If the power station meets the following 3 criteria, and then you'll be able to use it properly:
1. If the third party power station supports solar charging
2. The output power of the SolarSaga 100W is 18V
3. If the cable connector size is 8mm

1. We recommend keeping the battery power above 20%, when in use or storing the power station regularly.
2. A fully charged battery can last for several months. However, please recharge it every 3 months to keep the battery power above 50% when not in use.
And store in a dry and cool place, the temperature range is between 0°C and 40°C, the humidity range is between 0% and 60%, and avoid contact with corrosive substances, and keep away from fire and heat sources.

The Solupup power station can be charged with a third party brand solar panel, it must match the below conditions, for example,
1. The voltage must be between 12-30v
2. The plug connection size: Outer diameter 7.9mm, inner diameter 5.5mm, inner needle diameter 0.9mm (empty)
3. We assume no responsibility for product damage caused by the use of solar panels or accessories from other brands. As we cannot guarantee the quality of other products, we do not provide after-sales service.

Both 100W solar panels and power stations are not waterproof. Even with IPX67 waterproof Solar panel 200W, the solar panels are not recommended to use in rain, as water will cause damage to the connection ports.To maximize the lifespan of the unit, please make sure you retrieve the panels when it is raining.

1: Series connection: Solar panels cannot be connected in series to charge the energy storage, the series circuit will lead to current limitation.

2: Parallel connection: The parallel connection of solar panels of different specifications needs to be divided into 2 different situations, combined with specific models to distinguish:

A. Parallel connection of solar panels with different specifications has no effect on the charging power.
-Mainly limited to models with 2 DC charging ports and the charging ports are relatively independent , parallel connection between 80W, 100W, and 200W has no effect on charging power;

B. Solar panels of different specifications are connected in parallel, and when there is a small deviation in the operating voltage of the parallel circuit, the expected power loss is also small .
B1. The charging power of 80W mixed with 100W and 200W in parallel will be 5-7% lower than the theoretical value.
-80W solar panel and 100W/200W, there is a voltage difference of 3-4V.
B2. The charging power of 100W and 200W in parallel has no effect.
-There is no voltage difference between 100W and 200W solar panels, which has no effect on charging power.
