The controller disables the 
USB charger automatically if 
the battery voltage drops 
below 11.0V. If there is 
enough current from the PV 
panel/array available to 
charge the Battery to above 
12.8V, the USB terminal will 
be enabled again. 

Warning: 

Do not connect the 

charging device anywhere 
else!  USB-Negative contact 
is connected to battery 
negative. 

 

 

10.0 Frequently Asked Questions 

(FAQs) 

 
Before a problem is suspected with the system, read this section. There 
are numerous events that may appear as problems but are in fact 
perfectly normal. Please visit

FAQs. 
 

It seems like my flooded batteries are losing water over time.

 

Flooded batteries may need to have distilled water added periodically to 
replace fluid loss during charging. Excessive water loss during a short 
period of time indicates the possibility of overcharging or aging batteries.  
 

 
When charging, my flooded batteries are emitting gas.

 

During charging, hydrogen gas is generated within the battery. The gas 
bubbles stir the battery acid allowing it to receive a more full state of 
charge. 

Important:

 Ensure batteries are in a well-ventilated space. 

 

My voltmeter shows a different reading than the GP-PWM-10 display 

The meter value on the GP-PWM-10 display is an approximate reading 
intended for indication purposes only. There is an approximate 0.1-volt 
inherent error present that may be accentuated when compared with 
readings from another voltmeter.
