Tips: Maximize the usage of your KISAE Home Solar Kit
During times of power outage, here are some tips to maximize your run times for key
back-up power applications:

Do not leave appliances on when not in use because they will drain the internal

battery

For computer use, use laptop, or desktop computer with LCD monitor instead of

desktop computers with CRT monitor.

Use small televisions instead of big screen TV’s

Use small desk lamps (25 to 40 W) instead of high-wattage lamps.

Battery Replacement
The battery box contains a 60AH battery. Qualified battery/electronic technician is
required to replaced the battery. To replace the battery, please contact customer service
for details.
