This product is included in the options pack and is really handy and easy to use. This product is used to maintain charge
in your batteries whilst you are off-grid and stationary. Its perfect for when you arrive at your destination and want your
batteries charged without having to run your vehicle alternators or if you don’t have access to a 240v outlet.
How to Use this Product:
-
Simply unpack the blanket and either attach it to the annex pole tip of your annex or lay it on the ground or
across the windshield of your car and angle it towards the sun
-
Connect the Anderson plug of the solar blanket to the Anderson plug on the a-frame of the trailer or van
-
Turn the Master Power Switch on the Control Panel to allow the battery charger to regulate the solar power to
12v DC
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
It is important to understand that the ability of the solar blanket to charge your batteries is impacted by the strength of
the suns rays, the direction that the blanket is facing in relation to the sun’s position and the amount of usage of the
batteries by you as the operator. You may find that with heavy usage of the batteries to run, tv’s, dvds, inverters, lights
and fridges that the batteries will continue to drain due to the amperage usage being higher than the solar charge input.
If this occurs you either need to reduce the usuge to allow the batteries time to charge up or you need to increase the
power into the batteries by way of larger wattage solar blankets, or running you vehicle alternator connected to the
trailer or van via the Anderson plug or by use of a petrol or diesel generator.
