UPS mode

UPS function
GENKIPWR has the bypass mode, when charging, it directly supplies power from AC to DC load without passing through the battery, when grid is off it can switch to DC-DC auto matically and allow the battery to discharge power to load continuously within 10ms.

UPS Connections
As shown in the figure below, connect the product between the socket on the wall and the electrical appliances, and the power of the product is in the ON state. When you turn on the power of the electrical appliances, it will directly use the AC power of the power grid.
In this state, when the power grid is cut off, it will automatically switch to the product’s internal battery to supply power.

• In UPS mode in The United States and Japan, the maximum power output of AC is below 1100W, and the AC output exceeds 1100W. The AC output icon “ blinks indicating overload.
• In UPS mode of China, United Kingdom, Europe and South Korea, AC output of the maximum power below 1200W. AC output over 1200W, The AC output icon “ ” blinks indicating overload.

Solar panel connection

Our products can be connected to solar panels and can be charged through solar panels.

• Solar panel charging power refers to the weather and climate conditions locally.
• The PV voltage exceeding 50V will damage the GENKIPWR and it will break warranty condition.

What’s in the Box

Storage & Maintenance

1. Ideally, use and store the product between 20°C to 30°C(68° to 86), and always keep it away from water, intense heat, and sharp objects. Do not store in temperatures above 60°C(140°F) or below -10°C(14°F) for an extended period.
2. Storing a battery with a low charge for a long period shortens its lifespan. This product mitigates the damage by putting the battery into hibernation mode. To get the most out of the battery, make sure it is about 60% before putting this product into long-term storage, and then once every three months, discharge the battery to 30% and recharge it back to 60%.
