Please take the lantern to your supplier or Ammini Dealer near to you. They are trained for maintenance and repair work.

Under normal conditions the rechargeable batteries should last for several years. Afterwards you have to buy new ones from your supplier / dealer near to you.

No, the solar module must be positioned in the bright sun to produce electricity.

Yes, the module may be exposed to rain, but not the lantern. Protect the lantern against water ingress - it is designed for indoor use only.

There is no direct indication that the batteries are fully charged. The flashing of the green LED is an indication that the battery is nearing full. Normally the batteries will be fully charged after two days of charging.

When you connect the solar module to the lantern, the Green LED comes ON if the module is exposed to the bright sun. That is an indication that electricity is being produced and the lantern is getting charged. Once the battery is reaching full, the Green LED start flashing. No need to disconnect the lantern from the solar module, as the battery is protected from over charging using electronic circuits.

A torch is designed as spot light with batteries, and the batteries must be changed periodically. But a good solar lantern is designed as room light (giving light all around), to be charged with a solar module without changing the batteries periodically.

The Ammini solar lantern's are fitted with Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) which are rated for 8000 Hours of operation. Even if you use the solar lantern for 4 hours a day, still the lamp will last for more than 5 years. This is achieved by the superior electronic design of the circuit and lamp pre-heating arrangement. Under normal conditions you never will have to change it before 5 years.

Yes, you can charge the lantern with a suitably rated mains charger. Ask our local dealer for the right mains charger. Do not use other mains chargers that could damage the batteries inside the lantern.
