EPROPULSION Solar Charge Controller User Manual
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing ePropulsion Solar Charge Controller. This solar charge controller is specially designed for SPIRIT Battery. Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology (efficiency ≥99.9%) precisely positions the maximum power point of PV cells thus drawing more Photovoltaic energy. With improved system efficiency, the charging conversion efficiency reaches as high as 90%. The controller is not only designed to work perfectly with a wide variety of solar panels with input voltage ≤ 35V eg.e Propulsion Foldable Solar Panel, but also can get power from other sources with input voltage of 12V DC.

Operations
-
Step 1: Connecting to SPIRIT Battery.
-
Step 2: Connecting to Power Source
1. **Connecting to a Solar Panel** Connect the solar charge controller to the solar panel.
Input voltage of solar panel should be ≤ 35V
2. **Connecting to 12V Power Source** First Connect the solar charge controller with the 12V Input Cable, then
connect the 12V Input Cable to the 12V power source on your boat or car.
**** If the red light blinks when well connected, it indicates the charger is in charging mode. When fully charged, the light turns steady green.
**** The maximum input charging current is 10A, so if connected to a 12V power source, the maximum input power will be 120w.
LED Indicator
There is a bio-colored LED indicating mode of the solar charger.
