Can a Solar Panel Be Added To The TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box # TLA7700L?  

Question:

I believe the difference between the TLA7700L and the TLA7700LS is the solar aspect. I ordered the TLA7700L and have changed plans and would now like the solar capabilities offered by the TLA7700LS. Can I purchase that separately?

Expert Reply:

The Solar Power Kit # TLA7713 will allow you to add to your TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box # TLA7700L. This will effectively give you the TorkLift PowerArmor Solar Locking Battery Box # TLA7700LS. If you are installing this panel on a battery box that contains only 1 battery, you will need a 8-amp regulator # TLA7715.
