5. Will charging Freeloader Pico from its
solar cell behind glass cause me any
problems?
•
Not really a problem but it will increase
the time needed to charge, sometimes up
to three times longer than if outside.
6. I have Freeloader Pico positioned on a
shady windowsill. Will Freeloader Pico
still charge?
•
Yes Freeloader Pico will still be charged
by its solar cell but it will take a lot longer
compared to being outside in full sun – up
to 4-5 days longer in fact.
7. Can I leave Freeloader Pico out
in the rain?
•
No, we do not recommend getting
Freeloader Pico wet. However, should this
happen accidentally, please dry in
an airy position away from children and
foodstuffs. The solar cell should be fine;
however, the battery and circuit board may
be damaged. A trial will soon tell, however,
and we would recommend this trial be
done outside by the solar cells only and
NOT connected to a PC. Should the test
prove that Freeloader
Pico has been damaged, Solar
Technology International Ltd may be
able to repair the unit. Please contact
support@solartechnology.co.uk for more
information.
