DC Charging Adapter
The DC charging adapter is a cord with a fused DC accessory plug, fused at 10 amps to prevent
damage if there is an inadvertent short.
To charge the Lithium Cube using the DC Charging Adapter:
ONLY USE THE DC CHARGING ADAPTER SUPPLIED WITH THIS UNIT. DO NOT CONTINUOUSLY CHARGE FOR MORE THAN
16 HOURS USING THE DC TO DC METHOD.
1. Note that the engine must be running while charging the Solar Lithium Cube to avoid
discharging the vehicle's battery.
2. Plug the DC charging adapter into the Lithium Cube's DC input port.
3. Plug the other end of the DC charging adapter into the vehicle's accessory socket
(cigarette lighter socket).
4. After charging the battery, disconnect the DC charging adapter from the vehicle
accessory socket first, then from the Lithium Cube DC socket.
Do not leave the Lithium Cube connected to your vehicle's DC socket when the engine is
turned off.
CAUTION—EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
•
Always remove the DC Charging Adapter from the vehicle's DC socket before starting
the vehicle.
•
Disconnect the Lithium Cube from the vehicle's DC socket when the engine is turned off.
Charging With Solar Panels
The Lithium Cube's DC input circuit is designed to maximize the charging profile based on the
available power supplied, whether charging by the AC charger or solar panels via the Anderson
port.
CAUTION—SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER LIMIT:
The solar charge controller is rated at a maximum of 100W @ 12V and 200W @24V for solar
panels. Do not exceed these limits.
Solar Panel Positioning
To ensure maximum power from the solar panels, position the panels perpendicular to the
position of the sun. For best results, the solar panels should be in line with the expected path
of the sun. Panel placement varies depending on your location. It is recommended that panel
positions are checked and adjusted every 3 hours to ensure solar absorption is optimized.
CAUTION—EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
When adding solar panels, make sure the solar panels are rated for 12V or 24V systems. If
you are connecting multiple solar panels to the solar panel terminals, make sure the combined
voltage is no greater than 40V.
