External Battery Connection Procedure
1. Locate the Battery Terminals.
2. Loosen the Battery Terminal covers and connect the batteries using either ring terminals
or jumper cable clamps. Make sure the connection is secure.
3. With a voltmeter, verify that the battery voltage is correct at the terminals.
4. Turn ON the Inverter and observe the external battery voltage.
CauTion—BaTTery diSCharge:
The Digital LED Voltmeter shows external battery voltage to the Inverter. It is important to monitor
the external battery voltage to prevent battery over-discharge.
ADDing sOlAR PAnEls
Additional solar panels can be connected to the Solar e Power Case using the Solar Panel
Terminals. Adding solar panels can reduce battery charging time. The internal Solar Charge
Controller is rated at a maximum of 5A with panel voltages between 16 to 22 volts. Do not con-
nect more than 75W of solar panels, including the 40W panels that are supplied. Doing so will
cause an overload on the Solar Charge Controller and cease the charging process.
MAinTEnAnCE
Maintaining the Solar e Power Case in good operating condition is relatively simple. Charge the
battery until full as often as possible and keep all surfaces free of dust and dirt.
Cleaning
With the Solar e Power Case disconnected from all electrical cords and the fans OFF, you may
carefully vacuum the vents to remove dust.
The solar panels should be periodically cleaned during extended use and before storing. Check
your panels weekly or following a storm to make sure no damage has occurred.
• Check for dirt buildup or bird droppings.
• Using a soft brush, remove dust or droppings from the panels.
• Wipe surface area of solar glass and frame with a soft damp cloth. Use mild dish soap
if necessary.
• Dry the panels with a soft cloth. Solar panels are more efficient when they are clean.
• Check wiring or cables that are attached to the solar panels. Wire or cables may
become loose from turbulent weather conditions.
• Store panels when not in use.
