complete.
• The LED’s are only an approximation of current charge status.
• To immediately restart the charge cycle, unplug the charge apparatus and then re-
connect it. If the battery is already fully charged it will not hurt the battery.
To charge the Solo:
1. The Solo can be used as a power source while charging.
2. Place the Solo in a safe area. See previous Warnings.
3. Connect charge cable to the Charge Input Jack of the power pack’s front panel first.
Once the charge cable is plugged into the battery then connect to one of the below
power sources:
a. Wall Transformer: Connect to a standard household 110-volt AC outlet.
b. Solaris Solar Array: Expose to direct sunlight. (It is suggested to use your Solaris
Panels to shade the Solo)
c. Vehicle DC Cable: Connect to a standard vehicle 12-volt DC power outlet.
4. The Red LED will illuminate on the front panel of the Solo to indicate a good con-
nection and charging has begun.
5. The charge status can be determined by pressing the LEVEL button. When pressed
one of the LED’s will light up and behave as a fuel gauge during the charge cycle.
When the last green LED goes off one will know the charging is complete. The red
LED is always on while being plugged into it’s charge source.
6. Leaving the Solo connected to the charge source after charge is complete does
NOT harm the Solo.
7. To stop charging: First halt the charging as illustrated below then disconnect the
charge apparatus from the Charge Input Jack on the Solo.
a. Wall Transformer: Disconnect from the household outlet.
b. Solaris Solar Array: Cover or remove from direct sunlight.
c. Vehicle DC Cable: Disconnect from the automobile DC power outlet.
8. The red LED will remain on until the charge source is removed. See table below for
approximate charging times.
CAUTION: Do not charge the battery from the car without the car periodically running.
Otherwise you may drain your car battery to a critically low level.
