Charging With A Solar Panel; Charging Through The 6-Pin Input Port - Tekkeon MP3450 User Manual

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 6-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 6-Pin Input Port is designed to allow charging by smaller solar panels (lower than 25W), and requires an
optional Smart 6-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.

Charging through the 6-Pin Input Port

1. Connect the 6-Pin end of the Smart 6-Pin Adapter into the
6-Pin Input Port on myPower ALL Plus (shown) and the other
end into the solar panel output port.
2. Verify that the charging indicator next to the input jack
on the Smart 6-Pin Adapter (shown) turns on to indicate
the battery is charging.
