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
- Connecting to a Solar Panel
Connect the solar charge controller to the solar panel.
Input voltage of solar panel should be ≤ 35V - 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.
- Connecting to a Solar Panel
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.
LED Color | LED Status | Mode |
Green | Flashing light | Standby |
| Green | Steady light | Fully Charged |
Red | Flashing Light | Abnormal |
| Red | Steady Light | Charging |
Notes
- Do not puncture, throw, drop, bend or modify the Solar Charge Controller.
- The controller should be used in well ventilated, dry, particle free environment.
- The controller should avoid direct sun exposure.
- The aluminum case is an important means of heat dissipation, thus should not be covered.
- Opening the housing of the charger without prior written consent of the manufacturer voids the manufacturer’s warranty immediately.
