

well as determining how much power is being used by

the Kodiak. There are 4 data sections total on the LCD

Display, but the 2 data sections on the right side are

the most commonly used. The top right data indicates

the Voltage of the battery in real time. A fully charged

Kodiak will be between 12.3 - 12.6 Volts. A completely

discharged Kodiak will be between 9.3 - 9.6 Volts. The

bottom right data indicates how much power is being

used by the Kodiak in real time, measured in Watts.

The LCD Display does not indicate how much power is

coming into the Kodiak from a charge source. See pages

6-8 for more information on LCD Display.

• BatteryLevelIndicator(locateddirectlybelowtheLCD

colored LEDs will illuminate. Each LED light represents

roughly10%ofthebatterycapacity.Note:Asillustrated

STORING THE KODIAK

is recommended that the battery level is checked every

3monthstoensureitisnotbelow10%.Neverleavein

environments exceeding 140˚F (like a hot vehicle), or

indampenvironments.PROTIP:StoringtheKodiakat

half charge ensures the longest battery life. See page 23

(ImportantNoticeRegardingLithiumBatteries)formore

information about storing the Kodiak.

LCD DISPLAY INFOGRAPHIC KEY

The LCD Display contains three dierent real-time measurements

(Volts, Amps, and Watts), and one reading that will cycle

between ve dierent measurements to help you better

understand the performance of your Kodiak: Voltage minimum

(Vm), Wattage peak (Wp), Amp hours (Ah), Watt hours (Wh), and

Amperage peak (Ap).

A: Power Consumption in Amps

Displays the total amount of power being used by the Kodiak

in real time, measured in Amps. This is a DC measurement.

B: Battery Voltage

Displays the Voltage of the battery in real time. A fully

charged Kodiak will be between 12.3 - 12.6 Volts. A

completely discharged Kodiak will be between 9.3 - 9.6 Volts.

C: Current Session Measurements (for Advanced Users)

Each of the following ve readings represent measurements

taken since the LCD Display was last activated by either

connecting a charge source to the Kodiak, or turning the

KodiakON.EachtimetheLCDDisplayisturnedon,itis

referredtoasa“session”.Thesereadingsareonlyforthe

current session, and the data is lost once the LCD Display is

turned o.

• C1:(Vm)VoltageMinimum

- Displays the lowest measured battery Voltage at any one

time during the current session. This helps illustrate

anoccurrenceknownas“VoltageDrop.”Voltagedrop

occurs when power is drawn from a battery (known

asaload).BatteryVoltagedropssignicantlyunder

larger loads, then rebounds when the load is reduced.

Sometimes this drop in Voltage can result in the AC

inverter turning o while there is still useable battery

capacity remaining (as illustrated on page 4 under the

section“UsingYourKodiak”).

• C2:(Wp)WattagePeak

- Displays the highest power output at any one time

during the current session, measured in Watts. This is

useful in illustrating large peaks in power demand that

can occur intermittently, like refrigerators, water pumps,

or small air conditioners.

• C3:(Ah)AmpereHours

- Displays the total amount of power drawn from the

battery during the current session, measured in Ampere

hours. This is useful when comparing your power

consumptiontotherated90AmpereHourcapacityof

the internal battery.

• C4:(Wh)Watthours

- Displays the total amount of power drawn from the

battery during the current session, measured in Watt

hours. This is useful when comparing your power

consumption to the rated 1,100 Watt hour capacity of

the internal battery.

• C5:(Ap)AmperagePeak

- Displays the highest measured power output at any one

time during the current session, measured in Amps. This

is useful in illustrating large peaks in power demand that

can occur intermittently, like refrigerators, water pumps,

or small air conditioners.

D: Power Consumption in Watts

Displays the total amount of power being used by the Kodiak

in real time, measured in Watts.
