Charging with a Solar Panel

myPower ALL Plus can be charged using a compatible solar panel. You can charge the device using the DC IN port (5.5 x 2.1mm), or the 3-Pin Input Port.

The DC IN port is designed for use with a DC power adapter with constant current input. Charging myPower ALL Plus requires a minimum of 1.5A current output from the solar panel. In general, a 25W or higher solar panel should provide sufficient power to charge myPower ALL Plus.

The bottom row of the 6-Pin Input Port is designed to allow charging by smaller solar panels (lower than 25W), and requires an optional Smart 3-Pin Adapter (Sunbooster) available from Tekkeon (see Accessories). To use the solar panel with this port, the solar panel must have a minimum open circuit voltage of 12V. However, there is no minimum output current requirement from the solar panel.

1.Connect the solar panel output cable into the DC IN port on myPower ALL Plus.

2.Verify that the red charging indicator turns on to indicate the battery is charging and is less than 80% charged.

3.After approximately four hours, press the Capacity Display button to view the battery capacity. If the capacity does not indicate full (all blue LEDs on), continue to charge the battery

until the battery capacity indicates full.

4.When the battery capacity indicates full, unplug the connected charging cable.

To Charge through the 3-Pin Input Port

1.Connect the Smart 3-Pin Adapter Bracket on to the end of myPower ALL Plus (shown).

2.Connect the 3-Pin end of the Smart 3-Pin Adapter into the bottom row of the

6-Pin Input Port on myPower ALL Plus (shown) and the other end into the solar panel output port.
