    Ternary lithium battery refers to the lithium battery using nickel-cobalt- manganate(NCM) and graphite as the cathode material. Different from lithium iron phosphate, ternary lithium batteries (NCM Batteries) have a high voltage platform, which means that the specific energy and power of ternary lithium batteries are more significant for the same volume or weight. In addition, ternary lithium batteries have substantial advantages in effective charging rate and low-temperature resistance.

  • Running T ime of this Unit
    The continuous running time of this unit at a 100% load is approximately 1 hour, whilst at a 50% load the running time is approximately 2 hours. This is dependent on the State of Charge (SOC) and the State of Health (SOH) of the batteries. Please note that this in only a guideline.

Battery Characteristic Curve

Stage Of Lithium Battery Charging Curve (Guide Line}:
The first stage of constant current and voltage charging is to charge with a constant current; When the voltage reaches the predetermined value, it enters the second stage for constant voltage charging, and the current gradually decreases; When the charging current reaches zero, the battery is fully charged.

Stage Of Discharge Curve For Lithium Batteries (Guide Line):

1. In the initial stage, the terminal voltage of lithium batteries rapidly decreases, and the larger the discharge rate, the faster the voltage drops;
2. The lithium voltage of the battery enters a stage of slow change, which is called the plateau area of the battery. The lower the discharge rate, the longer the duration of the plateau area. The higher the plateau voltage, the slower the voltage drop. In the actual use of lithium-ion batteries, it is best to expect the batteries to work in the platform area as much as possible;
3. When the lithium battery is nearly discharged, the battery load voltage starts to drop sharply until it reaches the discharge cutoff voltage. From the results of capacity testing, the curve relationship between discharge current and capacity can also be obtained. It can be seen that the discharge current of a lithium battery directly affects the actual capacity of the battery. The larger the discharge current, the smaller the battery capacity, indicating that the larger the discharge current, the shorter the time it takes to reach the termination voltage.

Trouble Shooting:

1. Why is the LCD screen not lit up whilst the unit is charging?
   • Analysis: The LCD display turns off when the unit goes into standby mode.
   • Solution: The display will light up if you push the Power Button, AC Button or DC Button.
2. Why does the AC Power Supply heat up whilst charging?
   • Analysis: When using the AC Power Supply ensure that it is not exposed to excessive heat or direct sun light. The operating temperature of this charger should be <70° C.
   • Solution: Charge at 0-40°C or replace with a new charger with the same specification.
3. Why does the appliance not work when plugged into the AC port?
   • Analysis: This unit can support up to 800 Watts of continuous power. Check if the appliances connected exceed the rated output power. If so, the overload protection will be triggered.
   • Solution: Remove all appliances connected to the unit. Switch the unit off and then on again. Check that the appliances you reconnect to the unit do not exceed 800 Watts.
4. Why does the power switch off when using this unit in extremely high temperatures?
   • Analysis: this unit is designed with over-heating protection and will automatically switch off if exposed to excessive/extremely high temperatures.
   • Solution: Immediately switch off the unit. Once it has cooled down, turn it back on. The recommended operating temperature is <40° C.

Tips for Use:

• Ensure that all “On/Off” buttons are in the “Off” position when not using this unit for long periods of time.
• To maintain the batteries, ensure that you charge them at least once every 3 months.
• When using this unit, never cover the fan. The fan is designed to keep this unit at the correct operating temperature.
• This unit is designed with an advanced 8 stage BMS (Battery Management System) which integrates overload, overheating, short circuit, overvoltage, under voltage and other safety protection technologies. When troubleshooting, turn the power switch “Off” and then back “On” it to reset the power supply.
• The LED Bar Light on the back of the unit has three brightness modes, 25%/50%/100%. It also has a SOS and Flashing mode.
