It is imperative that you replace the zinc on your lift regularly. Because many external factors affect the rate at which a zinc deteriorates, Sunstream recommends that you check its condition frequently, and change the zinc every six months or more often if needed. Zincs on lifts in coastal areas near the ocean deteriorate more rapidly and need to be changed more frequently.

Battery Capacity: The FL10014 was tested to have an energy capacity of approximately 8 full cycles at using a new battery with a reserve capacity of 160 Ah. However, try to not dip below 50% battery capacity, since the solar panel would have difficulty in recovering from such a deep draw.
