CHARGING YOUR APEX
The Apex has two ports for charging. Only connect one
charge source at a time, connecting two simultaneously
will damage your Apex and may be dangerous.
•Port 1:
Low current charge input for use with the included
Inergy Standard Wall Charger or Apex Car Charger ONLY.
DO NOT USE FOR SOLAR CHARGING.
Both the Standard Wall
Charger and Apex Car Charger have a small LED light on the pow-
er supply that will turn red when the system is charging. Once
the light turns green, the system is fully charged. Another way
to verify the system is charging is by turning the Power Switch
to DC ONLY mode (see page 3 for more information). The LCD
should display
CHG
in the top middle to indicate the system is
charging, and the Wattage figure on the top right will display the
charge rate in Watts.
•Port 2:
High current charge input for use with the Apex Quick
Wall charger and Inergy solar panels.
MAXIMUM INPUT:
UP TO 500 WATTS, NOT TO EXCEED 26 VOLTS
DC (OPEN CIRCUIT, ABBREVIATED AS VOC) or 30 AMPS. When a
charge source is connected to Port 2, the blue charge indicator
LED will illuminate to indicate the system is charging. Another
way to verify the system is charging is by turning the Power
Switch to DC ONLY mode (see page 3 for more information). The
LCD should display CHG in the top middle to indicate the system
is charging, and the Wattage figure on the top right will display
the charge rate in Watts.
Charging with Solar Panel(s)
Charge times vary depending on solar panels used, sun condi-
tions, and angle of panel(s) relative to the sun. If using third
party panels not supplied by Inergy, always connect panels in a
PARALLEL wiring configuration -
not a SERIES wiring configu-
ration.
See PAGE 8 “Solar Energy General Guidelines.”
Charging with Standard or Quick Wall Charger
-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 approxi-
mately 6 hours to fully recharge the Apex. Connect to Port 2.
Charging with Car Charger
Using a vehicle’s 12V DC socket charges the Apex at up to 113
Watts, taking approximately 10-11 hours to fully recharge. Con-
nect car charger to Port 1.
USING YOUR APEX
The Apex has a 3-position power switch that allows only specific
output ports to be activated based on your needs. The Apex can
be charged with the 3 position power switch in any position. See
the illustration and descriptions below for more information:

LEFT POSITION:
All DC ports (12V DC sockets, Basecamp LED
Light ports, and the USB ports) on, otherwise referred to as DC
ONLY mode. This will also activate the LCD Display.
MIDDLE POSITION:
All output ports off, otherwise referred to
as OFF mode.
RIGHT POSITION:
All AC & DC ports on, otherwise referred to
as ALL ON mode. This will also activate the LCD display.
