Freeloader FAQ Please
Note: We recommend your
first charge for your
freeloader should be via
USB 1. The first charge
given to Freeloader using
the USB connection cable
takes longer than noted
in the manual? *We
recommend that the first
charge given to
Freeloader (from new) is
done from the USB charge
cable connected to a PC
or lap top. The reason
for this is that the
first charge will take
the longest (between 4
&ndash 6hours). Like most
new devices using a
lithium ion battery, the
first charge will always
take longer than
subsequent charges.
Please keep the
Freeloader connected to
the USB until the central
LED (B) turns from red to
green. 2. The
instructions say I should
have green lights on the
two outer LED&rsquos (A
& C) but I have
red? *Our original hub
had green LED&rsquos (A
& C) however this was
changed to red LED&rsquos
because the red LED
consumes less energy than
green. Most user manuals
have now been amended.
3. My Freeloader 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. *Please ensure
Freeloader is given
exposure to sunny
conditions for between 5
to 10 hours. *Ensure
the Freeloader is
outside, facing south,
in an un-shaded position
and ideally tilted at a
45 degree angle. *If
Freeloader is connected
to a device that has a
near full battery (if for
example you were testing
Freeloader from new),
Freeloader would,
potentially, not deliver
power because if the
battery in the device has
more or equal power than
the Freeloader,
Freeloader will not be
able to deliver power.
Wait until the device to
be charged is 50% to 60%
full. 4. The
instructions say the
outer Red LED&rsquos
should go green when the
Freeloader hub is fully
charged from the solar
cells but this has never
happened? *The outer
LED&rsquos will never go
green! The reason the
lights will not turn
green is that a voltage
regulator has been built
into the solar charging
circuit. This means that
when the hub gets to
98.5% full charge, power
is cut from the solar
cells, so protecting the
hub from overcharging and
subsequent damage. 5.
How do I know when the
Freeloader hub is fully
charged and can I use the
power from Freeloader
even if it&rsquos not
fully charged? *There
is no indication
Freeloader gives when its
battery hub is fully
charged from the solar
cells (see point 4
above). However, this is
not strictly necessary
because Freeloader will
deliver power whatever
state of charge is in its
battery hub. 6. What
performance I can expect
from Freeloader? *After
1 day in full sun (9am to
6pm) the Freeloader hub
will be pretty much fully
charged. When connected
to your device it will
deliver power for
20minutes to 1hour
depending on the device.
*If Freeloader is
positioned behind a
window, again facing
south for a 1day charge
in full sun conditions
the time needed to fully
charge Freeloader&rsquos
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 solar
panels to operate
effectively *In cloudy
conditions, Freeloader
may take approximately 1
12 times longer to charge
than the above mentioned
times, but this is
depending on the time of
year, density of cloud
etc. 7. Can I charge my
Freeloader hub whilst at
the same time powering a
device? *No. If
Freeloader&rsquos hub is
empty you will not be
able to simultaneously
charge and deliver power.
The reason is that
Freeloader delivers power
to a device approximately
10 times quicker than its
solar cells can charge up
its hub. 8. Will
charging Freeloader from
its solar cells behind
glass cause me any
problems? *Not really a
problem but it will
increase the time needed
to charge the hub
sometimes up to three
times longer than if
outside. &ndash see point
3 above. 9. I have
Freeloader positioned on
a shady windowsill. Will
the Freeloader still
charge? *Yes the
Freeloader will still be
charged by its solar
cells but it will take a
lot longer compared to
being outside in full sun
&ndash up to 4-5 days
longer in fact. 10. How
long will
Freeloader&rsquos hub
store its power
for? *The Freeloader
can store the power
without any significant
loss for around 3 months.
11. Can I leave the
Freeloader out in the
rain? *No we do not
recommend getting the
Freeloader wet, however,
should this happen
accidentally, please dry
both hub and cells in a
dry airy position away
from children and food
stuffs. The solar cells
should be fine however,
the hub / battery may be
unsalvageable. A trial
will soon tell, however,
we would recommend this
trial be done outside by
the solar cells only and
NOT the USB charge
cable. 12. How do I
connect Freeloader to my
iPod as I don&rs seem to
have a connector in the
Freeloader pack that fits
the iPod? *To connect
up an iPod please use the
original sync cable (the
cable you use for
connecting the iPod to a
PC) and connected it to
the female USB connector
tip supplied with the
Freeloader. 13. I have
a device that can be
charged via my computers
USB port can the
Freeloader charge
it? *Yes the Freeloader
should be able to charge
it 14. Are there any
devices that Freeloader
cannot
power? *Freeloader has
a voltage range of 3v to
5.5v, so any device that
needs a higher voltage
such as a lap top, video
camera is outside the
range of Freeloader.
*Some digital
camera&rsquos where the
battery of the camera
needs to be removed and
inserted into a cradle to
charge.
