8 Amp Charge Controller
To Install:
Mounting:
Consider the location – ideally placed within 2 ‐5 feet of battery,
in a well protected dry place, free from moisture and weather.
This product is designed to be flush mounted or wall mounted.
Connection:
Step 1: connect the charge controller tothe battery
Using “to Battery” wire, connect thebattery clamp adapters to
the charge controller. (J‐Plug to J‐Plug shown Fig. 1). Next,
Connect red positive(+) battery clamp to the positive(+) battery
terminal. Then connect the negative(‐) battery clamp to the
negative (‐) battery terminal.
Step 2: connect the charge controller tothe solar panel
Using “to Solar Panel” wire on the charge controller. Connect JPlug
to the solar panel J‐ Plug. (J‐Plug to J‐Plug shown Fig. 1).
WARNING: Connections must be placed in orderand ensure
that the positive (+) matches the positive(+)and the negative
(‐) matches the negative (‐). (Connectionsare in Parallel)
Wrong connections may cause damage to partsor all of the
system.

Confirm that connections are tight and secure.
Connecting Multiple Solar Panels?
Contact Nature Power for 3 ‐in‐1 J‐Plug connection wire, or
more information on connecting multiple solar panels.
Product Description:
Any solar panel that is rated 12 watts or higher requires the use
of a charge controller. Nature Power Solar panels and charge
controllers come equipped with easy j‐plug adapters. The 8
Amp Charge controller is designed to protect your 12 Volt
batteries from being overcharge by high voltage surges and
prevents discharging of the battery overnight. LED lights display
battery “Charged” or battery “Charging”. Never deeply
discharge your battery; never let your battery voltage pass
below 11.0 volts. It will cause permanent damage to the
battery. Use a DMM (Digital Multi‐Meter) to measure your
battery’s voltage. When connecting and during operation it is
normal for both lights to flicker for a short time.
IMPORTANT:
Observe manufacturer’s safety procedures when
working around batteries and other electrical
equipment
Always connect charge controller to the battery first
and remove last.
This product is designed to be used on 12 volt
configurations in parallel, (optional 6 volt in series)
This product is designed to receive charges from 12
Volt Solar Panels
This product should be placed in a well ventilated dry
area, free from flammable gases, weather, and moister
Charge controller is NOT weatherproof
Charge controller should not be installed further than 2
to 5 ft. wayfrom the battery. Solar Panel length must
not reach further than 20 ftway from battery or loss of
current may occur.
LED light indicates a full battery charge “green” at 14.2
Volts, at this time the charge controller will cut out to
prevent overcharging
LED light indicates battery charging “yellow” when
battery reaches below 13 Volts, charge controller will
cut in and allow solar panel to being charging
Charge controller can handle up to 130 Watts of solar
power
