Is there a “break-in period” for a new Solar Stik™?
The mechanical parts of the Solar Stik™ may at first be a little difficult to operate or get used to. For instance, the rubber solar panel latches may be a little difficult to stretch when locking the panels into the “down” position, but they become easier to operate as you use them. Normal “break-in” periods range from 1-3 months of regular use.
