DIY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ONE TYPE OF DIVERSION LOAD

For this light board you will need to use 12 volt or 24 volt light bulbs. We are working on finding a source for these bulbs and will offer them on this page when we can get them in stock.

You will need to make a diversion load to draw power when the regulator recognizes that the batteries are filling with too much power. We have instructions here that will show you how to build a light bar to use as a diversion load or you can purchase one from us that is already assembled and ready to go. You will need to use either 12 volt or 24 volt bulbs.

To make a light bar to use as a diversion load for the charge regulator start out with 5 round plastic electrical boxes and screw them in to a board. We use a board that is 1”x8”x4’.

Next you will run 10 gauge or larger electrical wire through the boxes. Wire the red positive wires to each other and run the black negative wires to each other. Do this between each box.

The next step is to attatch your lights. Use wire nuts and wire the white wire from the light to the positive, red wire in the box. The black wire will be fastened to the black wire. We use a simple overhead bedroom ceiling light that will take two bulbs.

Next fasten down the light fixture to the box.

Do this with each light. Touch the wires to a battery to make sure that you have everything wired and working correctly. If you are using 12volt batteries you need 12volt light bulbs. If you are using a 24 volt system you will need 24 volt light bulbs. Now you are ready to hook the light board to your charge regulator. We provide instructions for our regulators.
