The Voltaic rechargeable solar battery pack can be used with or without a Voltaic bag. It can be
recharged using the solar panels in the bag, the included AC travel
charger or the car charger. This makes the battery a versatile energy
storing device for people on the go. Take it with you in the car,
camping, hiking or wherever you travel for instance reserve power for
your phone, PDA or other electronic device.
- You can transfer power stored in the battery pack to your device whenever you need it.
- Charge Indicator: this indicates how much charge is left in the battery and also that it is receiving a charge
- Voltage
Converter: a voltage converter switch on top of the battery pack allows
you to adjust the power output to suit the device being charged, 3.5,
5, or 7.2 Volts
- Virtually all cell phones, most PDA's,
and USB charges run at 5V; 7.2V setting is useful for devices like
larger digital cameras and iPods, or when using a car charger.
- LED light: a bright LED light on the face of the battery, which lasts approximately 55 hours on a charge.
- A
strong clip is included on the back which attaches to the inside pocket
of the bag by design; it also can clip to a pocket in a purse, another
bag, or suitcase.

1. Voltage switch:
Controls the voltage output from the battery. Check the device being
charged for correct voltage. USB chargers and most phones charge at 5V.
For car chargers use 7.2V.
2. DC OUT Plug: Connects to the power out cable, USB Adaptor, or the car charger socket to power various devices.
3. Switch for LED light: Controls LED light on the front of the battery. Approximate life 55 hours per charge.
4. Charge Meter: Shows when the battery is charging (red for fast charge, green for trickle charge).
5. Test Button: To test the charge in the battery. Green indicates full, amber partial charge, red low. No light indicates empty.
6. DC IN Plug: Connects the battery for recharging from solar panels, AC charger, or car charger (located underneath battery).
Selecting the Correct Voltage:
The power requirement for a particular device is typically indicated in
the product literature, on the device itself, or on the charger (as
power output). Most cell phones and PDA's operate at 5V as do charging
from a USB charger. When using a car charger, the 7.2V setting is
typically required. Some devices will operate at several voltage
settings. For the most efficient use of power, select the lowest
setting that powers your device.
Warning: Using higher than the required voltage may damage some devices.
Note:
Some devices are designed to work only with factory supplied chargers.
In this case, use the factory supplied car charger, and plug it into
the car charger socket. Other devices may require a higher voltage than
produced by the battery pack. In this case, use the car charger socket
and draw power direct from the solar panels, which produce 10V. |
