Baery Tips!
• The baery indicator on your control panel will show how much energy is le in your baery bank. It is important to note that
it does NOT explicitly show how much useable power is le in your baeries.
• You have a 300 amp baery system. AGM baeries are able to reliably put out over 12.0v of power for 50% of their capacity.
Most 12v appliances will require a 12volt output from the baeries to work. This means you 150 usable amp hours from a
fully charge set of baeries. The indicator on your control panel will show you how much total energy you have in your enre
baery bank. This means that when your indicator shows 50% you have used all of the usable power within your baery
bank. If you connue to drain power from your baeries beyond this point can and will most likely cause damage to your
baery bank.
• AGM baery lifespans are longer when they remain at full charge. Frequently discharging your baeries and leaving them
empty will accelerate the degradaon process of your baeries and reduce their lifespan. The NOCO Genius charger
installed in your OP15 will control the amount of charge delivered to your baeries so that they do not over charge, therefore
you can leave your OP15 plugged in at all mes when at home.
• If you are not keeping your OP15 plugged in whilst at home we recommend that you disconnect your baeries to maintain
good baery health. Please see the *care and maintenance secon for more informaon on this topic.
• The CO/LP alarm is wired directly to the baeries. This means that turning the power to the OP15 o on the control panel will
NOT shut power o to the CO Alarm. Please follow the winterizaon process for baery care to ensure you are fully
disconnecng the baeries during long periods of storage.
• Always set your fridge to ‘LO’ before heading out on your trip. This will use less power from your baery and allow you
longer o-site camping.
Solar Power
There are three 100 wa solar panels mounted to the roof of the OP15 with a 30amp solar
charge controller installed. During the day with adequate sunlight, the solar panels will
automacally trickle charge your baeries. We recommend reading the user manual for your
solar panels & charge controller in full to understand the capabilies and sengs for the
solar panels and charge controller.
12 Volt Baery Power cont.
On the control panel you will nd the main 12v ON/OFF switch. There are sepa-
rate switches for the following 12volt operated appliances and systems in the
OP15: Fridge, Sockets, Lights, Water Pump.
The OP15 has two 12v outlets for the interior TV hookup, two for the exterior TV
hookup and one exterior 12v socket by the kitchen. The internal and external
lights for your OP15 are all 12v LED. They can all be switched on or o inde-
pendently either on the light itself or on via a switch in the OP15.
