PROVIDING POWER FOR DC 12V APPLIANCES

The 5.5mm 12V DC output is plug and play. Plug your appliances to the DC output port to power them. DC output rated current: 10A, Max output current <15A.

Notice: Please confirm whether your DC 12V appliance supports charging with a 5.5mm DC plug (The diameter of the DC port of the product is 5.5 mm), otherwise it is unable to connect with the DC output.
You can consult the electrical manufacturer or purchase a corresponding adapter.

PROVIDING POWER FOR DC 12V APPLIANCES

Note: The 12V DC output voltage ranges between 9V-12.6V, with a maximum output current of <15A. DC output voltage will drop at low battery. Your appliance may shutdown when input voltage is too low. Please unplug your appliance from the power station and begin recharging.

PROVIDING POWER FOR AC APPLIANCES

Connect the power cable plug of the electrical appliance to the AC outlet of the power station and press the power button.
PROVIDING POWER FOR AC APPLIANCES

Some devices, such as a refrigerator, ice maker, TV or a microwave may require a surge of power to start up, this surge power could exceed 150W or higher, which could cause the power station to overload and shut off. Please refrain from using high-wattage appliances that could exceed the maximum output.

CANNOT SUPPORT DEVICES MORE THAN 150W

COLD WEATHER USE

Cold temperatures (below freezing) can affect the unit’s battery capacity due to chemical characteristics of the battery. If you’ll be living off-grid in sub-zero conditions, we recommend you keep your unit in an insulated cooler, and connected to a power source (solar panels). The natural heat generated by the unit contained in an insulated cooler will keep battery capacity at its highest.

RECYCLE

Always return your used electronic products, batteries, and packaging materials to dedicated collection points. This way you help prevent uncontrolled waste disposal and promote the recycling of materials.
