Getting Started: Charging your Battery Generator

IMPORTANT: your Battery Generator should be placed in a dry, well ventilated area with at least 6 inches of space on all sides for proper ventilation.

BEFORE YOU START: See “Safety Information” section for important precautions. The user should conform to all safety precautions in the guide. Keep this guide in a safe place for future reference.

IMPORTANT - CHARGE BEFORE USE: Fully charge your Battery Generator before using it and/or storing it. Keep the unit plugged in when not in use

so it is ready when you need it. The charger is designed to maintain the battery in a healthy state.

Your Battery Generator can be charged from grid power (AC) or solar energy (solar panels).

• When it is being charged and discharged (used to power your items) at the same time:

• If the input power (charging your Battery Generator) is greater than the output power (used to power your items), the intelligent LCD screen will show the “Hours to Full”.

• If the input power (charging your Battery Generator) is less than the output power (used to power your items), the intelligent LCD screen will show the “Hours to Empty”.

• The LCD screen stays on during charging but it can be turned off by pressing the DISPLAY button below the screen.

If your Battery Generator is fully discharged (0% available power), the intelligent LCD screen will be completely dark. This screen will illuminate as soon as your Battery Generator is connected to power, letting you

know that the unit is charging, and will continually display the growing power status as your Battery Generator charges.
