CAUTION
Operation
The Rover Boost is relatively simple to operate. You will need to set your battery type using the
SET button and then the controller can take care of the rest. The LED Indicators and SET
button are found on the OUTPUT side of the Rover Boost.
The Rover Boost requires that the battery bank be 36V or 48V to operate. It features automatic
battery recognition for deep cycle lead acid and VRLA batteries. It is always good practice to
double check the recognized battery matches the intended voltage of the battery bank. Lithium
batteries will need to be set manually when charging 36V / 48V systems. Auto Recognition will
behave in the fashion indicated below:
A fully charged 36V non-lithium battery that is connected for the first time may have a voltage
that exceeds the 42V threshold. This may include situations where the controller is restarted
or disconnected and then reconnected. Therefore, the Rover Boost will flash the TYPE LED to
toggle the system voltage in the fashion indicated below:
