MAY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH.
•NEVER charge a frozen battery.
BEFORE CHARGING
• To avoid an electric arc (or spark), turn off or disconnect all of the
accessories in the boat or vehicle. Always remove the cable that is
connected to grounded terminal from battery first.
• Make sure the area around the battery is well-ventilated while the
battery is being charged. If necessary, use a non-metallic material to
fan away the gas in the area.
• If necessary, clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep the
corrosion and other debris from coming in contact with your skin or
eyes.
• If the battery is not a sealed battery, add distilled water to each cell (if
necessary) until the battery acid solution reaches the level specified by
battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps,
such as a valve regulated lead-acid battery (VRLA), carefully follow
the battery manufacturer's charging instructions.
• Before charging, carefully read the battery manufacturer's specific
precautions and recommended rates of charge.
• Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the boat's or
vehicle's owner's manual and make sure that the battery charger has
compatible voltages.
LOCATING BATTERY CHARGER
• Locate the battery charger as far away from the battery as possible.
• Never place the battery charger directly above the battery; gases
from battery will corrode and damage battery charger.
• When reading electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery, never allow
battery acid to come in contact with the battery charger.
• Do not operate the battery charger in a closed-in area or an area with
restricted ventilation.
• Do not set a battery on top of battery charger.
BATTERY SPECS
The following recommendations should ONLY be considered
as guidelines. Always refer to the battery manufacturer's
recommendations for battery charging. The Battery Life Solar Battery
Chargers are suitable for charging all types of 12V lead-acid batteries,
including Wet (Flooded), Gel, MF (Maintenance-Free) and AGM
(Absorption Glass Mat) batteries. The Battery Life Solar Battery
Chargers can be used on battery sizes from 1.2 to 10Ah (1.2 to 20Ah
with BLSOLAR5), but can also maintain all battery sizes.
BATTERY LIFE
HELPFUL TIP
For extra waterproofing and to extend the life of the
panel, run a silicone bead around the edges of the inside
frame.
BATTERY LIFE
FLEET MAINTENANCE KIT
If you purchased the Battery Life Fleet Maintenance Kit, you
have extra accessories that require special instructions.
BL Silicone Feet:
The (4) BL Silicone Feet can be used to help protect delicate
surfaces from damage. Simply push the feet through the
bottom of the mounting holes on the solar panel in a twisting
motion. To remove, pull the top and bottom at the same time,
while twisting gently.
Female to Dual Male Splitter + Extension Cord:
The splitter is only for voltage monitoring. DO NOT
CONNECT MORE THAN ONE BATTERY THROUGH THE
SPLITTER. THIS CAN DAMAGE THE SOLAR CHARGER,
ACCESSORIES AND BATTERIES. Connect the extension
cord to the splitter and run the cord to a convenient location to
easily access the end for voltage testing. Testing the system's
voltage periodically will help insure the battery is being fully
maintained.
CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY
Before you connect to the battery(s), make sure that the solar battery
charger is not connected to any accessories. DO NOT CONNECT THE
Battery Life SOLAR BATTERY CHARGER TO ANY ACCESSORIES
UNTIL ALL OTHER CONNECTIONS ARE MADE. If using the Battery
Clamp Connector (included) or Eyelet Terminal Connector (sold
separately), be certain you have identified the correct polarity of the
battery terminals on the battery(s). ACCIDENTALLY CONNECTING
THE CHARGER IN REVERSE POLARITY (POSITIVE TO NEGATIVE
AND NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE) CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO
THE CHARGER. A REVERSE POLARITY CONDITION COULD
GENERATE A SPARK AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION, WHICH MAY
RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PERSONAL PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. The POSITIVE battery terminal is
typically marked by these letters or symbols (POS,P,+). The NEGATIVE
battery terminal is typically marked by these letters or symbols
(NEG,N,-). If you are having difficulty determining the polarity of the
battery terminals, contact the battery manufacturer before proceeding.
