How to optimize the battery life of the Fantaghiro? The fountain stops immediately when the sun disappears.

Question

Accepted Answer

The problem you describe is typical when the battery is not sufficiently charged or the solar panel is not receiving enough light. Here’s how to optimize the battery life:

Understanding your battery

The Fantaghiro has a 7.4V / 2000 mAh lithium battery. Its autonomy depends on the charge level indicated by the LEDs:

Green LED = battery charged: 6 to 8 hours of operation
Orange LED = partial charge: 2 to 4 hours
Red LED = low charge: 1 hour maximum

If the fountain stops after 1 minute, your LED is probably red.

Optimizing solar charge

Maximum panel exposure: The 3W solar panel of the Fantaghiro must receive maximum direct light. Ensure there is no shade (trees, buildings) between 10 AM and 4 PM.
Required charging time: A full charge requires about 1 day in full sun or 2-3 days in cloudy weather. If you haven't allowed the fountain to charge sufficiently, the battery life will remain very short.
Switch always ON: For the battery to recharge via the solar panel, the switch must remain activated at all times. Ensure you are not accidentally turning it off.

If the problem persists

If the LED remains red even after several days in the sun, the battery may be defective. Check the maintenance section of your manual to verify the charging contacts or contact Blumfeldt support.
