Warm tip: It is easy to charge this product with solar panels.

Notes for PV charging

1. Solar panels are intended to collect solar power, not to store solar power. That is, solar panels collect solar energy and store it in this product, powering your powered devices anytime and anywhere. When the PV charging is under way, powered devices can be used at the same time, that is, supporting discharging while charging.

2. PV charging time varies. Most solar panel manufacturers calculate the PV charging time with the following formula: device Wh/solar panel watts= PV charging time.
   Theoretically, a 100-watt solar panel can charge a 200Wh charger in 2 hours (200/100= 2), and the said data be found in the solar panel instructions manual. In order to standardize the PV charging time from all manufacturers, these tests are done in a
   laboratory environment. However, only about 50-75% of rated solar panel power can be collected on a sunny day, which is how engineers calculate the PV charging time of this product.

3. Even on cloudy days, solar panels can also receive infrared, ultraviolet and visible light emitted by the sun. Therefore, this product can still be charged by the sun but with reduced efficiency.

4. Solar panels should not be screened by window glasses. When directly exposing solar panels to sunlight, they collect more power. Otherwise, window glasses will reduce collection efficiency. The optimal arrangement is to directly face solar panels
   toward the sun, thereby dramatically improving solar efficiency.

FAQ

Q. What type of battery is used in this product?
A. This product adopts the custom-designed lithium-ion battery. Here are some general facts about the lithium-ion battery:
1. Lithium-ion battery is able to store and release large quantity of energy in a short period of time. Equipped with a battery protection panel, it can control current to safely reach each output port through advanced battery management and protection systems
2.What calls for special attention is that the battery shall be away from moisture and water; otherwise, they can bypass the circuit protection into the battery.
Q. How do I check the current battery power of this product?
A. Battery icon on the LCD. When the display lights up, you will see an icon divided into 5 battery segments indicating the current battery power of this product. This product can also be used even if it is not fully charged.
Q. How do I know if it is compatible with my powered device?
A. First of all, you need to determine the rated power of your powered device, so you may need to check the device’s manual.
Second, you need to check the max. rated power of output ports in this product.
For example, 600W power supply is available for the port of this product under the control of inverter. If your powered device is above 600W, the inverter of this product will be turned off after a period of time. Although the inverter of this product has an advanced surge management system that maximizes their compatibility with various devices, but there are still some that perform surge management at a higher rate than the device for a longer period of time, in which case the product will automatically turn off the port output.
Q. Why do the USB and cigarette lighter ports exhibit insufficient power output or stop functioning when the device battery level is low?
A. When the device’s battery level drops below 30%, the total output power of the product is limited in order to extend the battery life. If the AC output remains at full power, the USB and cigarette lighter ports may be impacted by reducing output load or cessation of output.
To use them normally, you can reduce or turn off the AC output, or promptly charge the device.
The total output power of the product is restricted based on the battery level as follows:

When using the inverter, there are two layers of conversion {12V to high voltage, DC to AC). The least effective way to use the battery is to connect an AC-DC adapter on the AC port, just like using a phone charger to charge your phone at a power socket, because it adds another layer of inversion to the adapter. So, when powering your devices with this product, it is better to study their power consumption. For more quick tips and tricks, please access www.egretech.com.

Basic Battery Description

Precautions for battery
This product uses the latest battery technology, covering various needs in your daily life. We’ve compiled some useful tips to keep your battery operating at its best.

1. Regular use
   Regularly use the battery. Do not store and not use the battery for a long time. But if you plan to store it, make sure it is fully charged. Although this product will sound an alarm when the battery power is less than 3%, do not store the battery for a
   long time in the state of power loss, and in case that this product can not be charged, charge it once every 3 months during long-term storage, or you will go to the local after-sales service provider for maintenance service.

2. “Battery memory”
   For nickel-cadmium batteries, they have to be fully discharged before charged, and it is so-called “deep cycle”. However, typical batteries in most devices today, including the advanced lithium battery used in this product, such discharge is no
   longer required. Actually, you should avoid deep cycle of your battery, which has more harm than good in most cases.

3.  “Stadium effect”
   When your battery is charged, the stadium effect happens. You’ll notice that the battery charging process is fast at first, but slows down noticeably as you try to charge the last few percent. Just like how quickly a stadium is filled up when it first
   opens – there are hundreds of open seats, so it’s easy to get one. When there are only a few empty seats here and there, people have to move around to get one, and it takes longer to fill up those seats hence. Similarly, power easily flows in and occupies empty space at the beginning. As time goes by, less and less space is available, and it takes longer for power to fill left space.

4. Reading this instructions manual
   It will take some time to read the manual, but there are precautions for battery of this product. Following use methods stipulated in this manual will extend the service life of the battery.
