A.2.2 Sunlight Hours
You are encouraged to take advantage of the most daylight, direct sun
for your area. To better understand your sunlight, refer to

A.2.3 Alternative Solar Panel
The NMS045 system can support a solar panel that is <140 W.
A.2.4 Two Battery System
The NMS045 can support two 12 V batteries of the same chemistry.
Before installation ensure both batteries are charged equally. You risk
blowing a fuse if the one is depleted and one is charged, once
connected to the system.
A.3 Shipping Information
A.3.1 Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery (LiFePo)
CAUTION Do not ship BAT019
without proper certification.
The BAT019 LiFePo is considered Class 9 Hazardous Material, and
additional requirements will need to be met when shipping. A company
and/or individual will need to be 49 CFR and IATA certified to be able to
ship the BAT019 (which is a lithium battery over 100 W Hr). Additionally,
recertification is required every two years.
Licensing can be obtained through a training course, such as the Lion
Technology online training course - code #HMT 254 “Shipping Lithium
Batteries”.
