Dear Customer!
With your new Pedelec Charger mVELO you will experience a new
dimension of independence.
Charge comfortably and safely the Li-Ion battery of your e-Bike or LEV
(Light Electric Vehicle, e.g. even pedelec, e-scooter, e-wheelchair,...)
from the sun, car battery or main and stay mobile!
Let the sun work for you. You can extend the range with our light-
weight and foldable solar panels on your long trips or you can save
the solar power during a day on the permanently installed photovol-
taic system (carport, camper van, caravan) in a car- or solar-battery
and charge your pedelec in the night.
In one hour you can recharge max. 60 Wh, which corresponds to a
range of max. 10 km.
Follow with the unique energy meter the charging of your pedelec, so
you can easily check the consumption of the last tour and the battery
ageing.
Enjoy your new Pedelec Charger mVELO.
Your SUNLOAD Team

The device can be used for charging of Li-lon batteries with a tting
acceptable voltage. There is a re danger by using of other types of
batteries or voltage (for example NiMH)!
Do not expose to open re, water, rain, snow or wet environment. Risk of
explosion or short circuit! Protect the device from getting wet (e.g. in case
of rain) and direct sunlight!
When transporting your mVELO in a bag, keep out any beverages or other
liquids, to prevent the electronic components from being damaged.
The temperature of the device may rise up to 60°C approximately, when in
use. Keep away any materials which are not suitable for that temperature!
Do not keep the device or its accessories within the reach of children or
animals! Keep away from children any small parts which might be

Which solar panel fits to mVELO?
The mVELO was specially designed to work highly efficiently with different
solar panels. The connector must be SAE plug or DC plug round hollow type
5.5 x 2.1mm (These are standard for solar panels of SUNLOAD).
Be careful when using connector cables from other manufacturers! The plugs may have
the inverse polarity! Double check it with the polarity symbol at the mVELO label.
The acceptable DC input voltage of the mVELO is limited to 30 V.
Please note that the open circuit voltage of the solar module must be lower than 30 V;
otherwise mVELO will be damaged!
As regards the size of the module, please note that the maximum power
the device may process amounts to 60 W. Above an input power of 60 W
the charge current will be automatically limited. Depending on the weather
conditions, we recommend to use solar panels with a peak power from 25 W
to 100 Watt. Higher panel power will not accelerate the charging process!
Please note that even a minor shadow on the solar panel surface considerably
reduces its power. When using a 62 Wp solar panel perfectly oriented towards
the sun – in Berlin, you will generate 45-50 Wh per hour. This amount of
energy correspondences a range of 5-8 km under realistic conditions
(www.Extraenergy.org).
