Do not use the battery if it has any visible damage.
z
Do not touch the exposed electrolyte or powder if the battery housing is damaged.
z
The battery may produce explosive gases when being charged. Make sure there is good
ventilation.

2. The batteries can be
combined in parallel or
in series as needed. This
charge controller supports
a maximum system
voltage of 16V. Read the
user manual for battery
voltage parameters, and
calculate the battery
or battery pack system
voltage according to the
formula to ensure that it
does not exceed 16V.
NOTE
z
In the formula, U represents the battery voltage, and 1, 2 or 3 represents the battery number
respectively.
WARNING
z
Do not use the charge controller if the battery or battery pack system voltage exceeds 16V.
Doing so will cause damage to the charge controller.
Checking Solar Panel
1. Inspect the solar panel for any visible damage including
cracks, dents, deformation, and other visible abnormalities.
All connector contacts shall be clean, dry, and free of dirt
and corrosion.
INFO
z
Read the user manual of the solar panel carefully before installation.
