Charging Your Kodiak
• Using Solar
o The Kodiak provides two ports for solar based charging.
Port 1: Charge input for use with Inergy’s foldable and modular solar panels. Up to 270
Was input maximum (12-18V only) and AC charger.
Port 2: High current charging input for Inergy’s larger rigid panels. Up to 600 Was input
maximum (12V-32V and car charger only).
 Charge mes vary depending on solar panels used, sun condions, and angle of panel(s).
• Using AC (wall) charger
o 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.
• Using Car Charger
o Using a vehicle’s 12V DC socket (240 Was) charges the Kodiak at 240W, taking approximately ve
hours to fully recharge. Connect car charger to Port 2.
• Using External Baeries
o The Kodiak provides a set of external baery bank connectors to be used with external lead acid
deep cycle baeries (sold separately). See “Using External Baery” page for more info.
Using Your Kodiak
• Powering Devices
o The 12V DC car sockets & Basecamp LED Light ports are always live (reference diagram).
o All USB & AC ports are acvated by the power buon. You may hear a cooling fan and see a small
increase on the power display in both Waage and Amps. The AC & USB ports are now available for
use.
o The inverter shuts o at approximately 20% remaining baery. DC power is sll available, but more
baery capacity is needed to power the inverter (AC outlets).
o If the AC output limit is exceeded, the inverter may power o and go into safe mode. If restarng the
Kodiak doesn’t restore AC power, plug into a charge source for 10 seconds and restart the system.
AC power should be restored.
• Reading the Baery Storage Indicator
o Anyme the power buon is pressed, 10 mul-colored LEDs acvate below the power display, each
represenng approximately 10% of the baery capacity.
• Maintaining the Kodiak for Storage
o We recommend charging the Kodiak every three months for best performance and longevity. Not
recommended for outside storage or in damp environments.
• Safety Mode
o Somemes following transport, heavy use, or extended storage, the Kodiak will go into “Safety
Mode.” During Safety Mode, the system won’t power on, or charge. To reset the system, plug an AC
charger into the Basecamp LED Light Port (see illustraon) on the front for about 10 seconds. The
system should now power on and accept a charge.

Solar Energy: General Guidelines
Solar energy IS as simple as poinng panels at the sun. However, there are many variables that CAN
aect the panel’s performance, and as such there are few hard and fast rules involved. Our panels
are rated at maximum output in IDEAL CONDITIONS. Below are a few of the most common variables
that aect performance.
• Ideal Time of Day
o As a general rule of thumb, the brighter the sun is shining, and the clearer the day, the bet-
ter the panels will work.
o Panels operate at peak eciency when the sun is most direct – typically around mid-day.
o Solar panels run o of light, not heat. So even during windy or rainy condions, they are
able to funcon, and while cloud cover will reduce the eciency of the panels, they will sll
generate electricity.
• Time of Year
o The amount of daylight changes with the seasons. The summer months, from June to Au-
gust, oer the most daylight hours.
o While the winter months have less daylight, it is important to note that cold temperatures
do not negavely aect the panel’s performance. Again, they run on light, not heat.
• Panel Angle
o As a general rule of thumb, poinng your panel directly at the sun will yield the best results.
The angle will vary from month to month and season to season.
o A panel angle of 30-60 degrees from at is generally considered the opmal angle, but as
long as you posion your panels facing the sun, you will see results.
• Unobstructed Sunlight
o Solar panels funcon through the interacon of many individual cells. Keeping this in mind,
solar energy results can be greatly aected with even the slightest obstrucon to a single
cell of the panel.
o When selecng a locaon for panel deployment, keep this in mind. Make sure the panel is
free of any debris, or any shadows created by things like tree branches, overhead structures,
or any other objects in the environment.
External Battery Guidelines
The Kodiak was designed with end user customizaon in mind, in an eort to expand the number of
applicaons and versality of the system. External baeries are one of the main ways we have done
this. Below are some guidelines for expanding the power of the Kodiak through the use of addional
baeries.
• Number of batteries?
o “How many baeries can I connect to the Kodiak?” The answer is simple, with a small qualier:
there is no limit to the number of baeries you could connect to the Kodiak, however regard-
less of the addional cells, the charging potenal of the Kodiak remains steady at 600 Was/
hour. Simply stated, you could connect 100 addional baeries, but the limitaon would come
from the charging me, making extended conguraons impraccal for most.
• Types of batteries
o Recommended baery – Inergy recommends 12 Volt deep cycle baeries be used to expand
the Kodiak base system. DO NOT connect external lithium baeries not supplied by Inergy.
Irreparable damage or re could result.
• Connecting
o Baeries should be connected in a parallel conguraon to expand the baery capacity of
the Kodiak. Any addional baeries should be connected in the following manner: posive to
posive, and negave to negave. Regardless of the number of addional baeries you wish to
incorporate, this will not change.
o Baery wires – Most automove stores or departments should carry baery connectors that
will work for expanding the Kodiak with new baeries.
• Warnings
o Never cross posive and negave – It is important to NEVER cross the posive and negave
wires coming o of the Kodiak, or any addional baery units installed. Irreparable damage to
the Kodiak or re can result.

Q: Can I use the Kodiak while it is charging?
A: Yes. It’s capable of outputting power while charging.
Q: Can I y on an airplane with the Kodiak?
A: No. The Kodiak needs to be either ground shipped to your destination, or air
shipped via a shipping carrier, not a passenger airplane.
Q: How well do the Predator 50 Solar Panels work on cloudy days?
A: Panel angle & cloud cover can have up to a 60% effect on performance.
Q: Can the Kodiak power my entire home?
A: No. The Kodiak system is designed to power individual appliances and devices
rather than plugging into the home›s breaker panel directly. For instance, electric
dryers, ovens, stoves, and water heaters all exceed the Kodiak›s ability. However, gas
ovens, stoves, dryers, and water heaters can be powered using the Kodiak - provided
they have a standard 110 VAC wall plug.
