GETTING STARTED
What SolarPulse Can Do For You
SolarPulse is one of the most effective methods available for charging your 12-volt lead-acid batteries. Besides
charging, it also uses our patented Pulse Technology®to remove and prevent the buildup of lead-sulfate deposits
on your battery plates. By keeping the plates clean, your battery recharges faster, accepts a full charge and releases
all its stored energy.
The SP-12-OBD-T 12-Watt SolarPulse unit has three components:
• Solar Panel with quick disconnect for easier installation
• Circuit Box housing our exclusive Pulse Technology
• OBD connector
Installation is quick and easy. Just follow the steps inside.
WARNING: Because of the possibility of personal injury, always use extreme caution when working with batteries.

Remove the suction cups and solar panel from
the box. Screw a suction cup into each of the four
corners of the solar panel.
Let the solar panel cable hang down to the vehicle’s
OBD port.
Connect the quick-disconnect plugs on the solar
panel and circuit box cables.
Push the OBD connector into the OBD port and
ensure it’s secure.
Make sure the circuit box’s LED lights up indicating
the solar panel is working at an optimum level. The
LED dims when solar panel is in partial sunlight and
you may need to move the solar panel into direct
sunlight for maximum effectiveness.
Lay the circuit box on the floor.
Make sure the suction cups are securely attached
to the solar panel, and the bottom of the suction
cups are clean. Mount the solar panel on the inside
of the vehicle windshield where it will have direct
access to sunlight.
WARNING: Any solvents that may be
harmful to plastic should not be used on
or near the unit.
