The Layout
Using your Sol Seeker
BEFORE OUTDOOR USE
CHARGE VIA AN OUTLET
Before utilising the solar charging feature, ensure you fully charge your
power bank via an outlet.
LEATHER CARE
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your Sol Seeker’s Napa leather exterior,
we recommend applying a high-quality leather protector and conditioner before
its initial use. This will help nourish and protect the leather, keeping it
looking its best for years to come.
SLOWLY EXPOSE TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT
When using your solar charger, it is important to gradually expose it to
sunlight. This is to prevent the built-in battery protection mechanisms from
activating prematurely. If the power bank has shut down in the sunlight, close
the panels and open at a slower pace. Slowly exposing it to sunlight helps
protect the battery.
POSITIONING YOUR PANELS
Place the solar charger in an area with direct sunlight and minimal
obstructions. Ensure that the solar panels are facing the sun at the optimal
angle for maximum sunlight absorption.
EFFECT OF WINDOWS
It’s important to be aware that windows can significantly impact solar
charging efficiency. Most windows are designed to filter out ultraviolet (UV)
rays which are essential for solar charging.
PROTECT FROM EXTREME CONDITIONS
While the charger is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, avoid exposing
to extreme temperatures, excessive moisture, or harsh environments to maintain
its longevity.
SOLAR CHARGING TIMES
The solar charging time depends on various factors such as sunlight intensity,
panel orientation, and environmental conditions. On average, under optimal
conditions, the solar panels can charge the power bank in approximately 4
hours.
PATIENCE IS KEY
Solar charging relies on natural sunlight, which can vary depending on weather
conditions and time of day. It is important to exercise patience when using
the solar charger
SUPPLEMENTAL OUTLET CHARGING
To ensure uninterrupted power availability, we recommend charging the power
bank from an outlet, when sunlight conditions are limited. This will help
maintain a consistent power reserve.

Understanding the Indicators
The power bank indicator lights will provide the battery level and charging status.
PROCESSING/LOW EFFICIENCY CHARGING
Lights will flash from the bottom to the top at first. If it continues this
indicates it is charging at a lower efficiency.
CHARGING STATUS
The charge indicators are presented in quarters.
One light will continue to flash, indicating the current Charge amount.
POWER BANK HEALTH
It is recommended to recharge the power bank regularly, even if you’re not actively using it to prevent its battery from fully depleting.
USE COMPATIBLE CHARGING METHODS
Avoid using incompatible or low-quality chargers, as they may not provide the
necessary voltage or current for efficient and safe charging.
SAFETY/CAUTION
- Do not drop, misuse or apply excessive force to your power bank.
- If your power bank swells or bulges, stop use and dispose in an appropriate manner.
- Do not dispose of power bank in heat or fire.
