Models: ARF-FWP-80M, ARF-FWP-100M, ARF-FWP-120M
Q. Can this kit charge a 24V battery?
A. No, this kit is designed to charge a 12V battery.
Q. What is the pair of unconnected “+” and “–” cables
in the middle of the controller?
A. These cables are the optional 12V load output of the
controller. It is not necessary to connect anything to them as
the charging function of the solar kit / controller will operate
regardless of whether these cables are connected or not. If
needed, this 12V output can be used to power small 12V
devices (with current up to 10A) such as LED lights, 12V-to-
USB converters etc. The output also has over-discharge
battery protection i.e. it turns itself off when the battery
becomes low. An infrared programming device (purchased
separately) might be required to set up the load output timing.
Q. Can the kit charge two or more 12V batteries
connected in parallel (“+” to “+”, “–” to “–”)?
A. Yes, it’s possible if the batteries are the same type,
capacity and are always used together - wired in parallel as
a single 12V battery bank.
Q. Is there any risk that the solar kit will over charge my
battery?
A. No. One of the main protection functions of the charge
controller is to ensure that your battery is not overcharged.
Q. Can I extend the battery leads?
A. Yes, it’s possible – please choose a cable with the same
cross section for extension.
Q. Can the kit be connected to my battery through a
cigarette lighter or another connector?
A. You can use another connector between the kit and the
battery with care. Ensure that the connector is wired directly
