Please note that in some applications like in Portable Solar Charging Kits, solar panel(s)
will be permanently connected to the input terminals of the Charge Controller and the
battery will be connected whenever the Portable Charging Kit is required to be used.
In these applications, the modules will start generating power as soon as these are ex-
posed to sunlight. However, there will be no power output from the Charge Controller
until the controller is connected to the battery. The following spurious LeD indications
may be seen at the Charge Controller and may be disregarded:

Module(s) are exposed to Sunlight and battery has not been connected

• No LED indication

Module(s) are exposed to Sunlight, battery is Connected and then removed.

• “PV” LED:
