FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the SunPower 40W Solar Panel waterproof? The panels are weather-
resistant and will not be harmed if exposed to light rain or snow; however,
the solar panel’s input cord is not weather-resistant and must be kept dry.
Does the SunPower 40W Solar Panel hold a charge? The solar panels only
produce power when exposed to sunlight and that power is not stored and
must be transferred to a baery source.
Can I leave the SunPower 40W Solar Panel outside for connual use? The
panels are not designed for connuous outdoor use. When not in use wipe
the panels with a clean, dry cloth and fold for storage.
Does the SunPower 40W Solar Panel have an internal charge controller?
The solar panel does not have an internal charge controller; however, the
FreedomTM and C-100 model CPAP baeries have internal circuitry that
prevents overcharging. When using the solar panel to charge other devices
it is important that you read the charging instrucons for the specific
device as overcharging may damage the device’s internal baery.
SAFETY & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
 Only fold on the set breaks of the panels with the solar cells facing
outward. Always protect the solar cells when not in use.
 Do not aempt to charge non-rechargeable baeries or devices with
non-rechargeable baeries.
 Do not expose the solar panel to extreme heat or direct sunlight for long
periods of me as this may cause warping of the panels. Once charging
is complete move the panel out of direct sunlight.
 Do not machine wash, machine dry, or dry clean.
 If dirt or debris collect on the solar panels use a clean, damp cloth to
wipe the panels. Do not use soap or solvents as they can create a film
on the solar panels which can affect performance.
 Make sure the panels are clean and dry before storage.

INTRODUCTION
The SunPower 40W Solar Panel allows you to safely and efficiently charge
Baery Power Soluons FreedomTM or C-100 model CPAP Baery using the
power of the sun.
It can also be used to charge other small portable electronic devices such as
cell phones and tablets that operate from 19.2V or less using the device’s DC
power cord (auto charge cable) and the included DC input cord.
CHARGE TIME FOR CPAP BATTERIES
Charge mes will vary based on the amount of power the SunPower 40W
Solar Panel is able to collect from the sun, which will depend upon the
amount of direct sunlight that hits the solar cells.
In opmal condions the Freedom™ or C-100 CPAP Baery can be charged
in approximately 6 hours when the baery is fully discharged. Charge mes
are per baery; therefore, it will take approximately 12 hours to charge two
baeries simultaneously.
CHARGE TIME FOR OTHER DEVICES
Charge mes for other small electronics devices that operate from 19.2V or
less will vary depending upon the charging requirements of the device.
OPTIMAL CHARGING CONDITIONS
 direct sunlight with the solar panels angled toward the sun between
30° to 50° from the horizontal (flat) moving the panels throughout the
day to follow the movement of the sun
 no clouds
 no shade covering any of the solar panels
 no hanging branches or other obstrucons to direct sunlight
 no dirt or debris on the solar panels
- 2 -
CHARGING OTHER SMALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES
 Plug the DC input cord into the SunPower 40W Solar Panel input cord
(the cord connected to the back of the panel).
 Plug the DC power cord (auto charge cable) of the electronic device into the
DC input cord.
 Connect the electronic device to its DC power cord.
 Place the SunPower 40W Solar Panel angled toward direct sunlight to
begin the charging process. Avoid leaving the electronic device in direct
sunlight during charging by covering it or placing it in the shade of the
angled solar panels.
 Make sure to read the charging instrucons for your specific device.
The SunPower 40W Solar Panel does not have an internal charge
controller and the unregulated output of the panel is 19.2V.
Overcharging your device may result in damage to the internal baery
of the device.
 As soon as charging is complete disconnect the SunPower 40W Solar
Panel from the electronic device.

CPAP BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
 Remove the SunPower 40W Solar Panel from the carry bag, unsnap
the top flap and then fold out the three panels with the solar cells
facing outward.
 Plug the connecon cord with voltage controller into the SunPower
40W Solar Panel input cord (the cord connected to the back of the panel).
 Plug the connecon cord with voltage controller into the DC IN jack
of the Freedom™ or C-100 CPAP Baery.
 Place the SunPower 40W Solar Panel angled toward direct sunlight to
begin the charging process. Avoid leaving the CPAP baery in direct
sunlight during charging by covering it or placing it in the shade of
the angled solar panels.
 When charging is complete disconnect the Freedom™ or C-100 CPAP
Baery from the SunPower 40W Solar Panel.
DUAL BATTERY CHARGING
 Plug the connecon cord with voltage controller into the SunPower
40W Solar Panel input cord (the cord connected to the back of the panel).
 Plug the connecon cord with voltage controller into the DC power
pigtail cord included with the Freedom™ or C-100 CPAP Baery Kit.
 Plug the DC power pigtail cord into the DC IN jacks of both baeries.
 Place the SunPower 40W Solar Panel angled toward direct sunlight to
begin the charging process. Avoid leaving the CPAP baeries in direct
sunlight during charging by covering it or placing it in the shade of
the angled solar panels.
 When charging is complete disconnect the Freedom™ or C-100 CPAP
