FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
ICP Global Technologies USA
Customer service: customers @ icpglobal.com Champlain, NY 12919
Q1: What types of batteries can I trickle charge?
You can trickle charge all types of 12 Volt batteries including lead-acid automotive batteries, deep cycle
(traction ty pe) batteries, gel-cell batteries, and heavy-duty (stationary type) batteries.
Q2: How long will it take for the BatterySAVER PRO5W to charge a dead battery?
The PRO5W is designed to trickle charge batteries. Batteries have a natural rate of discharge, which
varies depending on battery type, age and condition. The natural rate of loss on new batteries can be as
high as 5% or more. The BatterySAVER PRO5W is designed to compensate for these losses in addition
to losses due to on board electronic instrumentat ion. In an automobile, truck or RV it may be clocks and
alarms that drains your battery. The BatterySAVER PRO5W will replenish these losses so that you can
rely on a full battery after long periods of storage. If you would like to recharge a depleted battery, we
suggest you try the ICP BatterySAVER PRO15W solar panels.
Q3: Can I trickle charge more than one battery at a time with the BatterySAVER PRO5W?
The BatterySAVER PRO5W is able to trickle charge more than one battery at a time. However keep in
mind that the charge will be split between the batteries included. Therefore, depending on the age, size,
discharge rate and condition of the battery, you may be able to trickle charge up to 6 small batteries such
as those for motorcycles and ATV’s etc and up to 3 automotive batteries.
Q4: Do I need a charge controller with a BatterySAVER PRO5W?
No. A charge controller is needed for the BatterySAVER PRO15W (15 Watt) panel or greater. The
BatterySAVER PRO5W panel is not powerful enough to overcharge your battery.
Q5: Can the BatterySAVER PRO5W drain my battery at night?
No. All ICP Solar panels are equipped with a built -in diode, which prevents any reverse current.
Q6: Can my panel be left outdoors without protective covering?
Yes, the PRO5W panels have been weather protected and can be mounted outdoors. ICP PRO5W
panels are completely weatherproofed and can withstand ½ inch hailstones, up to180°F heat and operate
under 3 inches of snow (on sunny days).
Q7: Can I mount the solar panel directly to a surface or do I need to use some sort of bracket?
ICP Solar panels can be installed directly to a flat surface, using the screws provided. Simply secure the
panel using the mounting holes at each corner. Should the mounting surface be rubberized, we suggest
that you use rubber spacers to create an air gap between the two surfaces (to prevent heat build-up when
exposed to high temperature conditions).
Q8: Can I run an appliance, without a battery, by connecting it directly to my solar panel?
Yes. However, without a bat tery to store the power, the voltage and current supplied by the solar panel
may vary and drop as soon as some clouds pass over, possibly causing your appliance to slow or stop
working. Running directly from the solar panel may be perfect for an application that is designed to only
work on sunny days, like a solar operated fan. In most cases however, users connect solar panels to 12
Volt batteries, which then provides steady reliable power to the 12 Volt appliances. In addition, for the
appliance to work directly from the panel, it must be designed to operate within the maximum voltage and
amperage range of the PRO5W. (350mAmps @ 15 Volts max.)
Q9: Can the wiring be extended?
You can extend the wiring of our solar chargers up to 35 feet, using 16-gauge wire, without any significant
loss of power.
Q10: Can I install a cigarette lighter connector to my BatterySAVER PRO5W panel?
Yes. However for safety, please make sure to include a 5 Amp fuse on the positive wire.
