1. b For detailed voltage reading you may use a voltmeter in the multi port to check battery status even when the kit is off c The battery status indicator will rarely be completely illuminated as this is 14 5 volts Even if you are charging and do see this completely illuminated when you take the kit off charge the batteries will normalize and the meter will settle down a couple bars This is completely normal As long as you operate within the normal range your kit is charged as expected Do not allow water to penetrate the interior of the kit A little water on the dashboard will not harm the kit but submerging the electronics may damage the inverter beyond our capacity to service it Do not under any circumstance attempt to plug something into the kits inverter and turn it on if the kit has become water logged This kit generates electric current Always remember that water and electricity don t mix The solar panel s are sealed and may be exposed to water rain amp snow but to extend the life of these products we recommend only exposing the panels during the time you are charging the batteries or running the kit in daylight Periodic durations in variable weather conditions are acceptable but leaving the a Si folding panels exposed to the elements for extended periods weeks years will result in natural material fatigue When your case is being stored store the panel s inside with the case Keep your panels clean for the best p
2. During recharge a battery at 60 SDL is actually 40 discharged this is the value we need to use when figuring recharge time These formulas are average estimates There are potentially many other factors that can affect your calculations including battery age number of cycles it s been through Over time this will affect the performance of the battery and as such we can expect the time derived from this formula to expand To use these formulas you have to know how to find the Amperage Watts and Volts of whatever it is you want to run There are several online conversion calculators Look at the back of the device or the power adapter There will be a label that gives the INPUT Voltage and having this info allows you to find o Amps Watts Volts o Watts Volts Amps o Volts Watts Amps Perigee Power Solutions Solar Power Kit User Manual Warranty Perigee Power Solutions shall provide quality products at fair prices We personally test each component we use in our kits and maintain a process based upon fundamentals that verify we build our products right and that we built the right product If you ever encounter a problem with our products let us know as soon as possible We promise to work with you on a case by case basis to resolve issues if they should arise Limited Warranty Returns are accepted within 14 days of purchase for a refund Perigee Power Solutions warrants kits for 90 days against defects in workmanship for
