Battery Status Light
•
The battery is like a bucket that holds water. The energy from the sun is like the water.
•
The charge controller is like our eyes. It lets you see how much energy is in the
battery, like how our eyes let us see how much water is in the bucket.
•
If the bucket is overflowing, this is a good time to wash your clothes.
➢
Similarly, if the green light is blinking on the charge controller, this means there
is overflowing electricity in the battery. This is a great time to charge appliances.
•
If you have little water, you would not use the water for washing clothes. You would
save the water for drinking.
➢
If you only have a small amount of electricity in your battery, you need to save
this for lighting at night.
•
If the bucket is empty, you cannot use water until the next time you fill your bucket.
➢
When the battery is empty, it can only be filled during the next sunny day.
