Solar Freeloader Pico PC1005 Mode D'emploi page 11

3. What performance can I expect from
Freeloader Pico?
• After 1 day, outside in full sun (8am to
6pm) Freeloader Pico will be pretty much
fully charged. When connected to your
device it will deliver power for 20 to 45
minutes depending on the device.
• If Freeloader Pico is positioned behind
a window in sunny conditions, the time
needed to fully charge Freeloader Pico's
battery will be up to 3 days. The reason
for this increase in time is that most glass
incorporates UV filters, which naturally
reduce the amount of irradiation needed
to enable the solar panels to operate
effectively.
• In cloudy conditions, Freeloader Pico may
take approximately 2 times longer to
charge than the above mentioned times,
but this is depending on the time of year,
density of cloud etc.
4. Can I charge my Freeloader Pico from
the sun whilst at the same time powering
a device?
• No. If Freeloader Pico is empty you will
not be able to simultaneously charge
and deliver power. The reason is that
Freeloader Pico delivers power to a device
approximately 10 times quicker than
its solar cell can charge up its internal
battery.
