Battery Safety
Do
NOT
let the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery touch each other.
Use only sealed lead-acid, flooded, gel or lithium batteries which must be deep cycle.
Explosive battery gases may be present while charging. Be certain there is
enough ventilation to release the gases.
Be careful when working with large lead acid batteries. Wear eye protection and
have fresh water available in case there is contact with the battery acid.
Do
NOT
equalize VRLA type AGM / GEL / LITHIUM batteries
UNLESS
permitted
by battery manufacturer.
Equalization is carried out only for non-sealed / vented / flooded / wet cell lead acid
batteries.
Over-charging and excessive gas precipitation may damage the battery plates
and activate material shedding on them. Too high of an equalizing charge or too
long of one may cause damage. Please carefully review the specific
requirements of the battery used in the system.
Default charging parameters in Li mode are programmed for 12.8V Lithium Iron
Phosphate (LFP) Battery only. Before using Wanderer to charge other types of
lithium battery, set the parameters according to the suggestions from battery
manufacturer.
Connect battery terminals to the charge controller
BEFORE
connecting
the solar panel(s) to the charge controller.
NEVER
connect solar panels
to charge controller until the battery is connected.
