READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SOLAR BATTERY BACK-UP. KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
1. OVERVIEW
The AutoSol Car Tender is designed as a trickle charger to prevent
rechargeable 12 Volt batteries from discharging and getting
damaged when left in storage for long periods.
The charger can be used for cars, trucks, ATVs, boats, water
pumps, deer feeders etc.
2. ASSEMBLING & OPERATION
a. Check for damaged parts before each use. Replace
damaged or worn parts immediately. Never use the solar
panels with a damaged part.
b. Check that the panel, battery clamps and other parts are clean to ensure proper function. If necessary, wipe the
components with a damp cloth – DO NOT use soap or solvents when cleaning and DO NOT pour chemicals on the
panel.
c.
Connect the included battery clamps or the DC plug to the wires from the panel using
the J-plug connectors.
d.
For using the clamps, attach the positive battery clamp (red, +) to the positive battery terminal (+) and the negative
battery clamp (black, -) to the negative battery terminal (-). If using the DC plug, insert the plug into the vehicle’s 12 V
power socket.
e.
Expose the panel to sunlight. The panel can be mounted on a windshield using the suction cups.
f.
The solar panel will produce current when exposed to sunlight. Direct sunlight ensures an optimal result. Diffused or
low light will result in lower or no output.
