FAQs

How does the trickle charge work?

The charger provides a small, constant current to the battery to maintain its charge level and prevent it from discharging.

Is the charger suitable for all car types?

No, it is only suitable for petrol cars from 2001 onwards and diesel cars from 2004 onwards.

How long does it take to charge a battery?

The charger is designed to maintain the battery charge rather than fully charge a drained battery. Charging time depends on the battery's condition and sunlight exposure.

What does the flashing blue LED indicate?

The flashing blue LED indicates that the charger is functioning and supplying power to the battery.

What happens if I leave the charger plugged in for a long time?

The charger is designed to prevent overcharging, so it's safe to leave it plugged in for extended periods. It will maintain the battery's charge.

Where should I place the solar panel?

Place the solar panel in a location where it receives direct sunlight, such as on the dashboard or outside the vehicle.

What is THINFILM technology?

THINFILM technology allows the solar panel to absorb a wider spectrum of light, functioning even in low-light conditions and withstanding high temperatures.

What is the warranty period?

The charger comes with a 1-year warranty.

Troubleshooting

The blue LED is not flashing.

Check the connection to the EOBD socket. Ensure the socket is functional. Check for any obstructions blocking sunlight to the panel.
