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.

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.

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

PROVIDING POWER FOR USB APPLIANCES

Connect the USB cable of the appliance to the USB power output on the power station, press the power button “ ” to turn on the USB outputs.

Notice: Some smart devices, such as Bluetooth headphones and LED lights require very small input current to charge, which could be less than 150mA. The generator may fail to charge these kind of smart devices due to power limitation by the USB output ports. On this occasion, press the AC button “ ” to keep the USB port output running. Please turn off AC output when the smart devices are fully charged to save power.

QUICK CHARGE OUTPUT

This product features Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 output through 5V-9V/2A USB and USB-C ports for smart devices. The actual output voltage and current depends on the device. Obtain this information by consulting the manufacturer.

USING THE LED FLASHLIGHT

This generator features a built-in ultra bright LED flashlight.
Press the button to switch on the flashlight. Press the button again to switch off.

This generator also features a built-in LED light panel. Press the button to switch on the light panel and press the button again to adjust brightness. Press the button again to switch off.

RECHARGING THE POWER STATION

RECHARGING WITH AC WALL CHARGER

Using the included AC Wall Charger, plug DC end of the charger in the power station. The input is located under the flashlight. Plug the AC end into any household wall outlet. You will know the generator is charging when the blue LED battery indicators are blinking. The generator is fully charged when all battery indicators stop blinking and remain solid. After the generator is fully charged, unplug the charger from the power station.

RECHARGING WITH 12V CAR CHARGER

Using the included car charger, plug the generator into a 12V cigarette lighter (car port) in your vehicle. You will know the generator is charging when the blue LED Battery Indicator lights blink. The generator is fully charged when all battery indicators stop blinking and remain solid. The vehicle must be running in order to charge the power station.

Note: Since the output voltage from 12V car port will vary, charging speed and time will depend on your specific vehicle.

RECHARGING WITH SOLAR PANELS

1. Place your solar panel where it will get as much direct sunlight as possible.
2. Plug the output of the solar panel into the charging input of the Power Station to begin charging.You will know the generator is charging when the blue LED battery indicator lights blink. The generator is fully charged when all battery indicators stop blinking and remain solid.
   

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.
