Battery selection and management
Battery selection for a battery-only installation
(with the seperately available battery leads)
We recommend using a 12 V rechargeable 300 Ah battery. This is based on a seven day
operating period between battery charging. Although operating time can exceed seven days, this
is likely to cause battery damage and will necessitate frequent replacement of the battery. For best
system reliability and long term battery life, the preferred battery and charging regime is to use a
12 V rechargeable battery and to recharge it when it is half discharged.
Battery management
WARNING!
Batteries contain harmful chemicals and when used incorrectly, may cause injury. Observe the
guidelines for battery care, maintenance and safety in this manual and in the documentation
supplied with your battery.
Battery charging
WARNING!
- Do not attempt to recharge a non-rechargeable battery.
- When recharging a battery, ensure that there is adequate ventilation to allow gases to disperse.
Regular recharging of the battery is essential. Use a suitable safety approved battery charger and
refer to the battery manufacturer's recommendations.
1. A ttach the positive (+) battery charger lead to the positive terminal of the battery, and the
negative (–) battery charger lead to the negative terminal on the battery.
2. C onnect the battery charger's input power plug to a mains or line socket and turn on the power
supply.
CAUTION!
Over-charging the battery will reduce its life. Do not exceed the recommendations of the battery
manufacturer on recharging the battery from a mains-powered source.
Battery care and maintenance

the weather.
• W hen not in use, store the battery fully charged and recharge at regular intervals (every 8
weeks).
• R echarge a discharged battery as soon as possible. Batteries should not be left discharged.
