- Regularly use both USB-C and solar charging to maintain battery health.
6. Troubleshooting
- Lantern not turning on:
Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a USB power source to confirm charging. - Lantern not charging via USB-C:
Check the USB-C cable for damage. Try a different USB power adapter or port. Ensure the cable is fully inserted into the lantern's port. - Lantern not charging via solar:

Ensure the lantern has sufficient charge. Try a different charging cable for your device.
