Maintenance Tips
-
Install the ETHOS system in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to ensure optimal performance and prevent overheating.
-
Regularly inspect all wiring, terminals, and connections for looseness, corrosion, or damage to maintain safe off-grid operation.
-
Keep the system exterior clean and dust-free using a soft, dry cloth to avoid heat buildup.
-
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures to preserve internal components.
-
Monitor battery state of charge and avoid deep discharges to maintain long-term capacity and efficiency.
-
During extended periods of non-use, keep the system at 50–60% charge and disconnect from all loads and power sources.
