Charging myPower ALL Plus
To charge MP3450i, you can use either the included power adapter or a solar panel. The steps to charge
with either of these devices are described in this section.
Charging with a Power Adapter
myPower ALL Plus will charge in four hours when completely empty. The green CHARGE indicator will
turn on after the battery is 80% charged. Therefore, you should view the actual battery capacity before
disconnecting the power adapter to stop charging. (Before using myPower ALL Plus for the first time,
you must charge the device for four hours.)
1. Remove the output cord from the DC OUT jack, if connected.
2. Plug the power adapter into the DC IN jack on the end of myPower ALL Plus.
3. Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.
The red CHARGE indicator will turn on to indicate the
battery is charging and is less than 80% charged.
4. When the green charge indicator turns on, press the Capacity Level Button to view the battery
capacity. If the capacity does not indicate full (green LEDs on), continue to charge the battery until
the battery capacity indicates full.
5. When the battery capacity indicates full, unplug the power adapter.
NOTE: myPower ALL Plus will automatically shut down the power input when fully charged, so you can
charge it overnight.
Charging with a Solar Panel
You can charge myPower ALL Plus using a compatible solar panel. The solar panel can connect to the
DC IN port, or the 3-Pin Input Port, depending upon the type of solar panel. The DC IN port is designed
for use with a DC power adapter with constant current input. Charging myPower ALL Plus efficiently
requires a minimum of 1A current output from the solar panel. In general, a 25W or higher
solar panel should provide sufficient power to charge myPower ALL Plus.
