How to Replace the ShockRite Solar Energiser’s Battery

The solar energiser battery will charge at every opportunity due to the large 10W solar panel, but like all batteries they will eventually reach the end of their life and need to be replaced.

The ShockRite solar energisers are designed to make this as easy as possible as shown below.

Solar Energiser Battery Life and Care

The ShockRite solar battery life can last multiple years but this is largely dependent on the battery care.

The battery needs to be charged when the battery voltage is critically low, and the low battery indicator shows RED (this normally only occurs in the depths of winter as the large 10W solar panel will power the energiser during the brighter months).

If the battery is not charged after the LED turns red, this is when the most damage will occur to the battery.

To prolong battery life simply charge the ShockRite solar energiser (using the mains charger provided) when the red light appears.

Note: Alternatively, if two batteries are being exchanged to power the solar energiser (instead of mains charger) then please remember to charge the drained battery on removal from the energiser.

Please refer to the SRS Solar Energiser User Manual for information on solar energiser storage when the energiser is not in use.

Please send us a message if there’s anything that you’re unsure about, and we will do our best to help you out.
