Solar Backup System

Solar Backup System

Materials

You can also buy the solar panel and charge controller as a kit if you want.

Build Instructions

  1. Attach the three (1 is included in the Battery Tender Jr. kit) ring terminal quick disconnects to the battery.

  2. Attach the two cigarette adapters to two of the quick disconnects. The third quick disconnect is for the wall Battery Tender Jr. wall charger.

  3. If you bought the panel and charger separately then connect the solar panel to the charger using the appropriately labled terminals.

  4. Attach the charge controller to the battery using the alligator clips that came with the charge controller. (I will eventually replace the aligator clips with a quick disconnect.)
