10-Watt Compact Solar Charger
with 72-Watt-Hour Battery Pack
PLEASE READ THESE WARNINGS:
•
Battery may be shipped with less than a full charge. Be sure to charge it before leaving
for a remote location.
•
The interior of the 10-Watt Compact Solar Charger bag can become hot when it is left in the sun.
To reduce the temperature, open the zipper of any compartment containing a battery or any
electronic device. If possible keep electronic devices that are being charged outside of the bag
while charging them.
•
Verify that you know how to use the 10-Watt Compact Solar Charger before traveling to a
remote location.
•
Discharge and recharge the battery every 5 months to preserve the battery life.
•
Store between -4° and 95° F. Do not store in high humidity conditions.
•
Never attempt to charge the battery if the temperature is below 32° F or above 113° F.
•
Do not expose the battery to high heat or direct flame. Dispose of properly. Do not throw away
in trash or incinerate.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with the battery. It is not user serviceable.
•
Do not let the battery get wet. Do not short circuit the battery.
•
NEVER ATTEMPT TO USE THE 72-WATT-HOUR BATTERY PACK IF IT BECOMES WET!
Specifications:
•
Battery: Li-Polymer, 20,000 mAh, 72 Watt hours
•
Solar Panel: mono crystalline cell type
•
Output: 5V at 2A; 12/16/19 V up to 4 A
•
Input: 15-19V up to 1.2A
Charging the battery pack from the solar panel:
Press the button on the battery to activate the LED fuel gauge. To charge the 10-Watt Compact
Solar Charger’s battery pack using the solar panel, first make sure the slider switch on the solar
panel is set to 18V and the solar panel’s output cable is connected to battery pack’s INPUT port. If
the battery is completely depleted, the charging time is roughly 15 hours of full sunlight at 80
degrees ambient temperature. Keep the solar panels pointed directly at the sun. The charge time
varies depending on the amount of sunlight available. IMPORTANT: the LED’s on the fuel gauge
should light in sequence when the 10-Watt Compact Solar Charger is charging successfully.
Charging the battery pack from AC wall power or a vehicle’s 12 VDC power:
The battery pack also can be charged faster using either the AC “wall” adapter or the DC car
charger cable that are provided with the kit.
What devices can charged from the Battery Pack?
This system is compatible with the auto-accessory chargers of the Iridium 9505A, 9555, and 9575
handheld phones, the Iridium GO!, Inmarsat IsatPhone PRO, Inmarsat IsatPhone 2, and all BGAN
terminals sold by Outfitter Satellite. In general, any device that can be recharged using an auto-
accessory charger that requires less than 4 A at 12 VDC can be charged from the battery pack.
Laptops and other devices that have auto-accessory chargers:
Outfitter Satellite recommends that you use manufacturer-approved auto-accessory chargers for
your satellite phone, laptop, or other electronic device. Select 12 V on the output voltage slider
switch of the battery pack. Connect a manufacturer-approved auto-accessory charger to the
battery pack’s OUTPUT port. Never adjust output voltage slider switch while a device is charging.
The maximum output current of the battery pack is 4 A at 12 VDC, so if you are charging a device
that consumes a lot of power while running, like a laptop computer, perform the recharge while the
laptop is powered OFF.
Iridium satellite phones and the Iridium GO!:
Most Iridium phones and the Iridium GO! Hotspot have batteries with between 10 and 15 Watt-
Hours of energy storage. So, the 72-Watt-Hour battery pack (at room temperature) can recharge
an Iridium phone at least 4 times before needing to be recharged itself. Extreme heat or cold will
change the charging performance, and the battery pack will decrease in performance as it ages.
Optimizer Hotspot & Iridium AxcessPoint:
The Optimizer hotspot can be directly powered from the battery pack using the DC car charging
cable connected to the cigarette lighter output cable connected to the battery pack. The battery
pack’s output voltage slider switch must be set to12 VDC output mode — not 16 VDC or 19 VDC.
Using higher voltage could eventually damage the Optimizer hotspot.
The Iridium AxcessPoint and the Optimizer Wi-Fi Hotspot have an AC wall adapter. It is possible
to use an AC Inverter (not supplied) connected to the battery pack’s cigarette lighter output cable.
THE USER IS WARNED THAT AN AC INVERTER OUTPUTS 110+ VAC SO THAT DANGEROUS
EVEN FATAL ELECTROCUTION HAZARD EXISTS IF IT BECOMES WET. In general, Outfitter
Satellite recommends AGAINST using AC Inverters which produce voltages which are dangerous
in a potentially wet outside environment. Some AC Inverters are not compatible with the 10-Watt
Compact Solar Charger.
Charging an electronic device using the battery pack’s USB output port:
If you have a small USB rechargeable device like an iPhone, connect the device’s USB charger
cable to the USB output port of the battery pack. Press the battery pack’s POWER BUTTON for
3 seconds to activate the USB port. The fuel gauge will show the battery charge level. You
can power off the USB port by pressing the POWER BUTTON again for 3 seconds.
Optional adapter cables and connectors (NOT INCLUDED WITH RENTAL KIT):
The 10-Watt Compact Solar Charger kit can be purchased (but not rented) with a coiled USB
cable (with a mini-USB and a micro-USB adapter) and a 30” cable (with ten different adapter
plugs). The adapter plugs can connect to selected electronic devices including some popular
brands of laptops. Use at your own risk. Failure to follow your device manufacturer’s power input
specifications could damage your device. All electronic devices are not supported by the cable,
and Outfitter Satellite cannot provide assistance with third party electronic equipment and accepts
no liability for any damage that might occur to your electronic device.
