11.1V (3s) Lithium Cobalt/Manganese/Nikel
•
GV-10-Li-14.2V:
12V (4s) Lithium Iron Phosphate
•
GV-10-Li-16.7V:
14.8V (4s) Lithium Cobalt/Manganese/Nikel
•
GV-10-Li-CV(**.*V):
Custom CC/CV or Multi-Stage Lithium
•
GV-10-Li-PCB
CC/CV or Multi-Stage Lithium
•
GV-10-Pb-PCB
12V Multi-Stage Lead-Acid/AGM/Gel/Sealed/Flooded
Consult your battery charging specifications to ensure that the GV-10 is compatible with your chosen batteries.

UL SAFETY AND HAZLOC WARNING:
EXPLOSION HAZARD. DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT WHEN ENERGIZED. DO NOT DISCONNECT WHILE THE CIRCUIT IS LIVE OR
UNLESS THE AREA IS FREE OF IGNITABLE CONCENTRATIONS.
ATTENTION: RISQUE D’EXPLOSION. NE PAS RÉPARER, CONNECTER, DÉCONNECTER, OU REMPLACER LES FUSIBLES À MOINS QUE LA ZONE SOIT EXEMPTE DE
CONCENTRATIONS INFLAMMABLES.
WARNING: REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME RATINGS AND TYPE OF FUSE. DISCONNECT ALL SOURCES OF SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING. NON-ISOLATED. ATTENTION:
REMPLACER SEULEMENT AVEC LE MÊME TYPE ET VALEUR NOMINALE DE FUSIBLE. DÉBRANCHER TOUTES LES SOURCES D’ALIMENTATION AVANT L’ENTRETIEN. PAS ISOLÉ.
CAUTION for the GV-10-Pb (Lead Acid Versions Only): INTERNAL TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION. RISK OF FIRE, USE WITHIN 0.3 m (1 ft) of BATTERIES. Lead-acid batteries
can create explosive gases. Short circuits can draw thousands of amps from a battery. Carefully read and follow all instructions supplied with the battery. Use only 12V
lead-acid batteries with the GV-10-Pb-12V and GV-10-Pb-CV.
To avoid stress on the GV-10 and possible damage,
DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT
the solar array when plugged into the controller, and
DO NOT MEASURE SHORT CIRCUIT
CURRENT
of the array while connected to the controller.
Grounding is not necessary for operation and is at the user's discretion. If the GV-10 is to be used with a solar array electrically connected to earth ground, please note
