Recharging From a Solar Panel
Small, unregulated 12 volt solar panels rated to produce a
maximum of 2.5 amps (or 30 watts) can be used to charge
Jazz PP 300 C through the Charger Input Socket.
You will need to purchase a standard 5.5 mm OD x 2.5 mm
ID DC Coaxial (barrel type) connector to mate with the
Charger Input Socket.
To recharge with a solar panel:
1. Connect the solar panel’s red positive (+) wire to the
coaxial plug’s inner contact.
2. Connect the solar panel’s black negative (–) wire to the
plug’s outer contact.
Once the connector is inserted into the Charger Input
Socket and the solar panel is placed in the sun, Jazz PP
300 C charges automatically just as with the AC Charger.
See “Recharging with the AC Charger” on page 27.
It takes about ten hours in direct sunlight to recharge Jazz
PP 300 C from a 3 amp solar panel.

Battery Life
The high quality battery used in the Jazz PP 300 C will serve
as a reliable power source for years when properly
maintained.
To maximize battery life, it is important to recharge the Jazz
PP 300 C battery after each use.
Important: Recharge the Jazz PP 300 C fully at least
every three months if it is placed in storage or in a
vehicle trunk. Store in a location that maintains a
temperature range of 32 °F to 86 °F (0 °C to 30 °C).
