  3. Connect Type-C Power Adapter (Optional): Alternatively, or in addition to solar, connect a 5V Type-C power adapter to the Type-C charging input (2) for battery charging.
  4. Поврзување на оптоварување: Connect your 5V device to the Power output (3) screw terminal. Ensure the device's current draw does not exceed 3A.

Важно: Always ensure correct polarity for all connections to prevent damage to the module and connected devices.

5. Упатства за работа

5.1 Полнење на батеријата

  • Соларно полнење: When a solar panel is connected and exposed to sufficient sunlight, the module will automatically begin charging the connected 3.7V Li-ion battery. The "Charge" LED (part of Solar panel charging indicators, 9) will illuminate. Once the battery is fully charged, the "Done" LED will light up.
  • Полнење од тип C: Connect a 5V Type-C power adapter to the Type-C input (2). The module will charge the battery. The BATT capacity indicators (8) will show the charging progress.

5.2 Напојување на надворешни уреди

  • The module provides a regulated 5V/3A output via the screw terminal (3). Connect your 5V device to this output.
  • The Type-C port (2) can also function as a 5V output for external devices when not used for charging.

5.3 LED индикатори

  • BATT Capacity Indicators (8): These LEDs light up when the battery is charging or under load. They will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the load is removed.
