Operating the PV Solar Input 

The battery box is comes with a solar input port and a DC to DC controller that provides 
an alternative method to charge the internal battery. A solar charge indicator located at 
the back of the battery box to indicate the charging status of the internal battery.  
The DC to DC controller is a fully automatic self-sustaining device that will initiate the 
charge cycle when solar power is available. Please note that the DC to DC controller is 
designed to be used with the provided Nature Power 40W solar panel. Connected to 
other solar panel may damage the unit or over

 

charge the battery. If insufficient charge 

capacity is not available from the solar source, it is recommended to use the internal 5A 
charger to complete the battery charging process through the utility.
