Charging the Lights

Your Minetom Solar String Lights offer flexible charging options:

Image: Dual charging options for the solar panel, showing solar charging (8 hours for 20+ hours of light) and Type-C charging (4 hours for 20+ hours of light).

Solar Charging: The solar panel will automatically charge the internal battery during daylight hours when exposed to sunlight. A full charge typically requires 6-8 hours of direct sunlight and can provide over 20 hours of illumination.
Type-C USB Charging: For cloudy days or faster charging, you can use a Type-C USB cable (not included) to charge the solar panel. A 4-hour charge via Type-C can also provide over 20 hours of illumination. The Type-C port is located on the back of the solar panel.

Note: The indicator light on the solar panel will turn red during charging and turn off when fully charged.
