Solar panel output power lower than 12 Watts do not require a charge controller to charge battery, these
panels can charge the battery directly as the output current are much lower than the Amp-hour rating of
the battery.
Use with correct battery
Please ues to charge a 12 volt rechargeable battery.
Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
6 volt battery configurations may also be used if connected in series (Negative to Positive).
You may use to charge a Sealed Lead Acid battery, a Gel-Cell or a Deep Cycle 12 Volt battery,
Batteries size from 4-22 Ah are recommend.
*Noted: Do not charge the lithium battery without using the charge controller.
Connecting the battery
Always connecting the postive to positive, negative to negative. a voltage meter or a digital multi-meter
may be needed to check the cable’s palority from solar panel.
Location of solar module
Please locate your solar module in a position where it can absorb direct sunlight on the solar panel, and
generally free from cover and shade. To capture the most sunlight in a day Solar Modules should be
facing 20 degrees South if you are in the Northern hemisphere and 20 degrees North if you are in the
Southern hemisphere. The Solar Module can become very hot, please keep out of reach of children. Do
not place heavy objects on Solar Module.
Out put power testing
You may use a voltage meter or a digital multi-meter to measure the voltage of your Semi-Flexible Solar
Module before connecting to the battery. Voltage can range between 15-22 volts; Testing will ensure
correct charging operation. Testing equipment not included.
