How to power STELLINA using an AC adapter?
STELLINA has been designed to facilitate transport from the house to the most remote places, so we recommend using a powerbank (portable battery) and to store in the compartment provided for its effect.
However, it is possible to charge STELLINA with a wall adapter. To do so, equip yourself with:
- an AC adapter with a USB-A port, delivering at least 5.1V and 2.4A.
- a cable with USB-A male and USB-C male ends, long enough depending on the location of STELLINA desired (backyard, balcony…). Beware of very long cables which can prevent Stellina to get constant & stable power.
Plug the USB-C end to the port located in the compartment, and the USB-A end to your AC adapter. A hole at the bottom of the hatch has been designed to let you pass your cable and close the hatch.
Check the specs and quality (robustness) of your power source, it could limit the performance of STELLINA!
