AA Portable Power Corp GVB-8-Pb-12V Quick Start Manual

Safety Instructions:
This manual contains important instructions for the GV-Boost GVB-8-Pb-**V and GVB-8-Li-**.*V
solar charge controllers that shall be followed during installation and maintenance. Various models
of the GVB are available to charge different battery types as follows:
• GVB‐8‐Pb‐12V:
• GVB‐8‐Pb‐24V:
• GVB‐8‐Pb‐36V:
• GVB‐8‐Pb‐48V:
• GVB‐8‐Li‐**.*V:
Consult your battery charging specifications to ensure that the GVB is compatible with your chosen
batteries.
Carefully follow these instructions.
CAUTION for the GVB-8-Pb-**V(lead-acid Versions only):
Internal temperature Compensation. Risk of Fire, use Within 0.3 m (1 ft) of Batteries.

LITHIUM WARNING:
CC/CV charging profile
ensure that the CV voltage is correct. Further check that
and controller is within the battery specified design limits.
LITHIUM BMS WARNING:
capable of disconnecting the solar charge controller in the event that any cell in the pack is
outside of its rated temperature, current, or
damage, injury or death. Highly recommends the use of a Bms with
balancing is mandatory for lithium-iron phosphate systems.
Use only 10-30 AWG copper conductors suitable for a minimum of 60 degrees C. If operation at
high power or at high ambient temperatures is expected, wire with a higher temperature rating
may be necessary.
Inspection & Maintenance
Inspect the controller at least once per year to ensure proper performance.
• Check for animal or insect damage.
• Inspect for corrosion / water damage.
• Inspect the security of all connections.
