Therefore the battery is being discharged by:
42Ah – 33Ah = 9Ah each day.
Although you have a 100Ah battery, it is recommended when calculating run times is to allow yourself a buffer and
calculate using only 50% of the battery specification. So, in this case using 50Ah you could run your fridge and lights for:
50Ah / 9Ah = 5.5 days or just under a week without any other form of charge.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically, clean the panels with warm water and a soft sponge or cloth to remove any built up dust or foreign
deposits. Keeping your solar panels clean will ensure optimum performance.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The solar mat and controller are both sealed units and cannot be repaired. If a problem does occur, double checking
all connections, including correct polarity of the DC battery clamps and or disconnect the DC battery clamps from
the battery and wait 30 seconds (this will reset the controller). If after reconnecting the DC battery clamps and the
problem persists, please contact Companion Brands customer service (details are at the back of this booklet).
NOTE: THE ABOVE CALCULATIONS ARE INTENDED FOR REFERENCE & INFORMATION ONLY AND ARE BASED
ON THE CELL “PEAK POWER” OF THE SOLAR MAT. IT DOES NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION ANY EXPECTED
POWER LOSSES DUE TO THE PWM CONTROLLER, LEADS OR ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS.
