WALL CHARGING

The CAPTAIN 1200 uses fast charging technology with a maximum input power of 800W; it can be charged up to 80% in 1.5 hours and fully charged in 2 hours. In addition, you can select fast charging 800W, slow charging 200W(silent charging), or custom charging through the App. Default input power is 800W .

SOLAR PANEL CHARGING

Users can choose VIGORPOOL 400W solar panel, 200W solar panel or 100W solar panel to charge the CAPTAIN 1200. The DC input voltage range is 12V-56V, the maximum current is 12A, and the maximum charging power is 400W. In full sunlight, the CAPTAIN 1200 can be charged with two 200W solar panels, which will take about 5.5 hours to complete a full charge.

CAR CHARGING

The CAPTAIN 1200 can be charged with a car. It supports 12V car charging and takes about 14 hours to fully charge. Charge using the car charger after you’ve started the car to avoid failure to start due to insufficient car battery. In addition, please make sure that the Car Charging Input Port and the Car Charging Cable are in good condition. VIGORPOOL takes no responsibility for any losses or damages caused by failure to follow instructions.

ELECTRIC GENERATOR CHARGING：

The CAPTAIN 1200 can be charged in about 2 hours using a traditional generator .

Connect Two Captain 1200

Connect the parallel port of the CAPTAIN 1200 through the parallel cable and turn the AC button on until the parallel graph on the LCD is lit, indicating a successful parallel connection. AC output power provides up to 2400W continuous output, using a capacity of up to 2560Wh. Users can use the AC port on either product. Please avoid using load devices that exceed the rated power of 2400W.
Please note: The parallel cable needs to be purchased additionally.

Use of APP

You can view energy forecasting, state monitoring and estimation, and anomaly detection via the VIGORPOOL App. For more details, please download it on the App Store or Google Play and check our official website to get the connect steps:

Notes on Boost

Traditional power stations will shut down if the continuous output power is exceeded. In contrast, the CAPTAIN 1200 AC inverter boost function can support most resistive load devices up to 1800W without causing the device to be disabled due to overload protection. This product supports equipment with a maximum power of 1800W, but at this time the rated output power is still 1200W.
When using the Boost feature, please keep the following in mind:

1. Pay special attention to the charging state.
2. When using an appliance that requires between 1200W-1800W, only use that one appliance. Trying to run multiple AC devices while using the boost feature could result in voltage fluctuations that could damage appliances over time.
3. If the 1200W-1800W appliance you are attempting to power with the CAPTAIN 1200 exceeds the unit’s surge voltage limit of 2400W when starting the appliance, you may not be able to power that appliance.

Uninterruptible Power Supply（UPS）

This power generator supports UPS function. You can use the AC charging cable to connect the grid and the AC input port of this power generator, the appliance can be connected to the AC output port of this power generator to work (at this time the AC power comes from the grid, not this power generator), when the power is off, this power generator can automatically switch to battery power mode within 10ms.
Note : This function does not support 0ms switching. Therefore, it is not recommended to be used a s a UPS for highly sensitive equipment, such as data servers and workstations without confirming compatibility or proper testing before use. It is also recommend-ed to only use the UPS function for one device at a time to avoid overload protection. VIGORPOOL assumes no responsibility and is therefore not liable for data loss or damage caused by the use of this product in setups that it was not intended for and the disregard of this recommendation

Frequently Asked Questions

• What devices can VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 power?
  A: VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 can power essential devices less than 1200W (or one device up to 1800W using the inverter boost feature). The total wattage of devices being powered should be under 1200W unless using the inverter boost feature. Please refer to your device specification before purchase.

• What is the VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 power station lifespan?
  A: The VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 uses lithium iron phosphate battery technology. After 3500 cycles of use, the VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 power station’s capacity will drop to 80%. Lifespan also depends on how the power station is used, maintained, etc.

• Is the VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 waterproof?
  A: The VIGORPOOL Captain 1200 is not waterproof, please stay away from water sources.
