6. Maintenance

• Keep all charging ports covered with their silicone caps when not in use to protect against dust and water.
• Clean the power bank and solar panels with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Slow Solar Charging

Solar charging speed can vary significantly due to several factors:

• Solar Panel Area: The size of the solar panels directly impacts the amount of energy captured.
• Raw Material Quality: The efficiency of the solar cells affects conversion rates.
• Sunlight Intensity: Direct, strong sunlight is crucial for optimal charging. Cloudy conditions or indirect light will result in slower charging.

Ensure the panels are fully unfolded and facing direct sunlight for the most efficient solar charging.

7.2 Device Not Charging

• Check that the charging cable is securely connected to both the power bank and your device.
• Ensure the power bank has sufficient charge. Check the LED indicators.
• Try using a different charging cable or a different port on the power bank.
