The lantern should always be brought up to 100% state-of-charge before storing it to reduce the
chance of battery damage. Upon checking the battery’s state-of-charge, if the displayed value is
not 100%, then recharge the lantern per instructions in the Recharging section below prior to
storage.
Important
: Don’t forget to place the lantern in the
oFF
mode prior to storage by
pressing and holding down the Power Key
for approximately five seconds until “
byE”
is
displayed.
Recharging
There are several ways to recharge the lantern and bring the battery back to 100% state-of-
charge. The best and easiest way is to leave the lantern outside exposed to natural sunlight for 5
to 10 days. If this is not possible, you may use the optional power pack style battery charger
connected to either the optional charge port in the base or directly to the battery board after
opening up the lantern. However, opening up the lantern to access the battery board is not
encouraged because the environmental factory seal will be compromised. A flashing decimal
point in the digital LED display indicates that battery charging is taking place; steady on
indicates that the battery is fully charged.
Battery charging options are presented in the following order of precedence:
1.
Using Sunlight.
The easiest way to recharge the lantern to 100% state-of-charge is to
leave it outside exposed to natural sunlight for 5 to 10 days. Ensure that the lantern is turned
oFF
so that it does not activate at night extending the recharging time.
2.
Using Optional Charge Port.
The battery charge port is a $95 option that, if desired,
must be purchased immediately after placing an order against the current requirements
contract through SILC Contracting by calling Carmanah and providing the order number and
the additional payment. If you purchase this option, a battery charge port will be added to
the bottom of the lantern’s base flange for charging the battery using an external 120VAC
power-pack style battery charger ($56 option, p/n: 69885). If lanterns are charged using this
method, the battery will fully charge within 24-hours and an intelligent charge controller
built into the lanterns’ circuitry will prevent overcharge if/when left connected for long
periods of time. Upon charge completion (confirmed when decimal point in digital LED
display is steady on), let the lantern rest for at least one (1) hour in the oFF mode (but
preferably 24-hours) before confirming settings and deploying the lantern.
