I am thinking of doing exactly what you have done to your 2207 to my 2207 ... any advice?

Hi All,

Just had a replacement 15 amp solar power panel installed along with a new 7 amp charge controller. The instruction manual says (for safety reasons) to make sure the panel is not in use while using the vehicle. It gives no further explanation. The charge controller manual doesn't specifically say it will also function as a battery isolator.

Anyone have any insight as to what could be the safety issue? I'm wondering if I should install a disconnect switch between the charge controller and the batteries.

Jim

With any electrical item, if it fails shorts out and damages something they could be sued. There for they say turn it off. Hi-Lo also installed a master shut off switch probably for the same reason. It's up too you.
