Hello.

i just bought a new Tapo C460 kit (with solar panel) and I'm trying to charge it to 100% before puting it outside with the panel, but it has been connected to my iPhone charger and its only reaching 98%.

hoy do I make it to a 100%? I want to be outside fully charger to mesure the battery will last at lo g as possible.

thanks for the help

The camera's operating hours can certainly be extended when it is used with a solar panel, as long as it is not in high-frequency operation.

 

As for this charging anomaly, if you want to find out what's happening, I recommend consulting our support team. Contact Technical Support

When using a 5V 2A charger, it takes approximately 5.5 hours to fully charge the camera. If the charger you used has a lower output, it will take longer. 

 

What's the output of the charger you used? And how long did you charge the camera?

  @Wayne-TP 

Thanks for your answer.

Im using a regular iPhone charger:

  • Frequency: 50-60 Hz, single-phase

  • Line Voltage: 100-240 V AC

  • Output Voltage/Current: 9 V DC/2.2 A Minimum

  • Output Power: 20 W

  • Output Port: USB-C

 

Link Apple Product

 

It had it connected for more than 6 hours. It reached 98% but not a 100%.

The camera has been running with the solar panel for 2 days and it has not decreased the battery charge... but I want it to be at a 100% to ensure it will last more.

 

Thanks for the help.
