Page 5: Maintenance
CHARGING Keeping the batteries charged depends on how much charge (current used over time) is used by the system and how much sunlight is available to enable the solar panel to replace depleted charge. In a typical installation with no accessories, the operator requires 6 hours of charging in any given 48 hour period to maintain adequate battery charge indefinitely (assumes 8 cycles per day). - Page 6 INSTALL BATTERY BOX Location The battery box must be located within 10' of the operator control box. The box must be located in a place where it cannot be damaged due to flooding, excessive contact or by being knocked over. Place battery box either on the ground or a stable platform (not provided).
