3.1.3 Connecting Power Directly via CH24
Note:
Continuous connection of an external battery or constant power supply
(for days to months at a time) is not recommended as this can shorten the life
of the internal battery. ICT International recommends using a solar panel
directly connected (with no external battery backup in parallel) wherever
possible, or a timer switch to turn off external power for 8-12 hours daily to
simulate a solar panel during the day and night.
