Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between modified sine wave and pure sine wave?
The Freedom 458 produces filtered modified sine wave output which is compatible with most appliances and electronics. While not as clean as pure sine wave, it's more cost-effective and suitable for marine applications including motors, lights, battery chargers, and most electronics.
How does the automatic transfer switch work?
When shore power is connected, the built-in transfer switch automatically routes AC power to your loads and begins charging batteries. When shore power is disconnected, it instantly switches to inverter power from batteries, providing seamless power continuation.
What size battery bank is recommended?
For optimal performance with the 2500W output, a minimum 400-600 amp-hour 12V battery bank is recommended. Larger banks provide longer runtime and better performance. Deep cycle marine or AGM batteries are preferred for marine applications.
Can I connect a remote control panel?
Yes, the Freedom 458 is compatible with the Freedom Basic Remote for basic control and monitoring, or the Link 1000 system for advanced battery monitoring and system control. These allow convenient operation from multiple locations.
What safety certifications does this unit have?
The Freedom 458 meets relevant marine and RV electrical standards including safety certifications for inverter and charger operation. It includes comprehensive protection features like over-voltage, under-voltage, thermal, overload, and short circuit protection.
