FAQs
Can I Charge via the Anderson and Use another Anderson to supply power at the same time?
Yes, the Anderson plugs are bi-directional so you can charge your battery whilst running your fridge for example.
How much solar can I use with the 50Ah Lithium PowerTop?
Maximum connected solar panels - 600 Watts - Must be regulated.
How do I charge the PowerTop?
For DC-DC model charge via the in-built DC-DC charger.
Two ways:
1. using supplied Ciga lead, you will be charging at 10A when plugged in via your vehicle cigarette socket.
2. Via supplied Tri colour Anderson plug extension lead, plugged into a dedicated 20A feed via Grey Anderson, direct
from your vehicles main battery.
3. External 240V Lithium Battery Charger (up to 20A) with Anderson connection via one of the three Anderson
connections.
4. Solar panel/blanket via regulated solar controller using the grey Anderson plug. Must be regulated. Maximum
connected solar panels - 600W.
How do I charge the PowerTop?
For standard model PowerTop
1. Charge via external DC-DC charger (i.e. Baintech 40A DC-DC Charger)
2. External 240V Lithium Battery Charger (up to 20A) with Anderson connection via one of the three Anderson

How long will it run my fridge for?
24-48hours* depending on the size and current draw of your fridge. There are many factors to take into consideration,
amp draw, ambient temperature, use frequency, contents of your fridge.
TIPS:
• Cool your fridge and drinks before running your fridge off the PowerTop
• Maintain your battery via charging source
• Keep frozen bottles of water to keep the internal temp lower so it doesn’t have to work as hard
It’s best practice to keep your battery topped up via solar or DC-DC charging to keep your essentials running while off-
grid.
What is a BMS?
An internal battery monitoring system protecting the battery from over and under voltage, and temperature.
By shutting down the battery if it reaches excessive temperatures or voltages.
Troubleshooting Guide
• When I turn the voltmeter on there is nothing on the screen.
The battery is most likely completely discharged. Connect a charger and give the battery a good charge up.
Note: if you leave your battery for an extended period you will need to use a charger that automatically provide charge
without sensing any voltage from the battery. At very low voltages the battery will appear to be dead because it is
protecting itself and will only come to life when you apply a charge.
• The voltmeter is on but I am not getting any power.
One or more of the fuses is likely blown. Remove the cover from the fuse holders inspect and replace fuses as
necessary. They are standard automotive fuses available from any many locations including service stations and
automotive supply stores.
See specifications for fuse replacements.
• The voltmeter is OFF but I am still getting power.
The on/off switch only isolates the voltmeter and two USB sockets with lighting circuits.
