PV Charging

A output voltage in the solar panel specifications is 10-24 V DC and the total 7 output power is within 200 W. Charging this product with solar panels that cr LalLaL*| do not meet specifications may cause serious damage to it.

The port on the product that connects the solar output is an XT60 port (for SOLAR/CAR INPUT).

1. When charging, please expose solar panels to more direct sunlight.
2. During charging, the battery power progress bar on the display screen displays the current battery power, and the blinking battery segments indicate that the battery is being charged. When fully charged, all battery segments remain on.
3. If necessary, low-power solar panels can be connected in series and parallel to charge this product provided that the voltage and total power shall be within right specification ranges.

Notes for PV charging

1. Solar panel does not store solar energy, but collects solar energy. That is, solar panels collect solar energy and store it in this product, powering your powered devices anytime and anywhere. When the PV charging is under way, powered devices can be used at the same time, that is, supporting discharging while charging.

2. PV charging time varies. Most solar panel manufacturers calculate the PV charging time with the following formula: device Wh/solar panel watts = solar charging time. Theoretically, a 200-watt solar panel can fully charge a 999 Wh outdoor power source in 5 hours (999/200=5), and the said data can be found in the solar panel instructions manual. In order to standardize the PV charging time from all manufacturers, these tests are done in a laboratory environment. However, only about 50-75% of rated solar panel power can be collected on a sunny day, which is how engineers calculate the PV charging time of this product.

3. The solar panel can be charged even on cloudy days. The solar panel uses the infrared and ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun and visible light that penetrates the clouds. Therefore, this product can still be charged by the sun but with reduced efficiency.
4. Solar panels should not be screened by window glasses. When your solar panel is completely exposed to the sun, it will collect more energy. Windows can also reduce efficiency. So put these panels outside and in the sun. The optimal arrangement is to directly face solar panels toward the sun, thereby dramatically improving solar efficiency.

Basic description of battery

Precautions for battery

This product uses the latest battery technology, covering various needs in your daily life. We have prepared some useful tips to keep the battery in the best working condition.

1. Batteries need to be used frequently

Any battery needs to be used frequently. Do not store and not use the battery for a long time. But if you plan to store it, make sure it is fully charged. Although this product will sound an alarm when the battery power is less than 3%, do not store the battery for a long time in the state of power loss, and in case that this product can not be charged, charge it once every 3 months during long-term storage, or you will go to the local after-sales service dealer for maintenance service.

2. The saying of “battery memory”
For Ni-Cd battery, you need to drain your battery before recharging it, the so-called “deep cycle*. However, typical batteries in most devices today, including the advanced lithium battery used in this product, such discharge is no longer required. Actually, you should avoid deep cycle of your battery, which has more harm than good in most cases.

3. “Stadium effect”
The stadium effect occurs when you charge your battery. You’ll notice that the battery charging process is fast at first, but slows down noticeably as you try to charge the last few percent. Just like how quickly a stadium is filled up when it first opens – there are hundreds of open seats, so it’s easy to get one. When there are only a few empty seats here and there, people have to move around to get one, and it takes longer to fill up those seats hence. The same theory applies to charging the battery. Similarly, power easily flows in and occupies empty space at the beginning. As time goes by, less and less space is available, and it takes longer for power to fill left space.

4. Reading this instructions manual.
It will take some time to read the manual, but there are precautions for battery of this product. Following use methods stipulated in this manual will extend the service life of the battery.
