SOLAR AUDIO CAP FAQ

Questions before you head outside.

Direct answers about solar charging, open-ear audio, fit and outdoor use.

How long does the LINKSOLAR Audio Cap battery last from a full charge?

These are separate full-charge results, not consecutive or cumulative use. Starting from a full charge, music playback exceeds 20 hours at 50% volume or exceeds 9 hours at 100% volume. Starting again from a full charge and using the cap for calls, talk time is approximately 50 hours. Actual results vary with conditions.

How long does solar charging take?

In strong, direct and unobstructed sunlight, the integrated 1.3W solar panel can fully charge the 500mAh battery in approximately 4 hours. Solar charging continues to supply power while suitable sunlight reaches the panel. Weather, shade, season, temperature and panel angle can change the actual time.

How long does Type-C charging take?

A full charge through the Type-C port takes approximately 1.5 hours. Type-C is the faster and more predictable option when strong sunlight is unavailable.

Does solar charging work on cloudy days, in shade or indoors?

The panel may still collect some energy in weaker light, but performance will be significantly lower than in direct sunlight. Indoor lighting, heavy cloud and shade are not dependable charging conditions. For the best solar-assisted charging, keep the panel uncovered and facing strong daylight.

Can the solar panel supply power during outdoor use?

Yes. In strong sunlight, the solar panel can continuously supply power to the battery. The actual balance between incoming solar energy and product power use depends on sunlight conditions, volume and active features.

How is the full-crown Audio Cap designed for outdoor comfort?

The cap combines a breathable perforated crown with a large adjustable rear buckle strap. Adjust the strap for a secure, comfortable fit before outdoor activity.

Is this bone-conduction audio?

No. The LINKSOLAR Audio Cap uses 22mm directional open-ear speakers positioned beside the ears. Sound travels through the air instead of through vibration against the bones, and nothing needs to be inserted into the ear canal.

How do the open-ear speakers work?

The speakers sit close to your ears and direct sound toward them while leaving the ear canals open. This provides a more open wearing experience than in-ear earbuds and allows environmental sounds to remain audible. It is not active noise cancellation.
