Boats & Marine Use Ideal for maintaining 12V boat batteries, powering small electronics, and lighting. Campervans Compact and easy to deploy for charging auxiliary batteries during trips. Remote Power Needs Suitable for temporary power in remote locations, camping, or outdoor events. Built-In Protection Functions The integrated charge controller includes essential safety features to protect your battery and system. It features a built-in diode to prevent reverse battery feed, ensuring that power does not drain from your battery back into the solar panel during low light conditions or at night. The controller also manages the charging process to prevent overcharging, contributing to the longevity of your battery. Common Questions What type of batteries can this kit charge? This kit is designed to charge 12V batteries, including sealed lead acid, gel, and flooded battery types. The charge controller allows you to select the appropriate battery type for optimised charging. Is the panel waterproof? The solar cells are water repellent and designed for outdoor use. However, the cloth housing is not fully water resistant and should be dried out as soon as possible after heavy rain to prevent damage to the stitching. Can I leave the panel connected to my battery overnight? Yes, the panel features a built-in blocking diode that prevents battery drain at night, so it can be left connected long-term. How do I know if the panel is charging? The inline charge controller has LED indicators. A green 'PV' LED indicates the solar panel is charging the battery. The 'BATT' LED shows the battery status. Installation Notes Position the panel in a clear, sunlit area, free from obstructions or shading, for maximum efficiency. Utilise the integrated fold-away stand to angle the panels towards the sun, adjusting regularly to track its movement throughout the day. Connect the supplied crocodile clips or 12V auto plug directly to your 12V battery terminals, ensuring correct polarity (red for positive, black for negative). Ensure the battery has at least 6V to initiate the solar controller. If fully discharged, a brief charge by other means may be required. Select the correct battery type (sealed lead acid, gel, or flooded) on the charge controller for optimal charging. Before You Buy Verify the 90W output is sufficient for your specific power requirements and battery capacity. Confirm compatibility with your 12V battery type (sealed lead acid, gel, or flooded). Consider the physical dimensions (540 x 525 x 40mm folded) and weight (3.45Kg) for transport and storage. Review the included accessories to ensure they meet your connection needs. Note that while the panel is designed for outdoor use, the cloth housing should be dried after heavy rain. All specifications are based on manufacturer-provided data and verified information.
