Charging your Solar iCharge Place you Solar iCharge in sunlight or incandescent light to begin taking back the sun. Simple as that! Alternatively, connect the Solar iCharge to a power source using the mini USB cable that was included with your Solar iCharge. The USB cable can be plugged into your computer or any “Made for iPhone” wall-plug style power source with USB out including the standard iPhone USB wall adaptor. To indicate charging the LEDs located on the back of the device will blink. As the Solar iCharge becomes more charged the LEDs will indicate how full it is, with one LED remaining blinking until completely full.
Charging your iPhone 4/4S using your Solar iCharge If your iPhone is drained of power or if you want to extend the battery life of your iPhone, simply slide the iPhone into your Solar iCharge. Make sure that the pin connector is securely inserted into the bottom of the iPhone. When the iPhone recognizes the Solar iCharge, a battery symbol will appear on the screen and you will hear a chirp from the iPhone, this indicates that the iPhone is charging and/or using the power from the Solar iCharge rather than from the

FAQs What are the best methods for charging my Solar iCharge? The quickest way to deliver a charge to your Solar iCharge case is by using the mini USB connector. The USB is compatible with a wall charger, a car charger or your PC. Expect a full charge to take 4-5 hours depending on the output of the connector adapter. The Solar iCharge will disperse energy into your iPhone in approximately 2-3 hours. FYI: Fast charging your iPhones with output energy currents faster than that can could potentially damage your iPhone.
How long does it take to get a full charge using only solar power with my Solar iCharge? Using the solar panel on the Solar iCharge is highly variable depending on the quality and quantity of the ambient sunlight. In our experience, a full day of bright sunlight will render an iPhone charge of approximately 20-30%. So, a full charge is possible in 3-4 days of solar charging with adequate sunlight. Because of the relatively small surface area of the solar panels, this is the most efficient output that is currently available with solar technology. If solar power is used in conjunction with the USB connector, you will get extensive battery life and functionality with your Solar iCharge. As we populate our blog with customer accounts and Ninja reports we will have more detailed experiences to share with you. Stay tuned.
I’ve seen claims that some solar charging cases extend battery life 300%? Can I expect this with Solar iCharge? You can expect an efficiency of about 80% from our 2400mAh battery. Energy is lost in the charging process and limits the battery performance. This converts to approximately 1900mAh of battery life to your iPhone (with a battery of 1420mAh).In simple, terms you will get 1.33 charges on average. So, it will technically extend your battery by 233%. We can also say that this is the most efficient and powerful battery available on the market for your iPhone. Claims are claims. Reality and accountability for truthful exchange is our mission at Solar iCharge. Our blogs and social networking references will bear this out, so why manipulate numbers? We respect our culture and encourage sharing your experiences.
