Voltaic 6W Solar Charger Kit with V15 Battery - V6W15K

Voltaic 6 Watt Solar Charger Kit with 15V Battery

• At 6 Watts, this waterproof, lightweight panel provides great charging performance for both smartphones and 7" tablets. Slide the panel in your bag or mount it nearly anywhere for a minimal, tough charging solution.
• Charge smartphones, tablets and other handheld electronics that charge from USB with the V15 Battery. Use the V15's "Always On" functionality for Arduinos and other devices you want to run 24 x 7.
• Upgrade to the V44 battery for more power storage.  Refer product code V6W44K
• Charge many Android phones directly via the MicroUSB adapter.

Applications and Charge Times

• The most common application for this kit is to charge smartphones and tablets via our V15 battery. Some, but not all, Android smartphones will charge directly from the panel via our F3511-MicroUSB adapter. This system will not charge digital cameras that require you to remove the battery for charging.
• Approximate Charge Time from 6 Watt Panel**
• Voltaic V15 Battery: 5.5 hours
• Smartphone via Voltaic battery: 3.5 hours
• Smartphone direct (when possible): <3 hours
• **For maximum power output, orient the panels towards the sun. When not angled towards the sun, output will be reduced. Dirt and scratches on the face of the panels will reduce the amount of light hitting the solar cells. Clean the panels with a damp non-abrasive cloth. Charge times are estimated based on optimal conditions and may increase in cloudy weather, high temperatures, or when panels are not angled towards the sun.
