For example, if you are using 300 Ah battery, then, maximum charging current is 300 x
0.2=60 (A). Please use at least 50Ah battery because the settable minimum value of
charging current is 10A. If using AGM/Gel or other types of battery, please consult with
50
installer for the details.

15. Maintenance & Cleaning
Check the following points to ensure proper operation of whole solar system at regular
intervals.
Ensure all connectors of this inverter are cleaned all the time.
Before cleaning the solar panels, be sure to turn off PV DC breakers.
Clean the solar panels, during the cool time of the day, whenever it is visibly dirty.
Periodically inspect the system to make sure that all wires and supports are
securely fastened in place.
WARNING: There are no user-replaceable parts inside of the inverter. Do not attempt
to service the unit yourself.
Battery Maintenance
Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions.
When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or
battery packs.
The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
a) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
b) Use tools with insulated handles.
c) Wear rubber gloves and boots.
d) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
e) Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.
f) Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded,
remove source from ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result
in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are
removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to equipment and remote
battery supplies not having a grounded supply circuit).
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit
current.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to
the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
