6. Ntuziaka ọrụ
6.1. Battery Type Selection
Pịa "HỌRỌ" button on the charger to cycle through and choose the appropriate battery type for your auxiliary battery (AGM, Gel, Calcium, Lead Acid, or LiFePO4). The selected battery type will be indicated by an illuminated LED.
6.2. Reverse Charging Function
To activate reverse charging and revive a flat start battery from your auxiliary battery, press the "REVERSE CHARGE" button. This feature ensures your starter battery remains charged for off-road use.

6.3. DC Charging Priority
The charger is configured with DC charging priority. When both the vehicle's start battery (DC input) and solar panels are connected and meet the startup conditions, the charger will prioritize the vehicle battery input. If solar charging is already active, the system will continuously monitor the DC input and automatically switch to DC power if conditions are met.
- Startup Conditions:
- Ntinye DC: 13-24V
- Solar Input: 13-26V
