Warning!! Improper installation of
Solar Equipped Power Armors may
result in battery over-charging!
Single Solar Panel Option 1:
If you plan to use two or more batteries with a single 10-
Watt Solar Panel, you will NOT need to purchase any
additional parts.
Single Solar Panel Option 2:
If you plan to use one battery with a single 10-Watt Solar
Panel, it is required that you use a 6 Amp Regulator (PN
A7715) to prevent your battery from gassing and over
charging.
Double Solar Panel Option 1:
If you plan to use 4 or more batteries with two 10-Watt
Solar Panels, you will need to purchase a second solar
panel (A7713) and either the Y-Harness adapter (A7714) or
optionally a 6-amp regulator (A7715)
Double Solar Panel Option 2:
If you plan to use less than 4 batteries with two 10-Watt
Solar Panels, you will need to purchase a second solar
panel (A7713) and a 6-amp regulator (A7715)

Optional Solar Parts
PN - A7713 - Additional 10-Watt Solar Panel (Requires the
use of A7714 or A7715 when installed as a second solar
panel)
PN - A7714 - Y-Harness Adapter (Connects Two 10-Watt
solar panels, not needed if using A7715)
PN - A7715 - 6-amp regulator required when using less
than two batteries per solar panel (Regulates amperage to
prevent gassing and over charging, will work with one or
two 10-Watt Solar Panels, A7714 not required)
Replacement Battery Mats
The battery mat included with the Power Armor Battery
Box is acid neutralizing, and will help reduce any corrosion
from spilled battery acid. It is a “wear”item and may
eventually need to be replaced. New battery mats are
available through Torklift International. Part numbers
below.

Step 1:
Remove the Power Armor Max Lid by sliding the lid away from the side
of the box with the lock; then lifting the front edge and unhooking the lid
from the tabs on the rear of the box.
Step 2:
Test fit your batteries in the Power Armor Max Battery Box. If you plan
on using the Two Piece Divider, all of the batteries will need to be on the
same side of the box. The battery terminals should face the side of the box
with the 2” holes. For solar models, the batteries should be closest to the
side of the box with the lock. There are a series of slots cut into the bottom
of the Power Armor Battery Box for the included Battery Straps. Make
an incision in the Battery Mat over each of the slots you will need for the
Battery Straps. Install the non-buckled end of the Battery Straps down
through one of the slots and back up through the bottom of the Power
Armor Max Battery Box. Use the straps to secure the batteries and ensure
that they are situated correctly for your application. Once the battery box is
installed, the straps will be difficult to adjust. Remove the batteries and
Battery Mat before proceeding.

Step 3:
The two 2” holes in the front/back panel of the Power Armor Max Battery
Box are used to allow the battery cables to enter the battery box. They can
be mounted to either the front or rear of the trailer as long as there is
sufficient room to open and remove the Power Armor Max Lid.
Place the Power Armor Max Battery Box where it is to be mounted. If the
battery box is being installed on an open frame trailer, drill three ¼” holes
per side through the bottom of the battery box and into the trailer. Secure
the battery box as seen in figure 3.1

If the battery box is being installed on a boxed frame trailer, install three
1/4" x 1” SS Self-Drilling Screws per side through the bottom of the
battery box and into the trailer frame. Place a 7/16” square profile O-ring
around the head of each screw/bolt to protect the battery mat from abrasion.
See figure 3.2
Figure 3.2
Step 4
Reinstall the Battery Mat and Batteries. To prevent any possible contact
between the battery terminals and lock, the battery terminals should be
oriented towards the side of the box with the 2” holes. Tightly secure the
batteries with the battery straps.

Step 5:
If desired, a Two Piece Divider can be installed into the battery box. To
install the Two Piece Divider, place the tabbed end of one of the Two Piece
Divider Halves into the slots in the side of the battery box. Use the other
Two Piece Divider Half to tab into the opposite side of the box. Bolt the
two divider halves together using the supplied 1/4"-20 x 3/4" SS Carriage
Bolts and 1/4"-20 SS Wing Nuts. The wing nuts should be on the opposite
side of the divider from the batteries to avoid abrasion. See figure 5.1

Step 6:
While flexing the front and back side of the battery box slightly apart, install
the Drop in Stiffener into one of the four middle upper slots in the battery
box as shown in figure 6.1. If the Two Piece Divider is already installed in
one of these slots, the battery box stiffener will not be needed.

Step 7:
The Power Armor Max and Power Armor Max Solar battery boxes are
capable of supporting multiple battery configurations. Depending on the
configuration, additional battery cables may be required but are not
included.
