When recharging your PHOENIX 200, one of the Battery Level LED Indicators will flash. The flashing LED indicates the unit’s current battery level. Once your PHOENIX 200 is fully recharged, all Battery Level LED Indicators will be lit and remain solid.

CAUTION
If the Battery Level LED Indicators to flash in an unusual way, your PHOENIX 200 may need special attention. Please refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section for help.

RECHARGING YOUR PHOENIX 200

CAUTION
To maximize battery life, be sure to fully recharge your PHOENIX 200 before operating or storing.
NOTE
To shorten the recharge time of PHOENIX 200, it is recommended to disconnect all loads while recharging the unit.

Recharge Time
Recharge via Solar: 7 Hours
Recharge via AC/DC Adapter: 7 Hours
Recharge via Car Socket: 8 Hours

NOTE

The above recharge times are based on conditions when the PHOENIX 200 is recharged at full speed with no loads connected to it.

Recharging via Solar

For optimal recharging performance, it is strongly recommended to recharge your PHOENIX 200 using a solar panel with 30W or higher rated power (not included) on bright sunny days free of scattered clouds.
Place the solar panel under direct sunlight. Steer clear of trees or branches that can shade the solar panel and slow down the recharging process.
Use a solar panel connector to 5.5mm DC adapter cable (not included) to connect the solar panel to the DC Input Port of your PHOENIX 200 and place your PHOENIX 200 in the shade to prevent it from overheating.
The PHOENIX 200 will begin to recharge automatically and one of the Battery Level LED Indicators will flash. The flashing LED indicates the unit’s current battery level.

NOTE
For some makes or models of vehicles, the car socket may not operate when the ignition is turned off. In such cases, please start the engine before recharging your PHOENIX 200 via the car socket

OPERATING YOUR PHOENIX 200

CAUTION
Operating your PHOENIX 200 at high temperatures above 113 °F (45 ) or at low temperatures below 32 °F (0°C ) can result in battery performance degradation and service life-shortening. For optimal battery performance and maximum battery life, it is strongly recommended to operate your PHOENIX 200 at room temperature.
Operation Time

NOTE
The above estimation formulas only apply when the PHOENIX 200 has been fully recharged and the device does not draw too much power.
NOTE
Actual number of full charges and working hours may vary from different powering methods and device operation status.

Powering Your Devices

Four Port Status LED Indicators respectively display the status of the AC Outlets, DC Output Port and CIG Port, USB-C Port, as well as USB-A Ports.
To use the output port(s), first press the Main Power Button to turn on the PHOENIX 200. The Battery Level LED Indicator(s) will illuminate to indicate the unit’s current battery level. Then, press the corresponding Port On/Off Button(s) to turn on the output port(s). The corresponding Port Status LED Indicator(s) will illuminate. Lastly, connect your device(s) to the output port(s) for power. When not using the output port(s), long-press the corresponding Port On/Off Button(s) to turn it (them) off and the corresponding Port Status LED Indicator(s) will go out.
When no device is connected to the PHOENIX 200, long-press the Main Power Button to turn it off to conserve energy.
When the battery level of PHOENIX 200 is lower than 10%, the use of the AC Outlets will be automatically disabled. Please use DC outputs to continue powering your devices.
When the battery voltage is excessively low, all the outputs will be cut off automatically. See TROUBLESHOOTING for more details.

Compatible Devices:
CAUTION
Battery high-temperature protection may be triggered when the PHOENIX 200 is operating at full load. When this is the case, cool down the unit before resuming operation. See TROUBLESHOOTING for more details.
CAUTION
When using the AC outlets of your PHOENIX 200, keep 4 inches of space on either side of the unit to guarantee efficient heat dissipation of the inverter.
CAUTION
If any of the Ports Status LED Indicators flashes in an unusual way, your PHOENIX 200 may need special attention. See TROUBLESHOOTING for help.
NOTE
Some devices that require high current impulse may not be compatible with the PHOENIX 200 even though they do not exceed the power ratings of output ports.
NOTE
When the PHOENIX 200 is powering devices that have high power consumption, the battery level can drop quickly. In this case, you may not get exactly 189Wh of energy.
NOTE
The PHOENIX 200 can be recharged and deliver DC power to your devices simultaneously. However, AC power is not available when the PHOENIX 200 is being recharged.

Using the LED Flashlight

The LED Flashlights on both sides of the Folding Carrying Handle have four light modes: Bright (100% brightness), Dim (50% brightness), Flashing, and SOS.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why doesn’t my PHOENIX 200 power other devices?
First, make sure the unit has been turned on by pressing the Main Power Button. Then check the battery level of the unit. If the last Battery Level LED Indicator is flashing, please recharge the unit as soon as possible. If not, make sure the output ports have been turned on by pressing the corresponding Ports On/Off Buttons. Finally, check if the connected device conforms to the specifications of output ports. If the unit still can’t power your devices, see TROUBLESHOOTING or contact us for help. Refer to the last page of the User Guide for contact information.
Can I replace the battery pack in my PHOENIX 200?
No, the battery pack in PHOENIX 200 is not replaceable. Do not try to dismantle your PHOENIX 200 and replace the battery by yourself. Doing so may cause irreversible damages to the unit and battery explosion.
Is the PHOENIX 200 chainable?
No, the PHOENIX 200 cannot be chained with other power stations. If you are looking for a rechargeable AC power supply with a larger capacity, please visit our official website or contact us for more options. Refer to the last page of the User Guide for contact information.
Is the PHOENIX 200 waterproof?
No, the PHOENIX 200 is not waterproof. Please keep the unit away from moisture. Do not submerge the unit in water or operate the unit in the rain. Doing so may cause short-circuits, electric shocks, and fire.
Why doesn’t the battery of PHOENIX 200 last as long as I expect?
The battery capacity is rated at 0.2C. When the PHOENIX 200 is powering devices that have high power consumption, the internal resistance of the battery will turn more energy into heat and lower battery capacity as a result. When this is the case, you may not get exactly 189Wh of energy.
