Cannot Charge Troubleshooting
Possible Reasons for Solar Panel Charging Failure:
Loose Connections or Improper Use of Connectors: Incorrect use of connectors, improper wiring, or broken cables can prevent charging.
Connection Check: If the connections are correct, the indicator lights and display should show relevant charging information (this varies by model, so check both the indicator light, charging icon, and screen display).
Faulty Solar Panel: A malfunctioning solar panel will not charge the portable power station (always check that the panel is working before use).
Faulty Solar Charging Circuit: If the solar panel and connections seem fine, the issue may lie with the charging circuit, in which case, after-sales service is needed.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Check Connections: Ensure that the connections between the solar panel and the portable power station are secure. Verify that you are using the correct wiring and connectors.
- Verify Correct Connections: After confirming the connections are correct, check whether the charging indicator light is on and if the screen shows the charging icon and power output.
- Use Elimination Method: If charging is still not working, eliminate potential issues step by step. For example, check if the portable power station charges via the car charger. If it charges normally with the car charger but not the solar panel, the problem may be with the solar panel or the solar charging circuit.
Notes: Different Models: Solar charging interfaces vary by model. Be sure to use the correct adapters for your system.
Solar Charging Preconditions:
- Ensure the solar panel is in good condition.
- Verify that solar charging conditions are met: appropriate sunlight intensity, temperature, angle of exposure, and air quality.
