CONTROLLER

Once the BATTERY CONNECTOR has been installed, and a battery is installed onto the lift the 24V Solar 

Charger will turn on and start trickle-charging the battery. Without the battery installed the 24V Solar 

Charger will be off , and will remain off  until a battery is installed.

When a 24V battery is installed onto the lift the LED INDICATOR will fl ash “2” to show that a 24V battery 

has been detected and the charger is operational.

The Solar-Panel power indicator will light up (red) when the Solar Charger has been properly attached to 

the battery. The charger will work even on cloudy days, but not as effi  ciently.

When the battery is installed and there is suffi  cient sunlight, the CHARGE INDICATOR will fl ash (red) 

slowly, indicating the battery is being charged. When the controller detects the battery is fully charged 

the fl ashing will stop. Under most conditions the CHARGE INDICATOR light will be fl ashing whenever a 

battery has been installed.

The 24V Solar Charger will continue to charge the battery, even as the lift is being used. So once the 24V 

Solar Charger has been installed it will function without any need for adjustment. The user should check 

the indicators periodically to make sure it is working.
