5. Setup and Initial Charging
Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the power bank via a wall adapter.
5.1 Charging the Power Bank via Wall Outlet
- Connect a USB-C cable (or the built-in USB-C cable) to the power bank's USB-C input/output port.
- Connect the other end of the cable to a compatible USB wall adapter (not included).
- Plug the wall adapter into a power outlet.
- The LED indicators on the power bank will illuminate to show the charging status. A full charge is indicated when all LEDs are solid.
Note: Initial charging via wall outlet typically takes several hours due to the large battery capacity.
5.2 Charging the Power Bank via Solar Panel
The solar panel is designed for emergency charging and maintaining battery life, not as a primary charging method due to its inherent limitations in speed and efficiency.
- Place the power bank in direct sunlight with the solar panel facing upwards.
- A green LED indicator will light up to confirm that solar charging is active.
- For optimal solar charging, ensure there is no obstruction to the sunlight.
Important: Solar charging is significantly slower than wall charging. It can take several days of direct sunlight to fully charge the 26800 mAh battery. Use solar charging primarily for emergencies or to extend battery life when away from power outlets.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your power bank, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Power bank not charging | Cable not connected properly; faulty cable/adapter; power bank fully charged. | Ensure cables are securely connected. Try a different cable or wall adapter. Check LED indicators; if all are solid, the power bank is fully charged. |
| Device not charging from power bank | Power bank battery low; device cable not connected; power bank not activated; device incompatible with wireless charging. | Charge the power bank. Ensure device cable is securely connected. Press the power button once to activate output. For wireless charging, ensure your device is Qi-compatible and correctly positioned. |
| Solar charging is slow | Insufficient sunlight; solar panel partially obstructed; inherent limitation of solar charging. | Place the power bank in direct, unobstructed sunlight. Understand that solar charging is a supplementary feature and slower than wall charging. |
| Flashlight not working | Power button not held long enough; power bank battery low. | Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to activate. Charge the power bank if the battery is low. |
