PowerTop V2 User Operation Manual
If the solar panel is supplied with a solar charge controller or you have an external solar charge controller they must
meet the following requirements:
•
20A maximum charge current
•
Bulk 14.2V
•
Float 13.7V
If the solar charger controller meets these requirements connect the device to the
Grey
Anderson connector
labelled 50A Battery Output.
Vehicle Charging
IMPORTANT NOTE:
DC On/Off Switch must be
ON
for charging (see page 3 for switch location).
If you want to charge the PowerTop from the vehicle alternator, connect a cable to the starter battery, connect the
other end of the cable to the
Blue
Anderson Plug on the PowerTop labelled Vehicle charge input. Fuse the cable at
the start battery end of the cable. The vehicle voltage must be above 13.2V to charge the PowerTop battery.
Recommended fuse size is 35 AMPS max.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
DC On/Off Switch must be
ON
for charging ( see page 3 for switch location)

REGULATED SOLAR DC CHARGING
Important note: PowerTop must be ON for charging (See page 5 for on/off location)
STANDARD ALTERNATOR VEHICLE CHARGING
Important note: PowerTop must be ON for charging (See page 5 for on/off location)
If you have an external DC-DC charger they must meet the following requirements:
•
20A maximum charge current
•
Bulk 14.2V
•
Float 13.7V
If the DC-DC charger meets these requirements connect the device to the
Grey
Anderson connector labelled 50A
Battery Output.
Charging Status LEDs
FLAT BATTERY LED
will switch on when battery voltage drops below 11V and will switch off when
battery voltage is greater than 11V. When the FLAT Battery LED is on an internal audible alarm will
also activate.
BOOST LED
indicates that the battery is being charged via the Solar/Ext (RED Anderson) and Vehicle
(Blue Anderson) inputs or on an AC charger. The Boost cut out voltage is 14.2V and will cut in when
the battery voltage drops below 12.7V.
FLOAT BATTERY LED
will switch on when the BOOST cut-out voltage is reached and will switch off
when the Boost cut-in voltage is reached. The Float LED indicates the battery is not being charged
via the Solar/Ext (RED Anderson) and Vehicle (Blue Anderson ) inputs.
Vehicle LED Operation
The Vehicle LED will turn on when the voltage on the B l ue Anderson input is above 13.2V and will
turn off when the voltage goes below 13.2 V.
