4W 12V Briefcase Amorphous Solar Charger
1.2M cable with 12V plug
1.2M cable with alligator clips
How does it work:
When exposed to daylight the solar cell instantly begins to generate a voltage. The fold up solar panel
will work in all daylight conditions and is fully weather resistant.
Positioning:
This will be determined by the cable length from panel to battery. But wherever possible place the panel
ideally at 35 to 65 degrees, facing south. The fold up solar panel will still work if positioned behind glass
or Perspex and even if facing north, although in such circumstances the power delivery will be reduced.
Protection against battery drain:
The fold up solar panel has a built in blocking diode fitted which prevents battery drain during night time.
Therefore, the panel can be left attached long term.
NOTE-there is no fuse connected to this system ,therefore care must be taken not to pinch, cut or damage
the supplied cables ,as a short circuit may occur.
Performance:
The fold up solar panel will deliver current to a 12V battery. It is rated at 4W,which means in ideal
conditions, the panel will generate 4 watts of power per hour. This is a perfect amount of power to prevent
a large battery going flat, even in winter.
Connection:
Decide whether the connection to the battery will be by an in-car, 12V socket using the cable and
plug (A ) supplied, or direct to a battery’s terminals using the supplied cable and alligator clips(B).Then
connect the selected cable to the battery.
