6.3. DC Charging Priority

The charger is configured with DC charging priority. When both the vehicle's start battery (DC input) and solar panels are connected and meet the startup conditions, the charger will prioritize the vehicle battery input. If solar charging is already active, the system will continuously monitor the DC input and automatically switch to DC power if conditions are met.

• Startup Conditions:
• DC Input: 13-24V
• Solar Input: 13-26V
