The series and parallel connection methods of solar panel to ensure that you are connecting the solar panels correctly for charging. If the product is damaged due to incorrect connection not in accordance with the instructions, Growatt will not be responsible for the free maintenance of the machine within the warranty period.
The solar charging ports for the INFINITY 1300 are located on the left side of the product.
The INFINITY 1300 DC input range is 12V-100V.You must ensure that the input voltage is within the specified range.
When the input voltage exceeds 100V, the excessive voltage may cause damage to the product and the INFINITY 1300 will trigger over voltage protection.

  • This product supports AC and solar panel charging at the same time. The solar charging method is preferred, and the AC charging method is used to supplement when the PV input power is insufficient.

a) Connect with Growatt Solar Panels
You can charge the INFINITY 1300 by connecting up to two 24V solar panels in series or using one 12V solar panels(two sets in parallel with each set of four panels in series). Connect the MC4 connector on the solar panel to the MC4-XT60 adapter cable, and supply power to the INFINITY 1300 through the XT60 port on the side of the INFINITY 1300. When you need to connect two solar panels, it is recommended to connect the two solar panels in parallel, and then use the MC4-XT60 adapter cable to connect to the INFINITY 1300 for charging.

Instructions for Advanced Features

1) UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply)
The INFINITY 1300 supports UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) function. In UPS mode, the AC power comes from the grid, not the battery. When the power grid is cut off, INFINITY 1300 will automatically switch to battery power supply mode within 20ms, providing high stability power supply for your load.
a) UPS Use Guide
When using wall charging as the input method, turning on the AC output and plugging in devices on AC ports will automatically activate the UPS mode. Please connect the device according to the figure below to enable the UPS function. GROWATT Infinity 1300 Portable Power Station Solar Generator -
parts8b)Precautions before Using the UPS Feature
This function is anon-professional UPS function and does not support 0ms switching. Please do not connect ittto equipment that is highly sensitive to uninterrupted power supply, or perform multiple tests before use.

  • UPS only supports the use of electrical appliances below 1800W, and do not use other devices at the same time during use to avoid overload protection.
  • UPS function is only supported when one INFINITY 1300 is running independently, and it is not available when multiple INFINITY 1300 work in series
  • Growatt is not responsible for equipment failure or loss of dataif the instructions are not followed.

II)Multi-unit Expansion in Series
You can use AC adapters to connect up to three INFINITY 1300 in series to get a larger battery capacity. When you use this expansion method, you will need to define one of the units as the master and the rest as slaves. You need to connect the AC output port of the Master Unit to the AC input port of Slave 1, then connect the ACoutput port of Slave 1 to the AC input port of Slave 2, then plug the load device into the AC output port of Slave 2(as shown in the figure below), and finally turn on the AC output power of all INFINITY 1300 to enable battery expansion.
When using this expansion method, make sure that each units are fully charged, otherwise an overload protection will be triggered. After use, itis recommended to charge each unit separately to avoid excessive burden on the home grid. GROWATT Infinity 1300 Portable Power Station Solar Generator -

FAQ

Can I take INFINITY 1300 on a plane?

No, you can't. This product is a lithium battery product. According to international air transport regulations, lithium battery products exceeding 100Wh cannot be carried on the plane.

Why does the INFINITY 1300 not work properly when the total output power of the device is within the rated power of the INFINITY 1300?

First, please check whether the charge of the product is too low and charge it sufficiently prior to use. Secondly, check if the surge power usage of the equipment exceeds the instantaneous peak power of the INFINITY 1300 tf so, you should use Growatt higher power products.

Why does the INFINITY 1300 make noise when in use?

The product contains air cooling system, and the built-in fan helps the product to dissipate heat. A slight noise when the product is in use is normal.

WIL INFINITY 1300 automatically shut down?

INFINITY 1300 supports power saving function. By default, the LCD display will turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity, and will automatically shut down after another 1 hour of inactivity. You can change the automatic screen-off and automatic shutdown time via MyGro APP.

How to clean INFINITY 1300?

If the INFINITY 1300 needs to be cleaned, please wipe it with a dry, non- abrasive cloth or use a special cleaner for LCD screens to achieve better cleaning results. Do not let water enter the inside of the product, which may cause damage to the circuit or parts!
