This manual will give you all of the essential information you need to own and
operate your new KickAss 20/40A DCDC Charger with MPPT Solar Controller.
The purpose & features of the KickAss 20/40A DCDC Charger with MPPT Solar
Controller:
u
Can charge multiple battery types:
Compatible with GEL, AGM, WET, CALCIUM or Lithium LiFePO
u
Prevent your auxiliary battery from draining your start battery:
Built-in voltage sensing will ensure your start battery charges your auxiliary battery
when the vehicle is running. It will then disconnect the start battery from the
auxiliary battery when the vehicle is not running.
u
Ensure your auxiliary battery is being fully charged and maintained:
Most modern vehicles (especially those manufactured after 2010) do not provide
the correct voltages and charge control to safely and completely charge your
auxiliary battery. The Charger overcomes this issue by boosting the charge voltage
to an optimal output level while ensuring your auxiliary battery is safely charged via
its multi-stage charge algorithm.
u
When your vehicle is not charging, charge from the built-in MPPT solar
controller:
Maximum power point tracking is the most efficient type of solar controller and
allows you obtain the maximum amount of charge from your solar panels. When
your vehicle is not doing the charging, the built-in MPPT solar controller will let your
solar panels do the work.
