separately. Please contact your local authority for how to dispose of a lithium

the black plastic end caps on the hub unit (the part with the LCD Panel).
Remove the end cap and then slide the internal compartment out of the
aluminium sleeve.
Once removed the battery is the large Blue component, simply cut the
connecting wires (using side cutters or strong scissors) and remove the battery.
The battery is supported by an adhesive pad and might require a strong pull
to remove it.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. My Freeloader Classic has been outside, in the sun but when I connected it to
my device, it only charged for a short time and did not deliver much power?
• Please ensure the first charge is given by the USB cable connected to a PC or lap
top.
• Please make sure you have removed the protective film from the solar cells as this
will radically reduce the effectiveness of the cells.
• Please ensure Freeloader Classic is given exposure to sunny conditions for
between 5 to 10 hours.
• Ensure the Freeloader Classic is outside, facing south, in an un-shaded position
and ideally tilted at a 45 degree angle.
• If Freeloader Classic is connected to a device that has a near full battery (if for
example you were testing Freeloader Classic from new), Freeloader Classic
would, potentially, not deliver power because if the battery in the device has more
or equal power than the Freeloader Classic, Freeloader Classic will not be able to
deliver power. Wait until the device to be charged is 50% to 60% full (see note 3)
