Battery Safety

 Use only sealed lead-acid, flooded, or gel 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.

 Carefully read battery manuals before operation.

 Do NOT let the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery touch each other.

 Recycle battery when it is replaced.

 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.

 Equalization is carried out only for non-sealed / vented/ flooded / wet cell lead acid

batteries.

 Do NOT equalize sealed / VRLA type AGM / Gel cell batteries UNLESS permitted by

battery manufacturer.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Do NOT connect any inverters or battery charger into the load terminal of the charge

controller.

WARNING: Once equalization is active in the battery charging, it will not exit this stage unless

there is adequate charging current from the solar panel. There should be NO load on the batteries

when in equalization charging stage.
