2.2  WARNINGS

This kit IS NOT

weatherproof

Never leave your Duralite Solar Kit unattended, plugged in 

overnight, or subject to inclement weather.

Use caution 

around power 

sources

Electricity can be very dangerous. Take appropriate caution when 

making connections.

Battery and wiring 

safety

Observe all safety precautions of the battery manufacturer when 

handling or working around batteries. When charging, batteries 

produce hydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. Ensure batteries 

are in a well-ventilated space, away from sparks for open flames.

Wiring 

connections

Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Loose connections 

may generate sparks and heat. Be sure to check all connections 

before using the portable solar kit.

Observe correct 

polarity

Reverse polarity of the battery terminals and array will cause the 

controller to give a warning tone. The controller will not function 

unless battery terminals are connected to a battery with proper 

polarity. Failure to correct this fault could damage the controller.

Do not exceed the 

Charge Controller 

current and volt-

age ratings

Refer to charge controller section for details.
