15. BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIRS
15.1 When a maintaining or charging problem arises, make certain that the battery is capable
of accepting a normal charge. Double check all connections, the solar panel clips for
correct polarity and the quality of the connections from the cables to the clips and from
the clips to the battery system. The clips must be clean.
15.2 When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulfated, it will not draw the full rated
amperes from the solar panel. It is both dangerous and damaging to a battery to force
higher amperage into it than it can effectively use in recharging.
15.3 When an UNKNOWN OPERATING PROBLEM arises, please read the complete manual
and call the customer service number for information. This will usually eliminate the
need for return.
If the above solutions do not eliminate the problem or for information about troubleshooting,
call toll-free from anywhere in the U.S.A.
