BPS SunPower 40WSolar Panel
INTRODUCTION
Baery Power Soluons’ SunPower 40W Solar Panel allows you to safely
and efficiently charge the C-100 CPAP Baery using the power of the sun.
The SunPower Solar Panel can also be used to charge other small portable
electronic devices that operate from 18V or less by using the device’s
DC power cord and the included DC input cord.

CHARGE TIME
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 C-100 CPAP Baery can be charged in approximately 4-5 hours when
the Baery is fully discharged.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the SunPower Solar Panel waterproof?
The solar panels themselves are weather-resistant and will not be
harmed if exposed to rain or snow; however, the connecon cord is not
weather-resistant and must be kept dry.
Does the SunPower Solar Panel hold a charge?
The SunPower Solar Panel does not hold a charge. The solar panels only
produce power when exposed to sunlight and that power is not stored.
Can I leave the SunPower Solar Panel outside for connual use?
The SunPower Solar Panel is not designed for connuous outdoor usage.
Once your device has finished charging, wipe the SunPower Solar Panel
with a clean, dry cloth and fold for storage.
Can I use the SunPower Solar Panel to charge devices?
As long the small electronic device meets the voltage requirements of
the SunPower Solar Panel (18V or less) and has a DC power cord you can
connect your device to the SunPower Solar Panel by using the provided
DC input cord.
Does the SunPower Solar Panel have an internal charge controller?
The SunPower Solar Panel does not have an internal charge controller;
however, the C-100 CPAP Baery has internal circuitry that prevents
overcharging.
When using the SunPower Solar panel to charge other electronic 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.

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
SAFETY & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
While the SunPower 40W Solar Panel is flexible, only fold the natural
creases in the all-cloth porons of the panel.
Do not fold 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 machine wash, machine dry, or dry clean.
If dirt or debris collect on the solar panels use a clean, wet 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 SunPower Solar Panel is clean and dry before storage.

CHARGING OTHER SMALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES
To charge small electronic devices that operate from 18V or less:
Insert the DC input cord into the connecon cord of the SunPower
Solar Panel.
Insert the DC power cord of the small electronic device into the
DC input cord.
Connect your electronic device to its DC power cord.
Place the SunPower Solar Panel facing toward direct sunlight to
begin the charging process.
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 overcharging your device may result in damage to
the device’s internal baery.
As soon as charging is complete disconnect the SunPower Solar Panel
from the electronic device.

C-100 CPAP BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
Unzip the front pocket of the SunPower 40W Solar Panel and gently pull out the connecon cord.
Squeeze the quick release buckles and unfold the three solar panels with the solar cells facing outward.
Insert the connector p into the connecon cord and then into the DC in jack of the C-100 CPAP Baery.
Dual Baery Configuraon:
Insert the DC power pigtail cord that is included with the C-100 CPAP Baery Kit into the
DC in jacks of both Baeries.
Insert the provided connector p into the female end of the DC power pigtail cord.
Insert the DC power pigtail cord with the connector p aached into the SunPower Solar Panel connecon cord.
Place the SunPower Solar Panel angled toward direct sunlight to begin the charging process.
To obtain maximum output reference the Opmal Charging Condions secon on the previous page.
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 C-100 CPAP Baery from the SunPower 40W Solar Panel.
Note: The internal circuitry of the C-100 CPAP Baery will prevent overcharging.
