10. Recharging via solar
• The powergorilla can be charged via the sun using the solargorilla solar panel (not included).
• The solargorilla (our recommended solar panel for use with the powergorilla) is equipped with Max-
imum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology. This maximises the solar panel’s efficiency for any
given weather condition and protects the battery from over-charging or excessive discharging. In low
light conditions, this technology improves efficiency by up to 60%.
• The powergorilla will automatically detect when the solargorilla solar charger is connected and
the symbol below will be displayed. This will disable the DC OUT port (3) and USB (2) on the
powergorilla. The internal circuits will also turn off to improve charging efficiency and reduce charge
times from solar.
• Select the L52D tip and connect it to the 2m charging cable both supplied with the solargorilla and
insert the tip into the DC IN (1) of the powergorilla. Place the solargorilla panel in the sun.
