Connecting the battery

As explained in chapter 2.3, it is important to first connect the battery to the solar charger by placing
the battery fuse or close the circuit breaker. When the battery is connected, the solar charger will
automatically detect the battery's nominal voltage. After this, the battery status and battery type
LEDs will be lit.
The battery status LED globally indicates the battery's condition. It can light in the following colors:
