The main power source of your camera is the lithium battery pack (LIT-10 comes with the camera for free), which provides a long charge time, more than double from AA batteries.
- The solar panel is designed to maintain the battery pack’s charge. Link Micro S LTE will be energy self-sufficient under ideal conditions.
- When the battery pack charge level becomes insufficient, the camera will turn off.
- The solar panel will continue to power the battery pack. However, for quick and complete recharging, connect the battery pack to a wall outlet using the supplied USB cable and a USB power adapter.
- When you restart your camera, after recharging the battery pack, it will return to the settings you previously selected.
Moreover, the camera was designed to recognize and use a primary power source other than the lithium battery pack:
- As soon as you plug an external 12V battery (BATT-12V, sold separately) into your camera, it becomes your camera’s new primary power source. The lithium battery pack will only be used once the 12V battery is depleted.
- Simply plug the 12V cable into the 12V jack of the camera and connect the other end to the 12V battery.
USING AN EXTERNAL 12V BATTERY
- Using an external 12V battery source does not recharge the lithium battery pack. • The solar panel will not recharge an external 12V battery.
