Notes:
1. This list is not a complete list of acceptable batteries. These are batteries that Globalstar has identified and tested as
acceptable.
2. The VAR/installer should review the pairing of solar panel/battery and determine if the solar panel is adequate for use with
the selected battery.
3. If a battery is used, it will be the responsibility of the VAR/installer to verify the relevant battery approvals/certifications for
where the end-product will be used (i.e. IEC62133 approval).
4. Due to the solar charger chip's 100mA max input current, the max recommended battery size is 500mAh.

2.10.3. SOLAR PANEL

The ST100 has terminals on the PCB where a solar panel can be soldered to. The user/installer should carefully note the
location of the positive and negative terminals marked on the PCB and solder the solder panel accordingly. It will be up to the
user/installer to verify the solar power requirements (see Table 7 - Operating Conditions: Power Requirements).
NOTE: RoHS-compliant and lead-free solder must be used in order to maintain the RoHS-compliance of the ST100.
