Charging the Battery
Every Spider incorporates an internal battery management system
supporting 12-volt sealed lead acid batteries with capacities up to 10
ampere hours. It provides all facilities required for a sophisticated
power system, while requiring a minimum number of external
components. Simply connect a battery to the battery connector and a
solar panel or an AC charger to the charger connector. No external
regulator is necessary.
Solar Power
A solar panel, sized by user for the available sun-days, can connect
directly to the CHG port on the Spider. The BATT connector can
accept a rechargeable battery up to 10 ampere hours in size. If the
application requires larger batteries and/or a longer backup capacity,
the user is responsible for sizing and coordinating the appropriate
panel, charging regulator, and battery storage. ADS neither sells nor
supplies these components.
Please observe the correct polarity, as shown on the label next to the
terminal blocks, when connecting batteries and chargers to the
Spider.
