Features

• Battery Power Solutions SunPower 40W Solar Panel includes:
  - SunPower 40W Solar Panel
  - Connector Tip
  - DC Input Cord
  - Charge Controller
• Low profile panels with anti-reflective coating produce more energy from any angle
• Flexible, lightweight three-panel design folds to 11" x 11" and weighs only 2.2 lbs making it ultra portable
• Compatible with both the Freedom CPAP Battery and the discontinued C-100 CPAP Battery
• CPAP Battery Charge Time:
  - Charge times will vary depending upon the amount of direct sunlight that hits the solar cells
  - Optimal charging conditions include: direct sunlight with the panels angled toward the sun, no clouds, no hanging branches or obstructions to sunlight, no shade covering any of the panels, and no dirt or debris on the solar cells
  - In optimal charging conditions, the Freedom CPAP Battery or C-100 CPAP Battery can be quicker charged by the SunPower Solar Panel up to 80% capacity in 4-5 hours and a full charge can be obtained in approximately 8 hours when the battery is fully discharged
• Charging Other Small Electronic Devices:
  - Please note that the SunPower Solar Panel does not have an internal charge controller; therefore, it is important to read the charging instructions for your specific device as overcharging may result in damage to the devices internal battery
• Also Available (Separately):
  - Battery Power Solutions Freedom CPAP Battery (Battery Only)

More Information

• Charging Other Small Electronic Devices:
  - To charge small electronic devices that operate from 18V or less:
  - Plug the DC input cord into the connection cord of the SunPower Solar Panel.
  - Plug the DC power cord of the small electronic device into the DC input cord.
  - Connect your electronic device to its DC power cord.
  - Place the SunPower Solar Panel facing toward direct sunlight to begin the charging process.
  - Make sure to read the charging instructions for your specific device. The SunPower Solar Panel does not have an internal charge controller and overcharging your device may result in damage to the devices internal battery.
  - As soon as charging is complete disconnect the SunPower Solar Panel from the electronic device.
• Freedom or C-100 CPAP Battery Charging Instructions:
  - Unzip the front pocket of the SunPower Solar Panel and gently pull out the connection cord.
  - Squeeze the quick release buckles and unfold the three solar panels with the solar cells facing outward.
  - Plug the connector tip into the solar panel connection cord.
  - Plug the connection cord with connector tip attached into the DC IN jack of the battery.
• Dual Battery Configuration:
  - Plug the DC power pigtail cord included with the CPAP battery kit into the DC IN jacks of both batteries.
  - Plug the connector tip into the DC power pigtail cord.
  - Plug the DC power pigtail cord with connector tip attached into the SunPower Solar Panel connection cord.
  - Place the SunPower Solar Panel angled toward direct sunlight to begin the charging process.
  - See the Optimal Charging Conditions section on the previous page. Avoid leaving the battery in direct sunlight during charging by covering it or placing it in the shade of the angled solar panels.
  - When charging is complete disconnect the battery from the SunPower Solar Panel.
• Optimal Charging Conditions:
  - Direct sunlight with the solar panels angled toward the sun between 30° to 50° from the horizontal (flat) moving the panels throughout the day to follow the movement of the sun, no clouds, no shade covering any of the solar panels, no hanging branches or other obstructions to direct sunlight, no dirt or debris on the solar panels.
• Safety and Care Instructions:
  - While the SunPower Solar Panel is flexible, only fold the natural creases in the all-cloth portions of the panel.
  - Do not fold with the solar cells facing outward. Always protect the solar cells when not in use.
  - Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries or devices with non-rechargeable batteries.
  - Do not machine wash, machine dry, or dry clean.
  - If dirt or debris collect on the solar panels use a clean, wet cloth to wipe the panels. Do not use soap or solvents as they can create a film on the solar panels which can affect performance.
  - Make sure the SunPower Solar Panel is clean and dry before storage.
• Important Points:
  - Solar panels themselves are weather-resistant and will not be harmed if exposed to rain or snow; however, the connection cord is not weather-resistant and must be kept dry.
  - SunPower Solar Panel does not hold a charge. The solar panels only produce power when exposed to sunlight and that power is not stored.
  - SunPower Solar Panel is not designed for continuous outdoor usage. Once your device has finished charging, wipe the SunPower Solar Panel with a clean, dry cloth and fold for storage.
  - As long the small electronic device meets the voltage requirements of the SunPower Solar Panel (18V or less) and has a DC power cord you can connect your device to the SunPower Solar Panel by using the provided DC input cord.
