FAQ:
Q: Does the Spectre 200W store power?
A: No—this is a solar panel only. It’s designed to recharge power stations and solar generators (especially the Recon lineup) using sunlight.
Q: What’s the best way to use the Spectre 200W?
A: For the fastest recharge, pair it with a Recon Solar Generator and place the panel in direct sun. If you need more solar input, you can chain up to three Spectre 200W panels into a 600W array.
Q: What can I plug this into?
A: The Spectre 200W is built for maximum compatibility. It uses MC4 for chaining and includes output options (XT60, APP, DC8020, DC7909) to connect to a wide range of power stations.
