Cuddelink general Q&A recommendations

[RGrizzzz]

no usb in ours - any independent retailer can order the wall charger and extra battery , farmsteadoutdoors has them in stock and will ship - or you can just set them in the sun for a couple days without them hooked up to a camera, its possible the battery failed and replacing it may fix it.

Thanks. Can I test the battery with a multimeter? What should the voltage read? I believe this is a sun shade panel, so it has two batteries, right?

Yes. You really need an advanced charger that can measure charge and discharge to check capacity. The voltage will follow nicd voltages, 6 cell I believe.
It's also worth noting that the regular cudde solar panels have space for a second battery.

the shade panel pw-003 has 2 batteries the 3600 panel has one but will take a second. should be in the mid 8 volt range, 8.4-8.7
