Frequently Asked Questions - SPBS 5000 A1 SILVERCREST

How do I recharge the internal battery of the solar charger?

You can recharge the built-in battery in two ways:
1. Solar panel: Expose the solar panel to direct sunlight. The orange solar LED indicates charging; when it turns green, the battery is full.
2. USB cable: Connect the provided micro-USB cable to a USB wall charger (5 V/2.1 A minimum). The charge status LEDs indicate the level.

How long does it take to fully charge the charger?

Charging time depends on the method used:
With the solar panel: approximately 22 to 30 hours (depending on sunlight).
With a USB cable and a 5 V/2.1 A wall charger: approximately 3 to 4 hours.

Can I charge an external device while the charger itself is charging?

Yes, it's possible. The charger supports simultaneous charging of the internal battery and a connected device, whether via the solar panel or the micro-USB port.

Why is my phone not charging?

Several possible causes:
- Make sure you briefly pressed the ON/OFF button to start charging.
- Check that the charger's battery is not empty.
- Check the USB cable connection.
- Your device requires a current between 80 mA and 2.1 A; if not, the charger turns off automatically.

What devices can I charge with this solar charger?

You can charge any device that requires a charging current between 80 mA and 2.1 A, for example: smartphones, MP3 players, digital cameras, etc. Devices requiring more than 2.1 A are not compatible.

Is the charger waterproof or water-resistant?

No, the charger is not waterproof. It must not be exposed to water splashes or drips. Avoid using it in the rain or near liquids.

Can I use the charger in a car?

Yes, you can use it in a car, but make sure the ambient temperature does not exceed +45 °C. In summer, the car interior can become very hot; remove the device from the vehicle if necessary.

How do I maintain and clean the charger?

Clean the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent. Never use abrasive products, solvents, or harsh cleaners. Make sure no moisture enters the device.

What if the charger does not turn on?

If the charger turned off automatically, briefly recharge it with a USB wall charger (5 V/2.1 A) for a few minutes, then try to turn it on again by pressing the ON/OFF button. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Is the charger covered by a warranty?

Yes, the warranty is 3 years from the date of purchase. It covers material and manufacturing defects. Keep the receipt as proof of purchase. For any claims, contact customer service (tel. [phone] in France).

Charging with the solar panel

CAUTION

• Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed 45^ C . This is particularly important when using the device inside a motor vehicle.

You can charge the battery of the device with the solar panel 1. Ensure that the solar panel 1 is receiving sufficient sunlight. As soon as there is sufficient sunlight, the solar LED 2 lights up orange to show that the battery is being charged. If the solar LED 2 does not light up, there is not enough sunlight available. In this case, change the location of the device or place the device in direct sunlight. Once the solar LED 2 lights up green, the battery is fully charged.

Charging with the USB cable

If there is no sunlight available, you can charge the battery of the device with the USB cable 10.

CAUTION

Due to the high battery capacity and bearing in mind the charging time, we recommend charging the power bank using a USB mains adaptor (not supplied).
Use only a USB mains adapter with an output voltage of 5 V and an output current of at least 2.1 A to charge the power bank

To do this, connect the micro-USB plug of the charging cable to the device's micro-USB port ⑦.
Connect the USB plug of the USB cable to the USB connection of a USB mains adapter.

A rough estimate of the charge level is shown during charging by means of the charge level LEDs 5.

Charge level LEDs ⑤	Charge level
One LED is flashing < 25%
One LED is on, the second LED is flashing 25–49%
Two LEDs are on, the third LED is flashing 50–74%
Three LEDs are on, the fourth LED is flashing 75–99%
All LEDs are on 100%

Handling and operation

Switch the device on/off

Switching on

Press the ON/OFF button4 briefly to switch on the device.

The charge level LEDs light up for about 10 seconds.

The LED lights up blue as long as a connected device is being charged.

Automatic switch-off

If no device is connected for charging within 10 seconds, the charger switches off automatically to conserve its battery.

Switching off

Press and hold the ON/OFF button for at least 3 seconds to switch off the device and stop the charging process.

The LED does out.

Display charge level

Press the ON/OFF button4 briefly to show the charge level of the non-loaded battery for a few seconds. The charge level LEDs 5 provide you with information about the approximate charge level.

Charge level LEDs ⑤	Charge level
All LEDs are on 75 -100 %
Three LEDs are on 50 - 74 %
Two LEDs are on 25 - 49 %
One LED is on 5 - 24 %
One LED is flashing < 5 %
All LEDs off 0 %

Compatible devices

You can use the solar charger to charge end devices that require a charging current of at least 80mA and a maximum of 2,1 A.

If the connected end device requires a current of less than 80mA or more than 2,1 A, the solar charger will switch itself off immediately after being switched on with the ON/OFF button. In this case, check the charger's suitability for your end device on the basis of the technical data of your end device.

NOTE

If the device switches off automatically, it can only be switched back on if it has been charged for a short time beforehand with a USB mains adapter.

Charging external devices

Connect the charging cable of your end device to the USB port 6 on the solar charger and to your end device.

If charging does not start automatically, press the ON/OFF button 4 briefly to start the charging process.

The LED lights up for as long as the connected device is being charged. Once your device is fully charged, the solar charger switches off. To interrupt the charging process, you can disconnect the end device. If your end device is not fully charged and the LED does out during charging, this means the solar charger's battery is discharged. The solar charger's battery must be recharged again before you can charge end devices.

Simultaneous charging of the integrated battery and a connected end device is possible in solar operation and via the micro USB port 7.

Troubleshooting

A connected device is not charging.

Press the ON/OFF button to briefly to start the charging process.
The solar charger's battery is empty. Charge the battery.
No connection to the device. Check the connection.
The solar charger can be used for end devices that require a charging current of no more than 2,1 A. If the connected end device requires a current of more than 2,1 A, the solar charger will switch itself off immediately after being switched on with the ON/OFF button. In this case, check the charger's suitability for your end device on the basis of the technical data of your end device.

The device will not switch on.

The device has switched itself off automatically. You need to charge the device for a short while with a USB mains adapter before you can switch the device back on.

The solar charger's battery is not charging via the solar panel.

Check that the solar panel is receiving sufficient sunlight.

NOTE

If the above-mentioned solutions do not resolve the problem, please contact Customer Service (see chapter Service).

Cleaning

CAUTION

Damage to the device!

• To avoid irreparable damage to the device, ensure that no moisture can penetrate the device during cleaning.
• Do not use caustic, abrasive or solvent-based cleaning materials. These can damage the surfaces of the device.

NOTE

A contaminated device will not perform as well.

Clean the surfaces of the device with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent.

Storage when not in use

If you do not intend to use the device for a long time, store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
If the solar charger is not going to be used for some time, the battery should be recharged at regular intervals. This helps to preserve battery performance.
