V88 Laptop Battery & Solar Charger Instructions
For Laptops, Drones, Cameras & USB Electronics
Instructions
The Voltaic V88 Laptop Battery is designed to charge most laptops,
tablets, cell phones, and DSLR cameras. Battery can be recharged
while it is charging a laptop or other device. For devices that require a
lot of power (such as large laptops) ensure the V88 has at least a
partial charge before charging and discharging at the same time.
The interior of a solar charger case can become hot in the
sun.
In hot conditions, open the battery compartment to
increase air flow and avoid overheating.

Laptop Charging Tips:
•
For correct voltage setting, see back of laptop or AC charger (Output
Voltage). Use that voltage level (or lower) to charge.
•
If the V88 turns off unexpectedly, connect to a power source to reset.
•
Charge your laptop in Sleep Mode to avoid overloading the V88.
•
Use laptop power management to maximize battery life and turn off WiFi
whenever possible.
•
For Dell & HP adapters, the standard "J" adapter will run the laptop but
will not recharge the battery. See our website for custom adapters.
•
For MacBooks, a refurbished MagSafe adapter may be required. Visit

Tips for Fastest Solar Charging
1.
Place solar panel(s) outside in direct sunlight. Panel(s) will not
work inside. Charge time increases on cloudy days.
2.
Point panel(s) directly at the sun, avoid shading the panel(s).
3.
Confirm battery is charging - Battery Level Indicator will flash in
sequence.
4.
The Input Power Indicator shows power generated.
Charge From AC Power
Connect the 20V AC Charger to the DC Input Port on the V88. The
Battery Level Indicator will flash in sequence.
Optional UK, EU, and AU adapters are available at:

Charge V88 fully every 5 months to preserve battery life. Store between
-20º to 35ºC (-4º to 95ºF). Charge between 0º to 45ºC (32º to 113ºF). Do
not expose the battery to high heat or direct flame. Dispose of properly. Do
not throw in trash or incinerate. Do not get battery wet, or store in high
humidity, or otherwise short circuit. Do not disassemble or tamper with.
