Recharging From a Solar Panel

Small, unregulated 12 V solar panels rated to produce a maximum

of 2.5 A (or 30 W) can be used to charge the Duracell

Powerpack

through the AC charger input socket. You will need to purchase

a standard 5.5 mm OD × 2.5 mm ID (0.217” × 0.10”) coaxial

DC (barrel type centre positive) connector to mate with the AC

charger input socket. These connectors are available at consumer

electronics stores.

To wire the coaxial DC connector:

1. Connect the solar panel’s red positive (+) wire to the

coaxial plug’s inner or centre contact.

2. Connect the solar panel’s black negative (–) wire to the

plug’s outer contact. See Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1 Typical DC Coaxial Connector Connection

Once the connector is inserted into the AC charger input

socket and the solar panel is placed in the sun, the Duracell

Powerpack charges automatically just as with the AC charger. See

“Recharging with the AC Charger” on page 22.
