Dispositifs de charge

The GOLABS SF100 can charge various devices directly or through a compatible power station.

• Direct Charging (USB Ports): For smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices, connect them directly to the QC3.0 USB-A, standard USB-A, or PD 45W USB-C ports.
• Charging Power Stations (DC/MC4): Use the DC output port or MC4 connectors with the provided cables (DC to DC, DC to Anderson) to charge compatible portable power stations. Ensure the voltage and connector type match your power station's input requirements.

Maximizing Charging Efficiency

• Lumière directe du soleil : Always place the solar panel in direct sunlight. Any shading, even partial, can significantly reduce output.
• Angle optimal : Adjust the kickstand to ensure the panel is perpendicular to the sun's rays. The sun's position changes throughout the day, so periodic adjustments may be necessary.
• Surface propre : Keep the solar panel surface clean from dust, dirt, leaves, or other obstructions.
• Évitez la surchauffe : While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to extreme heat can affect performance. Ensure adequate airflow around the panel.
