SUNSAVER Power-Flex 6.4-Watt User manual

Solar Charging:
Connect the USB charging cable to the output of the Power-Flex and the USB input of
your phone or device. Unfold the Power-Flex and place the solar panels in a source of
natural sunlight. Solar charging will not work with indoor lighting.
The charging current depends on the strength of the sunlight and is aected by time,
place, weather conditions, and sunlight angle. When charging through a window, UV
light may be ltered out, which will reduce the charging current.
Every smartphone and device has a ‘Minimum Charging Current’ (MCC), which is the
minimum electrical current the smartphone or device requires to start charging. So,
the amount of sunlight the Power-Flex needs to be able to charge a smartphone or
device, depends on the specic MCC of the smartphone or device.
Many smartphones and tablets have a high MCC, which means that it needs to be a
very bright sunny day in direct sunlight for the Power-Flex to be able to charge them.
Therefore, we recommend using a power bank as an intermediary between the Pow-
er-Flex and a smartphone or tablet. This is because most power banks have a low
MCC, meaning that the Power-Flex can provide charge to them n a wide range of
light conditions. For example, on overcast days the Power-Flex has been proven to
provide charge to SunSaver power banks. While this will be a low rate of charge, it is
much better than no charge at all. The power bank can then be used to reliably
charge a smartphone at night or on rainy days. Please see over the page.

Optimal Phone Charging Set-up:
1) Use the Power-Flex to store charge into a power bank.
2) Charge a smartphone or tablet from the power bank.
Notes:
Before plugging the USB cable into the Power-Flex, make sure there is no moisture or
dust in the USB outlet. If there is, air dry until moisture is gone and blow out any dust.
If there is any dirt or other substance on the solar panels, wipe o with a damp cloth
and then dry with a towel.
Avoid bending the solar panels beyond the at position to help the connections last
for longer.
When charging your phone directly from the Power-Flex, turning the phone o can
improve charging performance. The USB output is regulated at 5-Volts.
