SolarFlat includes blocking diode to prevent  
reverse current.  
Solar Controller should be placed within 5ft of  
the battery, and in a dry, well-ventilated area.  
It is strongly recommended to use a 7 Amp Solar  
Charge Controller to prevent battery overcharge.  
This unit is sold separately.  
Supports up to 105 Watts of power. Not  
advisable to use with greater wattage.

FAQs:  
1. What type of batteries can my SolarFlat 5 charge?  
1. How many panels can I connect to my Solar  
Controller Charger?  
1. Can I use the panel outdoors?  
1. Can I use the panel outdoors?  
A. All 12V batteries like ones used in cars,  
boats, RV’s, motorcycles and PWC’s.  
A. Yes, this panel has been weatherproofed.  
2. What type of batteries can my SolarFlat 2 charge?  
A. Yes, this panel has been weatherproofed,  
including UV protection and for weather  
effects of -35° F to 175 ° F.  
A. You can connect up to 105 watts of solar  
power. Panels should be connected in  
parallel – positive to positive and negative  
to negative.  
2. Can I overcharge my battery?  
A. All 12V batteries like ones used in cars,  
boats, RV’s, motorcycles and PWC’s.  
2. Will panel drain battery at night?  
A. Yes! It is recommended to use our 7 Amp  
Solar Controller to not overcharge the battery  
A. No, this panel includes a battery diode to  
prevent battery drain and reverse current.  
2. When will the Charging Indication light (green)  
light up?  
3. Can I overcharge my battery?  
3. Will the SolarFlat15 keep my battery fully  
charged?  
A. The SolarFlat 2 has a built in blocking diode  
that prevents battery discharge and  
overcharging.  
3. What type of batteries can my SolarFlat 5 charge?  
A. Any deep cycle 12V battery.  
A. The charging controller indication green  
light will light up when the battery voltage  
reaches 14.2 Volts and the SCC will prevent  
the solar panels from overcharging the  
battery. It is normal for the SCC LED to  
light on and off as the battery voltage cuts in  
and out.  
A. Yes, using the power of the sun, the  
SolarFlat 15 will keep a battery charged.  
4. Will the SolarFlat 2 keep my battery fully charged? 4. How long will it take to charge a battery?  
4. How long does it take to charge a dead battery?  
A. The Maintainer charges your battery with the  
power of the sun. It compensates for key  
offdrain and long periods of non-use and on  
board electronics. It is designed to maintain  
batteries.  
A. Under ideal conditions, this panel will  
generate up to 300 mAmps of current. A 5W  
panel is not designed to charge batteries, but  
only trickle charge batteries thereby insuring  
quick starts.  
A. Under ideal conditions, this panel will  
generate up to 900 mAmps of current. A 40  
Amp Hr. battery at 50% would take 20 Hrs.  
By doubling the amount of panels, you would  
reduce the time by half.  
5. How long does it take to charge a dead battery?  
5. Can I run appliances off this panel?  
5. Can I extend the wire?  
A. The unit is designed to maintain batteries  
only. If the battery is dead, we recommend a  
larger output solar charger such as the 5W or  
15W Brunton SolarFlats.  
A. Yes, however, the current will vary depending  
on the sunlight. Charging a battery is  
therefore the recommended installation and  
running protocol  
A. The 12ft wires can be extended up to a  
maximum of 30ft. with 16 gauge wire.  
6. How many batteries can I using 1 unit?  
6. Can I extend the wire?  
6. Do I need a Solar Controller?  
A. The SolarFlat 15 is capable of charging a  
bank of batteries, but the charge will be  
divided.  
A. The 12’ wire can be extended up to 25’  
without loss of power of voltage damage.  
A. No, a charge controller is only recommended  
for panels greater than 15W.  
7. Can this solar charger run my house?  
7. How far can I extend the wire?  
A. No, the panel is best used to charge 12V  
batteries  
A. Current length should accommodate 95% of  
installations, however, wires can be extended  
up to a maximum of 30ft. with 16 gauge wire.  
8. Is the my solar charger weatherproof?  
A. Yes, this panel is fully weatherproof.
