OVERVIEW

GETTING STARTED

1. Step 1 : The non-slip surface of silicone pads pre-installed
2. Step 2 : Lower your battery into the battery box base carefully, locating it as centrally as possible on the non-slip pads
3. Step 3: Secure the battery in place by tightening the velcro strap over the battery.
4. Step 4: Install the battery cables onto the terminal posts of the battery. Ensure the red cable is connected to the positive (+) terminal, the black cable connected to the negative (-) terminal. Tighten firmly but be sure not to over-tighten the battery terminals.
5. Step 5 : Tuck cables in under the battery box lid, lowering the lid carefully onto the box – ensuring the lid is correctly oriented
6. Step 6: Install the 4 provided screws to fasten the lid to the base, being sure not to over tighten with the supplied allen key.
7. Step 7 ATTENTION FOR DCDC CHARGER MODELS: Check your battery type. For example: select LifePO4 as the battery type on the DCDC charger by holding the MODE button for 2 seconds until the battery type light starts flashing. When this occurs, your selection is saved.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

MOUNTING TRAY (OPTIONAL)

• Step 1:
  • Confirm install location of tray, drilling any required holes.
  • Install the strap under the tray, sliding the strap into the slots either side.
  • Ensure strap is oriented correctly so that the hooks face toward the Power Station when installed.
  • Securely affix the tray in position using bolts or screws, whichever is applicable.
  • Ensure that washers are used when installing the tray, to avoid damage.
  • Note: We do not provide the screws or bolts for this installation.
• Step 2 : Ensure straps are laying outside the tray before lowering the battery box carefully onto the tray. Attach each strap hook to the corresponding slot in the Power Station.
• Step 3 : For ease of tightening, place thumbs in each strap loop, pushing firmly downwards. The strap should tighten and hold the Power Station firmly in place. To release, depress the buckle and pull the strap to loosen.

Inverter Cables (Optional)

iTECHWOrLD Inverter leads have been designed to allow you to easily connect a high powered inverter to the battery box. When it comes to Inverter cables, there is no substitute for quality and these TeCHWOrLD Inverter Cables have been designed to work flawlessly and to provide a high currentflow to your inverter this output is rated for 175A max output, please do not exceed it.

SWITCHES

The Master Switch
The master switch disconnects everything (except DCDC Charger). Turning it off is a quick way to disconnect all devices to ensure your battery is not being drained.

Note : The DCDC Charger + Solar Regulator still can charge the internal battery while the Master Switch is in the OFF position.

Benefits of Quick Charge C

When paired with compatible devices, a Quick Charge-enabled charger delivers more power, allowing the connected device to charge faster. As one of the most widely used of the fast charging technologies, Quick Charge is already in many of your favorite smartphones. If your smartphone is Quick Charge 3.0- compatible, you can charge up to 80% in just 35 minutes. To future-proof your chargers, each new Quick Charge generation is backward compatible, meaning it will work with the generations that came before.
