GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The REMAX Portable Power Hub is a rechargeable battery-powered generator. It
contains a rechargeable lithium battery and Battery Management System (BMS) to
safely store energy which can then be supplied as either 220VAC for mains-
powered devices or as DC voltage for USB & 12V devices. For charging, it
requires a 12V to 30V DC input, which can be supplied using the included AC
power supply, a suitable solar panel (200W max.), a vehicle accessory socket
or another DC power source.
The REMAX Portable Power Hub can be used to deliver safe and reliable power
for your devices when traveling or camping as well as in emergency situations
when reliable power may not be available. The clear display on the front panel
shows the battery level and power consumption in real-time which enables you
to manage and charge the battery when required.
Power Outputs and applications
USB Ports: Power & charge smartphones, MP3 players, digital cameras, tablets,
e-readers
DC 12V Output Ports: LED lights, fans, etc.
DC 12V Cigarette Socket: Portable fridges, 12V automotive appliances, etc.
220VAC Output: Electric appliances such as Televisions, Laptops, Microwaves,
Rice Cookers, etc.
- The power consumption of 220V appliances must be less than the device’s rated continuous output power (i.e. RM1000PH is rated at 1000W & RM1500PH is rated at 2000W)

OPERATION
USING THE POWER HUB
a. Use the power switch (13) to turn on the power hub. The display (3) will
show the battery status (%) and the power output indicators will show DC OFF
(1) and AC OFF (7) in red.
b. Press the AC ON/OFF button (15) to activate AC power; the AC status will
change to AC ON (7).
c. Connect your AC device(s) to the AC socket(s) (10).
d. Press AC ON/OFF button (15) again to turn off AC power when not in use. The
AC status will change to AC OFF (7).
e. Press DC ON/OFF (12) button to activate DC power; the DC status will change
to DC ON (1).
f. You can now connect devices any DC port (i.e. USB-A (9), USB-C (8), DC 5521
round port (17), car cigarette port (11) or EC5 (18)).
g. Press DC ON/OFF button (12) again to turn off DC power when not in use. The
DC status will change to DC OFF (1).
Will my AC device work with the Power Hub?
First, you need to determine the power consumption of your electronic device.
This is normally written on the device and is also specified in the user
manual.
You will then need to check the output port you intend to use to ensure that
the maximum power output of the port is greater than the device requirement.
If your device uses more power than the port is able to provide, the power
supply will shut off automatically.
NOTE:
- When the battery level is 10% or lower, the battery display (3) will turn red.
- When the battery level is less than 1%, both AC and DC outputs will deactivate to protect the battery from being damaged.
- If the Power Hub is not going to be used for an extended period, make sure it is fully charged before being stored.
- The Power Hub should be changed every 6 months if it is not being used.
CHARGING THE POWER HUB
Charging with supplied AC adapter (12-30VDC, 200W max.)
- Plug the power cable into a wall outlet, then connect the output to the input port (20) at the rear of the power hub.
- The display will indicate that the Power Hub is charging (2).
- It will stop charging when the battery is full.
Charging with solar panel (12-30VDC, 200W max.)
- Place your solar panel in direct sunlight and face it to the sun to ensure maximum output.
- Connect the output from the solar panel into one of the charging ports at the rear of the Power Hub (20 or 21)
- The display will indicate that the Power Hub is charging (2).
- It will stop charging when the battery is full.
PROTECTION CIRCUITS
Overload
When the AC output power is higher than the specified output power of the
Power Hub, the display will show an OVERLOAD message. Depending on the power
level, the device output may automatically turn off to protect itself. If this
occurs, disconnect the device and press the AC ON/OFF button (15) to restart.
High temperature
When the internal temperature exceeds 35 o C or the output power is greater
than 200W, the cooling fan is activated. When the internal temperature exceeds
80 o C, the temperature alarm is activated. The AC and DC outputs are turned
off and the display will show a HI TEMP warning. The internal temperature must
fall below 40 o C before the Power Hub outputs function again.
STORAGE AND DOWNTIME MAINTENANCE
Failure to maintain your power station by following steps can result in battery damage.
- Please charge your power station before storage and fully recharge it every 6 months at least. Store it in a cool and dry place.
- If the main power supply shuts down automatically because of low battery capacity, you must recharge the power hub as soon as possible.
NOTE:
Cold temperatures (below freezing) can impact the battery capacity of the
power station.
If you are living in sub-zero conditions, you can use the Power Hub to provide
power however you must never charge the Power Hub in the sub-zero conditions
(i.e. below 0 o C). Charging the battery when it is below 0 o C will damage
the battery and reduce its capacity.
