Choosing A Battery; Duralite Kit Wiring Diagram - Dometic Go Power! DURALITE 100 User Manual

3. CHOOSING A BATTERY

The GP-PWM-30-DL is suitable for use with lead acid batteries (vented, GEL, or AGM type) as well as some lithium iron phosphate
(LiFePO4) batteries that are supplied with a Battery Management System (BMS). If using lithium ion, it must be lithium iron phos-
phate (LiFePO4) chemistry with a BMS. No other chemistries are compatible.
Lithium batteries usually have maximum allowed charge currents. These maximums typically decrease in cold temperatures. THE
GP-PWM-30-DL does not limit current for these restrictions, and system design of the solar array must account for this.
Be sure to follow all battery manufacturer safety instructions.

The GP-PWM-30-DL maximum 37.5A rating is based on a 30-amp total maximum short circuit current rating (Isc) from the solar
modules nameplate ratings. The National Electric Code specifies the PV equipment/system rating to be 125% of the maximum Isc
from the PV module ratings (1.25 times 30 = 37.5A). E.G. Three modules in parallel with an Isc of 7 amps each equal a total Isc
input of 21 amps. When selecting PV modules for use with the GP-PWM-30-DL, do not exceed a total nameplate Isc current of 30A.
Solar modules list the Isc amps on their nameplate label.
The controller will not work unless there is a battery connected to the Battery 1 terminals.
Note
WARNING: When the photovoltaic (solar) array is exposed to light, it supplies a dc voltage to this equipment.
