Appendix: Using AC Power to Charge the
Battery
If your installation is in a low-light area or an area with prolonged periods of time
where temperatures stay below -4°F (-20°C), charging may be inhibited. You may
use Davis’s Optional AC Charger Kit, product number 6710, to charge the battery.
The kit allows you to replace the solar charger with AC power. The adapter has a
universal input (100 -240V, 50-60 Hz) and will work anywhere in the world. (A
wall-plug adapter may be necessary for use in some countries.) In a cold
environment, you will need to bring the Vantage Connect into a warmer
environment (above -4°F/-20°C) to charge the battery with the AC Charger Kit.
