model) with no sunlight.
Warning! The battery must be disconnected and removed from the
energizer before connecting it to a battery charger.
Energizer maintenance
Clean the solar panel regularly with a soft cloth using glass cleaner or
a mild solution of detergent and water. This will ensure the solar
panel functions efficiently.
When transporting the energizer, protect the solar panel to prevent
the glass surface from being damaged.
Energizer storage
If the energizer is stored for an extended period, the battery may
discharge and become damaged.
The energizer should be stored inside, next to a window, where
sunlight can shine on the energizer each day.
If the energizer cannot be stored in a sunny position, it should be
kept in a cool place. The battery should be fully charged and
disconnected from the energizer. The battery should be recharged
manually every six months using a suitable 12 V battery charger.
