ArkPak Q
« on: Nov 16, 2015, 11:52:02 AM »
Hope someone can help…. I've lost my ArkPak user manual and can't find a download on-line.

Can anyone tell me if I can bypass the MPPT controller on the solar panels and connect straight to the external terminals on the ArkPak (so the smart charger controls input) or do I use the MPPT?

Cheers,
Dick

Mate I'm pretty sure you have to use the mppt regulator as the external charging points aren't regulated by the smart charger.

This was also my understanding. I will try to find my manual tonight.

Thanks Bigkenny! So isolator on, use the MPPT on the panel.
