Does this have the capability of connecting to an external solar battery?

I am not really sure. I have 2 cameras and Iinstalled new batteries on July 1st and they are still taking pictures and videos. I would say you would not need the solar battery

Bruno, thanks for the question. This unit up is solar powered and it has its own vendor supplied rechargeable battery.

Not thru the solar port. But it comes with alligator clips and could probably connect to the red and black jumper terminals. Bryan

One connector goes to the solar panel, one to a battery and the other is for direct connector to another device. So unless you had a splitter from the dedicated battery lead, only one battery can be connected.

It will connect but you have to have another power source. Wish i had not ordered it.

no does not. the solar version works w/out batteries, but also does not come with D batteries.

That's a good question. I THINK it works by either charging the connected device from its battery, or by charging the battery. There's an on/off switch that powers the USB connection. So that's a way to differentiate this from a true solar charger. With this you can charge and store, with a solar charger you have to leave the device connected to the solar charger and in the sun to charge.I could be wrong about that. I may ahve to test that the next sunny day.

Sure, if your solar setup has a USB output and can provide the 5V that this device needs!

I do not believe this one can. I bought this one as a stand alone unit for an RV. The only ones I know of that can be connected are the ones that are 110 volt with a battery back up.

I do not believe that this is possible, though I could be wrong. I was under the impression that this requires a bit of skill, perhaps a designated solar breaker, etc. The battery required, would be a solar battery (deep cycle battery). You would wire this from the panels to a solar charge controller, battery and an inverter.

Yes! The 8 D-cells in the lantern keep the rechargeable batteries in the four individual light panels charged. There is no external power source connection to the lantern.

No, but the unit comes with clip on connectors that you can connect directly to the battery.

No. Just connect it directly to the battery. It works great for me. The battery is always filly charged.

HI, Might did not come with a solar charger. I am not sure if it can be hooked up to one or not.

No, but it comes with battery clamps to connect it directly to the battery.

Yes, there is a power cord to allow connection to the solar panel. I have not measured but it is more than 10 foot in length.

Yes. This is the first NewTrent external battery that has this charge through feature so that it serves as a dual charging port while it is being charged by plugging into an AC outlet.
