4 WAYS TO RECHARGE WHAT IT POWERS

“USB-C PD charger and solar panel sold separately.
Actual solar charging time varies, depending on conditions.
Combined Inputs Charging: Use the AC adapter and USB-C inputs at the same time to reduce charging time.

CHARGING YOUR UNIT

Charge through AC adapter
Connect your T600 unit to the wall outlet with the AC adapter that comes with your portable power station packaging.
The LCD display will indicate when the power station is being recharged.

Charge through your car
Connect your T600 unit to your 12V car cigarette lighter socket with the car charger that comes with your portable power station packaging. The LCD display will indicate when the power station is being recharged.

Charge through solar panel (sold separately)
Place your solar panel where it can get the strongest direct sunlight. Connect the solar panel’s output port with the T600’s input port. The LCD display will indicate when the power station is being recharged.
“Compatible with solar panels with output voltage of 11.1V-23.4V.

MPPT technology:
With MPPT (maximum power point tracking) technology, T600 tracks the max wattage provided by solar power and becomes more efficient at converting energy into power to recharge the power station.

Charge through USB-C charger (sold separately)
Connect your T600 unit to another USB-C PD charger with a USB-C cable with power delivery (both the USB-C cable and adapter are sold separately), via the 100W USB-C port on the T600 unit. The LCD display will indicate when the power station is being recharged.
*Protip: Combine the USB-C charging with the AC input to speed up the charging process.

2. Press and hold the light button to output lights in a SOS distress pattern and to signal danger to others. Press the button again to turn it off.

LCD icons:
AC! = Abnormal Output Warning
This icon indicates the power draw for the output ports is more than the power station can supply. Please unplug an application to balance the load again.

DCI! Abnormal DC Output Warning
This icon indicates the power draw for the DC output ports is more than the power station can supply, or short-circuited. Please unplug an DC application to balance the load again.
Char.Batt.
Battery Low Voltage Warning
Please recharge the power station.

Temperature Warning
This icon indicates that the power station is overheating. Please take actions to cool the unit off. Such as unplugging and stopping all devices drawing power, or moving the power station to a cooler shady location.

LCD Display Button
This button turns the LCD display screen off and on.

Auto turn-off function

To save energy and to prolong the battery life, the T600 has equipped with an auto turn-off function that is activated by default; that if the load of the AC application(s) has been low enough for 10 hours; the T600 will auto-turn itself off.

Manually overriding the auto turn-off function:
The auto turn-off function can be manually disabled.
To allow low applications that draw 3W or less to run, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold BOTH DC power button and AC power button for 3 seconds.
2. T600 will make 2 short beeps to indicate that auto turn-off has been disabled. Then let go of your fingers.
3. You can now use the T600 to power low wattage AC applications without interruptions.

Reactivate auto turn-off after manual override:

Auto turn-off function can be reactivated after a manual over ride. To reactivate auto turn-off:

1. Press and hold BOTH DC power button and AC power button for 3 seconds.
2. T600 will make 1 long beep to indicate that auto turn-off has been reactivated. Then let go of your fingers.
3. This power-saving auto turn-off function is now active again.

NOTE:
The auto turn-off function is automatically enabled when the T600 is turned off and on again. Regardless of the previous settings, this feature will be enabled when the device is powered off and on again.

STORAGE & MAINTENANCE

Do not store your T600 at low power level.
Charge it immediately after your adventures to prevent damage to the battery.
Always fully-charge your T600 unit before putting it to storage. Store it in a cool, dry place.
To prolong battery life and ensure your unit is always ready to use, check the battery level frequently and fully recharge it every 3 to 6 months.

FAQS & TROUBLESHOOTING

Q: Can I use output ports when T600 is charging?

A: Yes you can.

Q: How long will this power station run my device?

A: Runtime hours depend on typical power consumption (how many watt) your application requires. Find the typical power consumption of your device from its manufacturer, and then divide 600 times by the typical wattage consumption. For example: a CPAP machine has a typical power consumption of 53W. 600 / 53 = 11.3 hours. A fully charged T600 can run this CPAP machine for about 11.3 hours per charge. Note: Different kinds of application will have different conversion rate, actual runtime can vary by 15%.

Q: What kind of solar panel is compatible?

A: Any solar panel with 11V ~ 23.4V DC output will provide enough charging voltage to charge your T600 unit via solar. But for significant charging speed, we recommend solar panels of at least 100W.

Q: Why does T600 keep turning itself off from time to time when powering my small applications?

A: Most likely caused by the wattage of your application is too low and triggered the auto turn-off feature. To keep your low-wattage application running without interrupting. Please manually turn off the auto turn-off feature (see page 8).

Q: Why can’t I use it power my coffee maker?

A: Typical coffee maker has power of 800+watts. Which is higher than the 500watt AC output limitation of T600. Same idea for other applications such as air dryer, heater, cooker, or anything excess 500Watts.

Q: It will not stay on even it still has N% left.

A: (1) Using the unit in high-temperature locations may make the unit running hot, and has its over-temperature protection triggered even when it still has power in it. Do not use this unit under direct sun when the weather is hot, keep it in the shade and keep it well ventilated will help with lowering the temperature. (2) Also, the % display may not be totally accurate if it has been stored for a while without usage; to recalibrate the %, simply recharge the unit back to 100%.

Q: Is the battery replaceable?

A: The internal battery is not replaceable, but if it’s maintained well, it can be recharged for up to 2000 times. Which provides a very long life span.

Q: Can I keep the unit plugged to AC power?

A: It’s not recommended, as it will slightly reduce the life span of the unit over time, however, if you find it difficult to charge the unit when its power level is low. Or you plan to put it in storage for over a year without charging. Keeping it plugged into the AC power while storing is doable to prevent over discharge.

Q: Can I take the T600 on an airplane?

A: Due to current transportation regulations, you cannot. Please call the respective of airline to check before you took it to airport. Inform them it’s a lithium-ion battery of 600 watt-hours, and ask for confirmation on compliance.

Q: “AC!” or “Temperature” icon shows up on the screen, and it’s not working.

A: This can mean one or more of the following issue: Overload protection: remove the overloaded application that plugged onto T600, press the power button to reset the unit. Short circuit: same as overloading, remove application and press the power button to reset. Overheat protection: let the unit cool down a few minutes, then press the power button and see if gets back to normal condition. If not, give it another few minutes.

Q: The USB-C PD port is not inputting/outputting 100W as advertised.

A: (1) Make sure your device/charger supports 100W USB-C PD charging speed. (2) Make sure your USB C-to-C cable is designed for 100W high-speed charging.

Q: I tried everything but it’s still not working or not meeting my needs.

A: Please contact our customer service team for further assistance.
