Charging Your Kodiak
(see diagram on opposite side for port locations)!
Charging with Solar
The Kodiak provides two ports for charging using
solar panels (sold separately):!
Port 1: Charge input for use with Inergy’s foldable
and modular solar panels up to 270 Watts input
maximum (12V-18V Only) and AC Charger.!
Port 2: High current charging input for Inergy’s
larger rigid panels. Up to 600 Watts input
maximum (12V-32V Only).!
Charge times vary depending on the solar panels
used, sun conditions, and angle of panel(s).
Charging with AC (wall) Charger
The provided AC wall charger (12.6 VDC, 8
Amps) charges the Kodiak at 100W, taking
approximately 11 hours to fully recharge.
Connect wall charger to Port 1.!
Charging with Car Charger
Using a vehicle’s 12 VDC socket (20 Amps)
charges the Kodiak at 240W, taking
approximately 5 hours to fully recharge the
Kodiak. Connect Car Charger to Port 2.!
Charging with External Batteries
The Kodiak provides a set of external battery
bank connectors with both input and output
capabilities to be used with external lead acid
deep cycle batteries (sold separately). See
“Using External Battery” page for more info.!
Using Your Kodiak
Reading the Power Display
The Power Display has 4 unique readings:!
Top Left: Current (Amps) being drawn from
battery. While idle, 1.2 - 1.5 Amps is a normal
reading.!
Top Right: Battery Voltage. Fully charged is
approximately 12.3 - 12.6 Volts, completely
depleted is approximately 9.6 Volts. Individual
results may vary by 10%.!
Bottom Right: Watts being drawn from battery.
While idle, 14 - 18 Watts is a normal reading.!
Bottom Left: For advanced users. See
“Understanding the Power Meter” page for more
info.!
Powering Devices
The 12V DC Car Sockets & Basecamp LED Light
Ports are always live. Simply connect to the
corresponding port needed and power will flow.!
All USB & AC Ports are activated by the Power
Button. You may hear a cooling fan and see a
small increase on the Power Display in both
Wattage & Amps. The AC & USB Ports are now
available for use. !
The Inverter turns offat approximately 20%
remaining battery. DC power is still available, but
more battery capacity is needed to power the
inverter (AC outlets). A low voltage alarm will
sound when the battery is low. It only serves as
a notification, no damage will occur if the Kodiak
remains on.!
If the AC output limit is exceeded, the inverter
may power offand go into safe mode. If
restarting the Kodiak doesn’t restore AC power,
plug into a charge source for 10 seconds and
restart the Kodiak. AC power should be
restored.!
Reading the Battery Storage Indicator
To view current battery storage level, turn on the
Kodiak by pressing the power button. There are
10 multi-colored LEDs below the Power Display,
each represents approximately 10% of the
battery capacity.!
Maintaining the Kodiak for Storage
We recommend charging the Kodiak every 3
months for best performance and longevity. Not
recommended for outside storage or in damp
environments.

V, Volts (Battery Voltage)
Displays the voltage from the bat-
tery. This is a DC voltage mea-
surement in real time.
W, Watts
Displays the total power draw from
the battery. This is a DC measure-
ment in real time. Watts are cal-
culated by multiplying the current
(Amps) times the voltage.
Data
The data readout cycles between peak
Amps (Ap), minimum Voltage (Vm), Watt
hours (Wh), and Amp hours (Charging Ah):
Amps, Ap (Peak Current)
Only the current from BATTERY to LOAD
is measured. The Amp value displayed is
the average current over the last screen
update interval. Peak Amp value (Ap)
display is the maximum current drawn
from the LOAD side. Peaks lasting only a
fraction of a second can be captured.
Volts, Vm (Voltage)
The displayed value is the average voltage
over the last screen update interval. The
displayed minimum volts value (Vm) is the
Minimum voltage (or “sag”) measured on
the BATTERY side.
Watt-Hours, Wh (Power)
The displayed value is the total energy
delivered in watt-hours and it is measured
on the LOAD side.
Amp-Hours, Ah (Charge)
The displayed value is the total charge in
Amp-hours(x1000=mAh) delivered since
the startup screen and it is measured on
the LOAD side.
Watts, Wp (Power)
The displayed value is the average power
delivered in watts (=Volts x Amps) over the
last screen update interval. The displayed
peak watts value (Wp) is the maximum
power drawn on the LOAD side since the
startup screen ended. Watts are measured
on the LOAD side.
Note: The meter resets itself every time
power is cycled (turned off and on)
A ,Amps (current)
Displays the total current draw
from the battery. This is a DC cur-
rent measurement in real time.
