Bypassing The Internal Battery

The Solar e Power Cube's internal battery can be bypassed to use the Inverter or battery charg-
ing functions without using the internal battery. This feature can be used if the internal battery is
not available to power AC or DC appliances. To bypass the internal battery:
1. Turn OFF the Battery Disconnect Switch.
2. Connect external batteries to the Battery Terminals.
3. Operate the Solar e Power Cube as normal depending on your needs.
Note: It is important to not exceed a total of 110 amp hours of battery when using the supplied 5
amp AC charger.

ADDING SOLAR PANELS

There are two ways to add more panels to the Solar e Power Cube. One way is to add panels
using the internal Solar Charge Controller observing the controller's wattage/amp limits. If the
Solar e Power Cube has external batteries with capacities greater than 55 amp hours, adding
additional solar panels with total wattage greater than 150 watts can be accomplished by using
solar panels with an external controller.

Using The Internal Solar Charge Controller

Additional solar panels can be connected to the Solar e Power Cube using the Solar Panel
Terminals. Adding solar panels can reduce battery charging time. The internal Solar Charge
Controller is rated at a maximum of 10A with panel voltages between 16 to 22 volts. Do not
connect more than 150W of solar panels, including the 80W panels that are supplied. Doing so
will cause an overload on the Solar Charge Controller and cease the charging process.

User-Supplied External Controller and Solar Panels

Additional solar panels, if equipped with their own solar charge controller, can be connected
via the Battery Terminals. However it is recommended that total power charging the internal bat-
teries does not exceed 10 amps with the Battery Disconnect Switch ON (closed).
If external batteries, solar panels greater than 150 watts and an external solar charge controller
are to be connected to the Solar e Power Cube via the Battery Terminals, the Battery Disconnect
Switch must be OFF (open) to avoid overcharging the internal battery.

MAINTENANCE

Maintaining the Solar e Power Cube in good operating condition is relatively simple. Charge the
battery until full as often as possible and keep all surfaces free of dust and dirt.

Cleaning

With the Solar e Power Cube disconnected from all electrical cords and the fans OFF, you may
carefully vacuum the vents to remove dust.
