FAQ’s

Can I use any type of battery?

A battery should be selected for use with a Leisure system (not a vehicle starter battery), but otherwise any Lead Acid, Gel, AGM or Lithium battery can be used.

Can I run the Axis with an Inverter?

What size solar panels can I connect to the MC4 connectors supplied?

There is no strict guidance to the overall size of solar panels (in Watts) that can be selected as they vary significantly. However, the solar panel selected should have an open circuit voltage that does not exceed 23 Volts. This would normally mean up to the region of a 150 Watt unit.

What kind of Gas bottle do I need to use?
