SOLAR
My solar output appears lower than expected?
If the battery is close to fully charged, the BatteryPlus35-II will periodically turn o
ff
solar to protect the batteries from overcharging. As a result, you may see less output
on your solar display.
The following tips will also make sure you are getting the most of your solar set-up:
1.
Make sure your solar panels are clean.
For optimal performance of your solar panels, regularly clean them (when cool)
with warm, soapy water.
2.
Consider the location of your caravan.
A shadow (for example from trees, buildings and even other accessories on the
roof of your caravan) across any part of the solar panel can reduce the panel
performance by up to 80%.
3.
The time of day, month and year is important.
In some parts of the year (especially in southern parts of Australia) the sun will
never be directly overhead, so your solar output will be reduced - sometimes by
up to 50%.
None of my loads appear to be powered and the screen on my battery monitor has
turned o
ff
?
All loads, including any battery monitor in use with the BatteryPlus35-II will power
down if the BatteryPlus35-II was put into Storage Mode.
The BatteryPlus35-II will be put into Storage Mode if:
1.
The switch connected to the BatteryPlus35-II RSW input has been activated.
This turns o
ff
power to all caravan loads and accessories connected to the
BatteryPlus35-II CAN bus, such as your battery monitor.
Check that the switch has not been activated.
2.
Battery voltage is very low. The BatteryPlus35-II will enter Storage Mode to
conserve remaining battery voltage, which will disable power to all caravan loads
and accessories connected to the BatteryPlus35-II CAN bus.
Connect the BatteryPlus35-II to a power source and begin battery charging.
