How to Recharge Your Nature’s Power Pod
Recharging from Solar
1. Place your solar panel where it will get as much direct sunlight as possible. While direct sunlight
is always preferred, solar panels should be connected at all mes to provide a consistent trickle
charge to your baery. Solar panels will also send a charge your unit while in hazy or overcast
skies.
2. Insert solar panel plug into Solar Input port on the front of Nature's Power Pod. You will know it
is recharging when LED lights start running. The LED lights remain solid when the baery is full or
there is not enough power from solar panel.
3. It takes about 15 to 20 hours to recharge Nature's Power Pod if using 100 wa solar panel,
depending on the strength of the sunlight.
4. To increase the recharging speed, you can chain mulple solar panel in parallel connecon. The
Solar Input port can handle up to 200 wa solar panel. Visit Naturesgenerator.com for informaon
on purchasing addional Nature’s Generator Solar Panels.
Recharging from Nature’s Generator
1. Connect Nature's Power Pod to Nature’s Generator (not included in the box) by the expansion
cord.
2. When Nature’s Generator is being recharged by solar, wind or wall, Nature's Power Pod will be
recharged at the same me.
3. The LED lights do not run while Nature’s Power Pod is recharged from Nature’s Generator, but
you always can press the LED Light Buon to check baery level.
Recharging from the Car
You can use DC extension cord (not included in the box) to recharge the Nature's Power Pod by
using 12V DC port. This method is not recommended because it recharges much slower.

How to Maintain and Store Your Nature’s Power Pod
Please recharge your Nature's Power Pod once every four months and store in a venlated, cool
and dry locaon. If possible, please connect your Nature's Power Pod to the solar panel while in
storage to top off the baery voltage. This keeps baery healthy and prolongs its life. Failure to
maintain Nature's Power Pod by these steps can result in baery damage which will void the
product warranty.
Please clean your Nature's Power Pod with a so, lint-free cloth. If your Nature's Power Pod is
especially dirty, moisten a so, lint-free cloth in a weak detergent soluon, squeeze the excess
moisture from the cloth, then wipe the cabinet with the cloth. Use a clean cloth to dry your
Nature's Power Pod.

Troubleshoong
My Nature’s Power Pod won’t charge when I connect my solar panel to it.
Please follow these steps.
1. Make sure the solar panel is pointed directly toward the sun. It is preferred to posion the solar
panel face the south. The solar panel may produce lile or no power if it is posioned in shade.
2. Check the cable connecon on Nature's Power Pod and make sure it fits ghtly.
3. If the LED lights up, but the baery bar is not running. It means Nature's Power Pod is being fully
charged by the solar panel or solar panel does not have high enough voltage to recharge the
Nature's Power Pod.
