SOLAR CELL TRICKLE CHARGER FOR 12V BATTERY
1. Introduction
To all residents of the European Union
Important environmental information about this product
This symbol on the device or the package indicates that disposal of the device
after its lifecycle could harm the environment. Do not dispose of the unit (or
batteries) as unsorted municipal waste; it should be taken to a specialized
company for recycling. This device should be returned to your distributor or to
a local recycling service. Respect the local environmental rules.
If in doubt, contact your local waste disposal authorities.
Thank you for buying the SOL5N! This solar cell trickle charger helps to avoid battery drain
for 12V batteries (e.g. car batteries). When batteries go flat, they may be seriously
damaged and may never regain their full power. Please read the manual thoroughly before
bringing this device into service. If the device was damaged in transit, don't install or use it
and contact your dealer.
2. Contents
1. hole for suction caps
2. suction cups
3. connection cable
4. battery clamps
5. LED indicator
6. cigarette lighter plug
IMPORTANT: in some vehicles, the cigarette lighter may not be connected when the

3. Operation
• Attach the suction caps to the charger and attach the charger to the inside or outside
of the car windshield.
• Alternatively, you can mount the charger to a wall using the keyhole slots at the rear
of the charger.
• Connect the cable to either the cigarette lighter or directly to the battery.
• As long as there is sufficient sunlight, the charger will produce a small electrical
current to trickle charge your battery. The red LED (#4 in above figure) will flash
when the panel is trickle charging the battery.
• The charger will not overcharge or damage the battery. Similarly, a blocking diode
ensures that the charger cannot flatten your battery.
• Please note that the SOL5N is designed to trickle charge batteries to compensate for
the natural drainage. It is not intended to recharge a completely discharged battery.
• Disconnect the charger before starting the car or driving it. The electrical surges from
the car engine may damage the charger.
• Some vehicles have tinted windows that seriously affect the performance of the solar
charger if it is positioned behind them. For optimum results, place the SOL5N outside
the vehicle in direct sunlight.

op onze waarborg (zie waarborgvoorwaarden).
