able to charge the battery. In such case, charge the battery
first by other means for a short period of time to allow the
voltage to reach 9V.
2) At the initial connection stage, keep the solar charging
kit indoors or in an area not exposed to direct sunlight.
Unfold the solar panels, extend the battery leads and
connect the crocodile clips to the + positive (red) and –
negative (black) battery terminals on a 12V lead-acid battery.
Note: If you require a permanent connection between the
controller and the battery or if your battery compartment is
too small for crocodile clips, please replace the crocodile
clips with the ring terminals provided (or purchase an
optional 0.5m lead with a battery plug and
ring terminals from Photonic Universe –
product code CRING40). To replace the
crocodile clips, cut them off and attach the
ring terminals using a crimping tool or
pliers. When the ring terminals are
permanently fixed to your battery, you can
use the battery plug to connect and disconnect the kit.
Note: It is recommended that the kit is always connected to
the battery terminals directly. Unless you are certain, do not
use any existing 12V inputs or sockets (e.g. a cigarette
lighter socket) for connecting the kit because these inputs
or sockets may not be rated / may not have their
connecting cables rated to the required power. Moreover,
such inputs or sockets may be connected via other
electronic components (e.g. ignition or another controller)
which would interfere with the operation of your solar kit.
