Maintenance
Chapter 4 provides information on maintaining your internal
battery and recharging options for the internal battery.
Routine maintenance is required to keep your Powerpack
Solar 400 operating properly. Occasionally clean the exterior
of the unit with a damp cloth to remove the accumulated dust
and dirt.
Solar Panel Maintenance
The cells of the solar panel are protected by a special plastic
material. Use a soft damp cloth to wipe off dirt, oil, and other
debris that may significantly block the cells of the solar panel
and degrade its ability to collect sunlight.
Do not immerse the solar panel in water.
Battery Maintenance
All rechargeable batteries gradually discharge when left
standing and need to be recharged periodically to maintain
maximum battery capacity. The AC Charger supplied with
the Powerpack Solar 400 is designed to regulate the charging
process, ensuring that the battery is always fully charged but
never overcharged. To ensure safe recharging and maximum
battery life, recharge the Powerpack Solar 400 only with the
supplied AC Charger or the Solar Panel.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Disconnect all sources of AC power and DC power before
performing any type of maintenance.
