DC POWER / COACH BATTERIES
BATTERY PANEL
Indicates the state-of-charge of the batteries, battery voltage
and the temperature of the batteries. The temperature gauge
measures the current temperature inside the coach battery box
and will help you determine if it’s safe to charge your batteries.
Battery voltage will vary depending on the load. The battery
voltage will change depending on the amount of charge the
battery is receiving from the solar panel, engine alternator, or the
inverter/charger.
LOSS/GAIN AMPERAGE METER
The LOSS/GAIN AMPERAGE METER gives a real time level of DC
amperage used in the motorhome. A positive number will indicate
that more amperage is going into the battery bank than is being
used. A negative number means the battery bank is being drawn
down.
ESTIMATION GAUGE
The ESTIMATION GAUGE gives an estimate of time remaining
for the DC power that can be drawn from the battery bank. The
average rating takes into consideration consumption over a short
period of time.
The ESTIMATION GAUGE also estimates the charging time when
plugged into shore power, solar charging or when the vehicle is
running and the batteries are being charged.
SOLAR CHARGER SETTINGS
Touch the GEAR symbol to display the settings page for the solar
controller. This includes:
•
Solar Charging Rate
•
History of Charge
•
Solar Charge Settings

NOTE:
The temperature of the batteries is important, do not
charge the batteries if the temperature is below 32 degrees
Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius.
