Recycling and Environmental Protection
We try to avoid using plastic packaging and film and only use them when they
are absolutely necessary to protect the product. So how are we different?
- We use ink made from soybeans as opposed to classic petroleum-based ink.
- The majority of our packaging is made from 100% recyclable paper.
- We limit the use of adhesives. If absolutely necessary, we make sure to choose only water-soluble ones.
We think globally, which means that we actively search for eco-friendly solutions. We keep an eye on trending technology and place findings of the scientific community into practice. We don’t just try to meet quotas and mandates, we aim to exceed them.

INSTRUCTIONS
Only charge the station with the supplied charging adapter. Charge the station fully before use. Input connectors intended for charging are:
- AC input connector for charging from an AC outlet; super fast charging (max. power 1,000 W);
- XT60 input connector for charging from the solar panel (solar panel not included); or
- input connector DC5521 for charging e.g. from a car battery.
Note:
If you will not be using the station for a long time, we still recommend
charging it regularly, at least every 3 months. This will extend the life of
the built-in battery.
Serial / parallel charging via solar panel
The portable station supports charging via a solar panel with a maximum output
of 300 W. The solar panel is not included in the package and must be purchased
separately, including a connecting cable, which will be equipped with a
terminal suitable for connection to the station. This is the only way to
achieve fast and efficient charging.
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
The maximum voltage of the solar panels that the portable station supports is
30 V and the maximum current is 10 A.
Attention:
The portable station must be charged via solar panels with a voltage of less
than 30 V. An input voltage exceeding 30 V can seriously damage the station.
Station use – alternating current
The portable station allows to supply up to 4 appliances with alternating
current at the same time, provided that the total power output does not exceed
1,800 W.
