exist. At night, it can power a variety of light sources from DC spotlights to AC floodlights. At the 

campground it can power an RV Microwave oven, water pumps and entertainment equipment. The 

Solar e Power Case is expandable: As your needs change, external batteries can be added to the 

system to increase run time. This flexibility preserves your investment in the Solar e Power Case.

Warnings—General

Shock or fire hazard

—The Solar e Power Case generates the same potentially lethal AC power as a 

normal household wall outlet. Treat it with the same respect that you would any AC outlet. 

Explosion Hazard

—Do not use this product around flammable fumes or gasses, such as in the 

bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or near a propane tank. Do not use Solar e Power Case in an 

enclosure containing automotive-type lead-acid batteries. These batteries, unlike the sealed battery 

pack in the Solar e Power Case, vent explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks from 

electrical connections or disconnections.
When working on electrical equipment, always make sure that someone is nearby to help you in an 

emergency
