Solar Laptop Charging Kit for those who depend on the sun to charge their laptops, cell phones and a vast array of hand held electronics.  This Solar Generator kit is designed to be a lightweight solar laptop charger for those who are very concerned about weight but need a reliable powerful electricity solution when they are off the grid.  Perfect for those summiting Everest to Peace Corp Volenteers who need to charge their electronics for extened periods away from the grid.

The kit contains a Sunlinq 5 25 watt portable folding solar panel with different charging connections.  Charge your electronics and batteries with the included cigarette lighter adapter or battery clamps.  To power your laptop and store electricity the Tekkeon my Power All 3450 is included.  It comes with a wide variety of adapter tips for laptops.  See below for computer compatibility.  It has a capacity of 50 watt hours of power which will power a laptop computer for about 2 hours.  Connect it to the Sunlinq 5 25 watt solar panel and you can continue to use your computer all day long.  The Tekkeon also has a variable voltage USB port to charge anything from a cell phone to an iPad.  The Tekkeon also prevents overcharging and stops the charge when the battery is full.

The kit also contains the Sunbooster Adapter cable which makes the most out of the charge coming from the Sunlinq 5 25 Solar Panel for the Tekkeon myPowerAll.  The Tekkeon is designed to be charged at 12 volts of power.  If that is not achieved then it charging shuts down.  Solar Panels provide variable voltages depending on sun conditions.  Under normal or full capacity the Sunlinq 5 25 watt panel will charge the Tekkeon 3450 just fine as it provides the necessary 12 volts of power.  The problem is there are clouds in the sky or your panel may get partial shade.  Without the Sunbooster cable adapter the charging would stop completely at less than ideal conditions.  The Sunbooster adapter allows the Tekkeon to take any charge the solar panel is providing even at less than ideal conditions.

Everything is included to safely solar charge your laptop except the laptop.  This kit is like having your own light weight solar generator.

Tekkeon myPower All plus MP3450 FAQs

1. Will myPower ALL work with my device?
myPower ALL works with hundreds of personal electronic devices. For a list of compatible devices, go to: www.tekkeon.com/myPoweralladapters

2. If my device is not listed on the compatibility list, will it work with myPower ALL?
myPower ALL works with most devices that require 19V (MP3450/MP3450i/MP3750) or less. The compatibility obstacle for myPower ALL is the physical connection to the power jack. Device manufacturers all use varying types of jacks, so an adapter must be used to connect the myPower ALL cable to the device.

The adapters that fit a majority of the jack types are included with myPower ALL. However, if you cannot find your specific model in the compatibility list, but see similar models, it is likely that myPower ALL will work with your device. You can assume that the model has not been included in the compatibility list, as we have not yet identified the adapter type on that specific device.

TTekkeon makes every effort to identify the adapter plug requirements of new devices. However, due to the large number of devices available, we are not able to identify the adapter requirements for every device.

3. Will myPower ALL work with my laptop?
MP3750 will power and/or charge virtually all laptops that require between 9.5 and 20V, and via a USB port for most 5V portable devices.

MP3450/MP3450i will power and/or charge virtually all laptops and most other portable devices that require 19V or less. MP3450 should be used to charge larger notebooks that require up to 20V/3.5A.

myPower ALL comes with adapters for most major brands of laptop computers. Apple laptops and some Dell laptops require adapters that are not included with myPower ALL, but are available at the Tekkeon Store. Please note that myPower ALL will not work with Apple laptops with 17??Ñ screens, or MacBook laptops with the proprietary MagSafe power adapters. For a list of compatible devices, go to www.tekkeon.com/myPoweralladapters..

Note: You can optimize the use of myPower ALL MP3750/MP3450/MP3450i with your notebook computer by setting the voltage on myPower ALL to less than the required voltage. This prevents myPower ALL from charging the device, thus extending the amount of time you can use myPower ALL to power your notebook.

4. Will myPower ALL work with other devices, like my blow dryer?
myPower ALL works with devices that require 20V DC or less. As larger electronic devices require much more power, myPower ALL can be used only with personal electronic devices with a DC input.

Adapters

5. How do I know which adapter to use with my device?
The size of each adapter plug varies to match the device. To determine which adapter to use, connect each of the included adapters to your device. The correct adapter will fit securely.

6. Will the same adapter work for all my devices?
The type of adapter required depends on the device. Several of the most common adapters are included with myPower ALL. If your other devices require different adapters, you simply remove one adapter and replace it with the second adapter. Most adapters not included with myPower ALL can be purchased through the Tekkeon Store.

7. Can I obtain adapters that are not included with the myPower ALL?
Yes. For a nominal fee, you can purchase additional adapters from the Tekkeon Store.

8. Can I obtain a replacement adapter if I lose one?
Yes. For a nominal fee, you can purchase replacement adapters from the Tekkeon Store.

Charging myPower ALL

9. Do I have to charge myPower ALL before I use it?
Yes. Like any new device battery, myPower ALL must be charged before it is used.

10. Does myPower ALL come with a power adapter?
myPower ALL MP3450 and MP3450i come with an AC/DC power adapter. MP3750 is charged using your laptop power adapter and the appropriate input adapter tip, some of which are included in the package.

11. How long does it take to charge myPower ALL?
myPower ALL charges in 4 hours.

12. How long can I use myPower ALL with my device before recharging it?
The length of time myPower ALL can be used to power and/or charge your device depends on the device it is charging. Following is the approximate time that myPower ALL will power each device:

Using myPower ALL

13. How does myPower ALL work?
myPower ALL is a rechargeable lithium polymer battery. Before use, myPower ALL must be charged using the included power adapter (MP3450/MP3450i) or your notebook power adapter (MP3750). Once charged, myPower ALL is connected to a personal electronic device through its power jack. While myPower ALL is connected, it powers and charges the device battery, so the device can be used while its battery is being charged. myPower ALL discharges power as it powers and charges a device, so it eventually must be recharged.

14. What do I need to use myPower ALL?
You need your device that is to be charged, myPower ALL, the appropriate power adapter, and power output cord.
