Ÿ

Connecting alternator power to inbuilt DCDC Charger in a vehicle. 

Ÿ

Connecting an unregulated solar panel input to dedicated solar input connector on 
the back of the DCDC Charger (fig 1.2).

Ÿ

Connecting a solar panel with lithium compatible regulator/controller to any of the 
in/out Anderson style connectors (fig 1.1). 

Ÿ

Connecting an external 240V Lithium Compatible charger to any of the in/out 
Anderson Style Connectors (fig 1.1).

Warning:

Ÿ

Do not connect an external charger that is not lithium compatible

Ÿ

Do not connect multiple external chargers. 

Ÿ

Do not connect an external 240V Mains Powered charger or similar while the
DCDC Charger is operating. 

Ÿ

Do not connect an unregulated solar panel directly to the battery via any of the 
in/out connectors. 

Ÿ
