(Charging from Solar Continued...)
3. Charge batteries until all colored segments are lit and leave
charging for an additional 2 hours to ensure a full charge. The solar
panels come with a charge controller which regulates the charging
of batteries so there is no need to worry about over-charging the
batteries.
2.2 Charging from the wall
1. Using the included AC Battery Charger/Maintainer, plug the AC
Battery Charger/Maintainer into any wall outlet.
2. Connect the AC Battery Charger/Maintainer's battery clips to each
terminal on the generator (NOT ON INDIVIDUAL BATTERIES).
Connect these black to black, red to red.
3. The AC Battery Charger/Maintainer will automatically detect
battery type and state of charge and will automatically start
charging the battery.
4. The AC Battery Charger/Maintainer will indicate when the
batteries are fully charged.
* For optimal results, leave your HomeGrid™ solar generator plugged
into a wall outlet using the AC Battery Charger/Maintainer during
storage.
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 General instructions
•
For optimal performance, when using your HomeGrid™ solar
generator keep the generator in a cool, dry environment. Although
the solar panels need to be kept in direct sunlight, keeping the
generator core away from any direct heat source, including direct
sunlight, will keep the generator from over-heating and shutting
off. Also, keep away from any combustible materials or gases.
•
Keep well ventilated- the generator core generates heat.
•
This inverter will only operate from a 24- Volt DC power source.
•
Incorrect battery polarity will damage the inverter and void the
warranty.
•
Do not open the HomeGrid™ solar generator; there are no user
serviceable parts inside.
