Lifespan
The lifespan of a rechargeable battery depends on

Charging Cycles
•
Charging Current
•
Charging Time
In order to save a long life of the batteries, it is necessary to
avoid too frequent charging.
Charging should take place only if the voltage of the battery
has reached its lower limit.
To achieve this,
a control system is installed
in the Solar
System LED 10.2, to prevent that both,
loading with too high currents occur,
Charge current is limited by the max.
output current of the solar module
(420mA) and also by a fuse which
automatically interrupts charging
with too high current. The integrated
control system avoids too frequent
charging. The lower limit voltage is
indicated by
a
red warning LED
.
too frequent loading.
Use of the lamp after this cut off is not possible. Charge bat-
tery after cut off. The green LED indicates (only when the
switch is in position "•"), that the lamp is ready to use.
If the lamp isn´t used for some time (storage), it is possible
that the lamp cannot be turned on. This is due to a self-
discharge of the battery and in consequence automatic cut off
of the circuit. Then charge the battery as described.
Please note that the rechargeable batteries have a self-
discharge of more than 10% per month, especially in ex-
treme temperatures.
At the end of the charging by the solar panel (after about 6-7
hours - depending on the intensity of solar radiation) bring the
switch in intermediate position. Disconnect the cable of the
module from the charging socket of the lamp.

Replacing the storage batteries
Remove the two screws on the bot-
tom of the lamp (make sure that they
are not lost) and remove the cover.
Pull out the battery tray with the help
of the string and separate the con-
nectors.
Take the three individual accus
from the battery holder and replace
them with three new ones. Battery
references at the end of this information.
Pay attention to the polarity!
Restore connections. Then switch
on the lamp (switch in position "
●
")
to examine the function of the
lamp. Insert the battery carrier in
the battery compartment and close
with the cover and two screws.
Recommendation storage batteries
Use only rechargeable batteries!
Use only three batteries of the same manufacturer and the
same type, the same technology and the same capacity.
Functioning time will be reduced when using smaller capacity
batteries!
