Application scenario

Outdoor: Car equipment: car fridge, car vacuum cleaner, and other car equipment; Camping equipment: garden electric tools (power tools such as blowers, lawnmowers, electric drills, electric saws), BBQ grills, LED lights, etc.
Indoor: Refrigerator, kitchen devices such as kettle, toaster, blender, coffee maker, rice cooker, laptops, phones, lighting, etc.

Examples of loads

12V / 25A, 12V / 3A, cigarette lighter port, USB, and type C output port is suitable for most products in the market, but some products may trigger overcurrent protection if there is a large current impact at the moment of starting.
The power of electrical products used for AC output should be less than 2000W. According to the different electrical products, when the rated power is less than 2000W, some air conditioners, motors, and other devices that need instantaneous high current when starting may trigger overcurrent when the ratio of the peak value of rated current exceeds 3:1. At this time, we recommended that you select the electrical appliances with a lower power rate.
When the output is overloaded, over-current, or short circuit, the product will turn off the corresponding output, and then it will automatically start twice (at an interval of 20s). If there is still an overload, over-current, or short circuit alarm, the output will be locked, and it needs to be manually troubleshot and then restart. If the output stops repeatedly after the restart, please stop using it immediately (only after troubleshooting) or contact the seller or maintenance agent for help.
When the battery power is discharged to 0%, the DC and AC output will automatically turn off. Only when the battery power is charged to more than 5%, the DC and AC output can be turned on, which is to protect the battery and enhance its cycle life.
This machine supports charging and discharging simultaneously.

FAQ(Frequently Asked Questions)+

What is the depth of discharge (DoD)?
To extend battery life, the portable power station has a DOD setting of 90%, which means that only 90% of the battery capacity can be discharged. Reserve 10% of the energy to avoid damage to the battery due to over-discharge.
Can it be charged and discharged at the same time?
Yes, it supports pass-through charging for both AC and DC loads. We recommend if you do this that you make sure to fully charge the AC200P at least once per month to extend battery life.
Can AC output charge the refrigerator, air conditioner or electric drill?
Lower power for those devices can be charged. It is not recommended to use more than 1400W power. The starting power of refrigerator, air conditioner and electric drill is generally 5-7 times of the nominal power, which is easy to trigger AC overload.
Can two products be used in parallel?
No.
Can I use third-party solar panels?
You can use any solar panels available as long as they have MC4 connectors and when wired together the voltage is between 35V to 150V and no more than 700W.
How do I know if my appliance will work with the product?
When figuring out what appliances can be powered with your portable power station, you will need to calculate how much the continuous loads are of each appliance you want to run simultaneously to determine if the total amount of watts is within the capacity of thegenerator. You can find the wattage of the appliance by looking at the manufacturer’s information (this information is usually stamped or printed on most appliances and equipment) to measure its wattage. Add all wattages of appliances to be run to determine if the total amount of watts is within the maximum continuous and surge watts.
Can I connect the product to my home circuit breaker box?
Can not.
