The Auto-Retry port
The Auto-Retry port is one of the reasons the sCharger-12 works so well. The
Auto-Retry will activate within 5 minutes of first being placed in the sun. Once
activated there are a few good things that start happening to further optimize
charging. If a momentary shadow appears like a cloud or even a person
walking in front of the panel, some USB devices will give up charging and show
a warning message. They will often not restart when the sun is again available.
Charging from the Auto-Retry port takes care of interruptions by doing a
charger reset automatically. As long as the sCharger-12 sees sun, the USB
device will continue to charge. Any messages that may have been displayed on
the device will eventually disappear when the Auto-Retry kicks in. Also, if the
sun becomes brighter because cloud haze disappears, the Auto-Retry will cause
some more sophisticated USB devices to kick into a bulk charging state. Some
devices may make a signal sound when in auto mode, this is normal and is a
nice indicator that your phone is still charging and not to forget about it.
The Manual Port
The manual port is a solid source of power. It will not do a retry if the sun is
interrupted. If you suspect complete overcast or even raining conditions, using
the Auto-Retry port could cause your phone screen to come on momentarily.
On some devices, the screen’s consumption will cause a power drain. Solar
panels are at their best in sunlight. If you expect full overcast to almost raining
conditions, you may want to charge from the Manual port to at least get a
trickle charge.
