Frequently Asked Questions - SLS 2200 B2 SILVERCREST

How to charge the internal battery of the PowerBank?

You can charge the internal battery in two ways: via the solar panel (expose the solar panel to direct sunlight) or via the supplied USB cable by plugging it into a powered computer or a USB 5 V / 0.5 A power adapter (not included).

How long does it take to fully charge the battery via the solar panel?

The charging time via the solar panel varies from 22 to 30 hours depending on the intensity of solar radiation (season, cloud cover, location).

Can I charge an external device while the internal battery is being charged via USB?

No, it is not possible to simultaneously charge the internal battery and an external device via the USB input (IN). However, you can do this in solar mode: the solar panel can charge the internal battery while charging a device connected to the output.

What should I do if my external device does not charge?

Check that the PowerBank is turned on (briefly press the On/Off button). Make sure the internal battery is sufficiently charged. Check the cable connection. If your device requires a charging current higher than 1 A, the PowerBank cannot charge it and will turn off automatically.

How to interpret the battery capacity indicators?

Briefly press the On/Off button to display the level: 1 flashing light = 0-25%, 1 solid + 3 flashing = 25-50%, 2 solid + 2 flashing = 50-75%, 3 solid + 1 flashing = 75-100%, all solid = 100%.

What should I do if the solar indicator does not light up?

The orange solar indicator lights up only when the sunlight is sufficient. If it does not light up, move the device to a better exposed location or in direct sunlight.

How to install the supplied suction cups?

Two options: Option I: attach the suction cups directly under the PowerBank to place it on a flat surface. Option II: attach the suction cups to the brackets, then insert the brackets into the holes on the back of the PowerBank to fix it behind a window. Make sure the surface is clean and dry.

Can I use a non-supplied USB power adapter to charge the PowerBank?

Yes, you can use a USB 5 V power adapter with a current of at least 500 mA. Plug it via the supplied USB cable into the IN input port of the PowerBank.

Does the PowerBank turn off automatically?

Yes, if no device is connected within 20 seconds after power-on, it turns off automatically to save battery. You can also turn it off manually by holding the On/Off button for 3 seconds.

How to clean the PowerBank?

Use a clean, dry cloth to clean the device. Never use corrosive liquids. If smoke or an unusual odor occurs, immediately disconnect all cables and stop using the device.

You can now mount the Solar Power Bank to a flat, even surface using the suction pads.

Option II

Option II can be used to mount the Solar Power Bank behind a window. Fix the four suctions pads (D) to the holder (C) as shown in the diagram below. Insert the suction pads (D) into the hole. Next, fix the suction pads (D) by sliding them into the smaller hole. Next mount the holder (C) to the bottom of the Solar Power Bank. To do so, insert the holding notches into the corresponding holes on the back of the device.

You can now mount the Solar Power Bank behind a window using the suction pads.

The surface should be free of dust, oil and grease for the suction pads to stick well.

Charging using the solar panel

Make sure that the maximum ambient temperature of +45 °C is not exceeded. This is especially important if you are using the product in a car.

You can charge the built-in battery of the Solar Power Bank using the solar panel (1). Make sure that the solar panel (1) receives sufficient sunlight. As soon as there is enough sunlight, the Solar LED (2) goes orange to indicate that the battery is being charged. If the Solar LED (2) does not light up, there is not enough sunlight. In this case, move the device to a different position or place it in direct sunlight. When the Solar LED (2) goes green, the battery is fully charged.

Charging via the USB cable

If there is no sunlight, you can also charge the built-in battery in your Solar Power Bank using the USB cable (B). Insert the smaller plug of the USB cable (B) into the IN socket (7) of your Solar Power Bank. Then insert the USB plug of the USB cable (B) into a USB port on your computer. You can monitor the charging process using the Battery capacity LEDs (4).

Battery capacity LEDs (4) State of charge
All LEDs flashing in sequence 0 - 25 %
1 LED on, 3 LEDs flashing in sequence 25 - 50%
2 LEDs on, 2 LEDs flashing in sequence 50 - 75%
3 LEDs on, 1 LED flashing 75 - 100%
All LEDs on 100 %

Some computers do not supply USB power while they are turned off. If the battery of your Solar Power Bank does not charge, make sure your computer is powered on.

Alternatively, you can use an external USB power adapter (not supplied) to charge the battery of your Solar Power Bank. To do this, you will need the USB cable (B) supplied. You can purchase a suitable 5V USB power adapter with at least 500mA from any electronics retail outlet.

When not using the Solar Power Bank for a long time, it is recommended to recharge the battery from time to time. This ensures a longer battery endurance.

When using an external power adapter, it must be connected to an easily accessible wall outlet so that it can be disconnected quickly in case of an emergency.

Getting started

Using the ON/OFF pushbutton

Powering on

Briefly press the ON/OFF pushbutton (5) to switch the Solar Power Bank on. The 5V LED (3) and the battery capacity LEDs (4) light. After approx. 5 seconds the battery capacity LEDs (4) go off, and the output 5V LED (3) lights while a connected device is being charged.

Auto power off

If no device to be charged is connected within 20 seconds, the device will power off to safe battery power.

Powering off

Keep the ON/OFF pushbutton (5) pressed for at least 3 seconds to switch the Solar Power Bank off and to cancel the current charging process.

Viewing the battery level

Press the ON/OFF pushbutton (5) briefly to display the battery level for a few seconds. The Battery capacity LEDs (4) indicate the battery level as a percentage (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%).

Compatible devices

The Solar Power Bank can be used to charge external devices with a max. charging current of 1A.

If the charging current of your connected device exceeds 1A, the Solar Power Bank will automatically power off after you turn it on with the ON/OFF pushbutton (5). In this case, double-check the external device compatibility by reading its technical specifications (operating instructions).

Charging external devices

Connect the charger cable of your external device to the OUT socket (6) of the Solar Power Bank and to your external device.

Now press the ON/OFF pushbutton (5) briefly to start the charging process. Then the 5V LED (3) lights while the connected device is being charged. When your external device is fully charged, the Solar Power Bank switches off. To cancel the charging process at any time, simply disconnect the external device. If your external device is not fully charged but the 5V LED (3) goes out during charging, the built-in battery of your Solar Power Bank is empty. You will need to recharge your Solar Power Bank in order to charge external devices. Recharging the built-in battery of your Solar Power Bank and an external device at the same time is only possible in solar mode. Recharging the Solar Power Bank and an external device at the same time via the USB IN port (7) is not possible.

Troubleshooting

A connected device is not charging.

• Press the ON/OFF pushbutton (5) briefly to start the charging process.
• The battery of your Solar Power Bank is empty, recharge it.
• No connection to the external device, double-check the connection.
• The Solar Power Bank can be used to charge external devices with a max. charging current of 1A. If the charging current of your connected device exceeds 1A, the Solar Power Bank will automatically power off after you turn it on with the ON/OFF pushbutton (5). In this case, double-check the external device compatibility by reading its technical specifications (operating instructions).

Cannot charge the battery of the Solar Power Bank using the solar panel.

- Make sure that the solar panel (1) is receiving enough sunlight.

Cannot charge the battery of the Solar Power Bank via the USB cable.

• Faulty connection, double-check the connection.
• Some computers do not supply USB power while they are turned off. If the battery of your Solar Power Bank does not charge, make sure your computer is powered on.
