4. Ürün Özellikleri

• High-Efficiency Monocrystalline Core: Precision-engineered with premium monocrystalline cells, delivering 20%-25% photoelectric conversion efficiency (STC). This outperforms polycrystalline and amorphous counterparts in energy yield under equivalent conditions.
• Adaptive Battery Preservation: Features intelligent two-phase charging: rapid bulk charging for low-voltage batteries, transitioning seamlessly to micro-current trickle mode at near-full capacity. This neutralizes self-discharge while preventing overcharge degradation, ensuring optimal 12V battery maintenance.
• Universal Compatibility Ecosystem: Offers versatile connectivity via OBDII, cigarette lighter, alligator clips, and O-ring interfaces. Supports vehicles, marine crafts, outdoor electronics (cameras, pumps, electric fences), and seasonal equipment. Compatible with lead-acid, LiFePO4, AGM, GEL, lithium, and flooded batteries.
• Fail-Safe Charging Intelligence: Integrated smart controller enables autonomous charge cycling – halting at full capacity and reactivating upon voltage drop. Guarantees zero reverse current discharge for perpetual battery safeguarding.
• Sustainable Energy Autonomy: Solar-powered preservation ideal for infrequently used assets. Proactively combats parasitic drain from vehicle telematics/alarms, ensuring instant start readiness. Engineered for battery longevity, not deep-cycle recharge.

5. Kurulum ve Kurulum

Follow these steps to set up and install your FlexSolar 20W Solar Panel Battery Charger Maintainer:

1. Güneş Panelini Açın: Carefully unfold the solar panel to its full size.
2. Positioning for Optimal Sunlight: Position the solar panel to receive maximum direct sunlight. The solar panels achieve optimal charging power when they are positioned perpendicular to the rays of light, or at a 90-degree angle. Use the included suction cups to mount the panel on a windshield or sunroof, or use carabiners to hang it.
3. Connect to Your Battery: Choose the appropriate connector for your battery type and vehicle. Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative).
   • OBDII Konektörü: Plug the SAE to OBD-II connector into the solar panel's SAE port, then plug the OBD-II end into your vehicle's OBD-II port.
   • Cigarette Lighter Connector: Plug the SAE to car charger connector into the solar panel's SAE port, then insert the car charger end into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
   • Timsah Klipsleri: Plug the SAE to alligator clip connector into the solar panel's SAE port. Connect the red alligator clip to the positive (+) terminal of your 12V battery and the black alligator clip to the negative (-) terminal.
   • O-Ring Terminalleri: Plug the SAE to O-ring terminal connector into the solar panel's SAE port. Secure the red O-ring to the positive (+) terminal of your 12V battery and the black O-ring to the negative (-) terminal.
4. Şarjı Doğrulayın: The integrated smart controller will automatically begin charging. Monitor the LED charging indicator on the controller to confirm charging status.

6. Kullanım Talimatları

The FlexSolar 20W Solar Panel operates autonomously once connected to a 12V battery and exposed to sunlight. It is designed for continuous maintenance charging.

• Otomatik Şarj: The built-in charge controller intelligently manages the charging process. It initiates rapid bulk charging when the battery voltage is low and transitions to a micro-current trickle mode as the battery approaches full capacity.
• Aşırı Şarj Koruması: The smart controller prevents overcharging by halting the charge when the battery reaches full capacity and reactivating it if the voltage düşer.
• Ters Akım Koruması: The controller ensures zero reverse current discharge, preventing the battery from draining back into the solar panel during periods of low light or darkness.
• LED Göstergesi: The LED indicator on the controller provides visual feedback on the charging status. Refer to the label on the controller for specific light indications (e.g., blue light for charging, red light for fully charged).

7. Bakım

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your FlexSolar 20W Solar Panel, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Temizlik: Güneş panelinin yüzeyini yumuşak bir bezle düzenli olarak temizleyin.amp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch the panel.
• Denetleme: Periodically inspect the panel and connectors for any signs of damage, wear, or corrosion. Ensure all connections are secure.
• Depolamak: When not in use for extended periods, store the solar panel in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is not manually folded or compressed.

8. Sorun Giderme

If you encounter issues with your FlexSolar 20W Solar Panel, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Şarj Göstergesi Yok:
  • Güneş panelinin doğrudan güneş ışığına maruz kaldığından emin olun.
  • Check all connections for proper seating and polarity.
  • Verify the battery is a 12V battery and is not fully charged. The controller will not charge a fully charged battery.
• Düşük Şarj Verimliliği:
  • Clean the solar panel surface to remove any obstructions.
  • Adjust the panel's angle to face the sun directly for optimal performance.
  • Ensure there are no shadows cast on the panel.
• Panel Açılmıyor:
  • Confirm the solar panel is receiving adequate sunlight.
  • Check the integrity of the cables and connectors for any damage.
