ADDITIONAL CHARGER INFORMATION
AUTOMATIC CHARGING AND BATTERY STATUS MONITORING: The
HYPERION® Solar Charger is completely automatic and may be left connected
to both solar panel and to the battery that it is charging for long periods of time.
However, it is prudent to periodically check both the battery and the charger for
normal operation during these extended charging periods.
The charger output power, voltage, and current all depend on the condition of the
battery that is being charged and the available input power from the solar panel.
HYPERION® Solar Chargers have a status light that indicate the operating mode
of the charger, and the condition of the battery that is connected to the charger.
The charger operates in two charge modes: maximum voltage and current limited
by what the solar panel is able to produce and then maintenance charge mode.
If there is insufficient sun light on the solar panel, the charger will not attempt to
charger or maintain the battery. Once the battery is fully charged, the green
status indicator light will turn on-solid and the charger will switch to a
storage/maintenance charge mode. HYPERION® Solar Chargers will
automatically monitor and maintain the battery at full charge.
The HYPERION® Solar Charger charges at up to 1.0 Amp (1.0 Amp-Hour per
hour). Therefore, a fully discharged 5 Amp-Hour battery will take approximately 5
hours, to recharge to 80% capacity with a HYPERION® Solar connected to the
included 12 Watt panel. Some large automotive or marine, deep cycle type
batteries may take several days to fully recharge. Please note this condition
assumes full sunlight and optimal tilt angle
.
SPECIAL FEATURES: The HYPERION ® Solar Charger has the following
special features:
SPARKPROOF: The battery charger DC output ring terminals must be
connected to a battery before an output voltage is developed by the battery
charger, therefore no spark will be produced.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION: The battery charger can sustain a short circuit
connection directly across its DC output terminals indefinitely without any risk of
either electric shock or excessive heat.
