5.2 Solar Charging (Emergency Method)

The solar panel is designed for emergency charging and maintaining battery levels in outdoor situations. It is not intended as the primary charging method due to its size and the power bank's large capacity.

1. Place the power bank in direct sunlight with the solar panel facing upwards.
2. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the sunlight.
3. A dedicated solar charging indicator light will illuminate when solar charging is active.
4. For optimal solar charging, position the panel perpendicular to the sun's rays.

Note: Solar charging speed is dependent on sunlight intensity. It will be significantly slower than USB charging.
