Battery information

Battery charging
The solar panel can fully charge a flat battery in
two weeks, provided the energizer is switched
off and there is adequate sunlight. The battery
can also be charged using a 12 V battery charger
suitable for charging rechargeable, lead-acid
batteries. This should have an output voltage of
13.8 V and output current not exceeding 1 A.
When fully charged, the battery should be able
to power the energizer for over three weeks
(0.15 J model) or two weeks (0.5 J model) with
no sunlight.
Warning!
The battery must be disconnected
and removed from the energizer before
connecting it to a battery charger.
Replacing the battery
If a replacement battery is required, use a 12 V,
7 Ah, rechargeable lead-acid battery (suitable for
all models). Do not use a non-rechargeable
battery.
Do not dispose of the battery in a land-fill or in a
fire.
In the event of a spill or leakage from a lead-
acid battery:
Contain small spills with dry sand, earth

and vermiculite. Do not use combustible
materials. If possible, carefully neutralise
spilled acid with soda ash, sodium
bicarbonate, lime, etc.
 Wear acid-resistant clothing, boots, gloves
and a face shield.
Do not let acid get into the sewerage

system.
 Neutralised acid must be managed in
accordance with approved local, state and
federal requirements. Consult your state
environmental agency and/or federal EPA.
