My solar panel does not fully charge the battery.

The solar power generated by the solar panel is received by the solar charge controller. You always want to connect the battery first panels second to your controller. It safeguards the deep cycle batteries from being overcharged during the day. A solar charge controller is a component that helps manage the power that is going into the battery store from the solar panel.

This means that on that scenario the solar panel delivered 60 watts of power to charge the battery. Try charging the battery to 100 as well as checking the solar panel connection is clear of any debris and is securely connected to the cam. If the camera is still not powering on hold the setup button for 20 seconds. Also a high number of events may drain a battery quicker than a trickle charge can restore it.

You may need to try a different power outlet or micro usb charging cable if there are no charging lights lighting up on the battery. Contact support if the issue persists. Deb from gilbert ariz wants to know. You can get the amount of energy it will provide the battery by multiplying 10 watts by 6 hours which will give you 60 wh.

Keep in mind the solar panel needs a few hours of direct sunlight per day to charge as expected. If not you might have a bad controller. So if you have a solar panel that with a 10 watts power rating and it is exposed to sunlight for at least 6 hours. However before you can get started you ll need to install a charge controller which regulates the voltage from the solar panel as it s transferred to the battery.
