Frequently Asked Questions (FreeLoader Pro)
1. My FreeLoader Pro has been outside, in the sun but when I connected it to my device, it
only charged for a short time and did not deliver much power?
• Please ensure the first charge is given by the USB cable.
• Please make sure you have removed the protective film from the solar cells as this will
radically reduce the effectiveness of the cells.
• For best performance, please ensure FreeLoader Pro is given exposure to sunny conditions
for 5 to 10 hours.
• Ensure the FreeLoader Pro is outside, facing south, in an unshaded position and ideally
tilted at a 45 degree angle.
• If FreeLoader Pro is connected to a device that has a near full battery, FreeLoader Pro
would, potentially, not deliver power. Wait until the device to be charged is 25% to 50% full.
2. How do I know when the FreeLoader Pro is fully charged and can I use the power from
FreeLoader Pro even if it's not fully charged?
• Press FreeLoader Pro's centre button (6, Fig 2) to show an indication of its charge.
FreeLoader Pro will deliver power whatever charge is in its battery, unless it is completely
empty.
3. What performance I can expect from FreeLoader Pro?
• After 1 day, outside in full sun (9am to 6pm) the FreeLoader Pro will be pretty much fully
charged. When connected to your device it will deliver power for 20 minutes to 1.5 hours
depending on the device.
• If FreeLoader Pro is positioned behind a window in sunny conditions the time needed to
fully charge FreeLoader Pro's battery will be up to 3 days. The reason for this increase
in time is that most glass incorporates UV filters, which naturally reduce the amount of
irradiation needed to enable the solar panels to operate effectively.
• In cloudy conditions, FreeLoader Pro may take approximately 2 times longer to charge than
the above mentioned times, but this is depending on the time of year, density of cloud etc.
4. Can I charge my FreeLoader Pro from the Sun whilst at the same time powering a
device?
• No. If FreeLoader Pro is empty you cannot simultaneously charge and deliver power. The
reason is that FreeLoader Pro delivers power to a device approximately 10 times quicker
than its solar cells can charge up its internal battery.
5. Will charging FreeLoader Pro from its solar cells behind glass cause me any problems?
• Not really a problem but it will increase the time needed to charge, sometimes up to three
times longer than if outside.
6. I have FreeLoader Pro positioned on a shady windowsill. Will the FreeLoader Pro still
charge?
• Yes the FreeLoader Pro will still be charged by its solar cells but it will take a lot longer
compared to being outside in full sun – up to 4-5 days longer in fact.
7. Can I leave the FreeLoader Pro out in the rain?
