Product Description
Product Instruction
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. (see figure 1)
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.
Protection Mode
Short-circuit/Overload Protection: If the generator output is short-circuited or the appliance load exceeds 150W or 100W for an extended period of time, the generator will automatically shutdown to protect itself. If this happens, reduce the load and restart the generator. Recharge if necessary.
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. (see figure 2)
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.
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. (see figure 3)
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. This information can be obtained by consulting the device manufacturer.
Using the LED Flashlight
This generator features a built-in ultra bright LED flashlight. Press the “ ” button to switch on the flashlight and press the button again to switch to blink/SOS mode. Press the button again to switch off.
This generator also features a built-in LED light panel. Press the “ ” button to switch on the lightpanel and press the button again to adjust brightness. Press the button again to switch off.
Warning! Do not point flashlight or LED light panel directly at the eyes.
Charging The Power Station
-
Charging through 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 (see figure 4). 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.
-
Charging with Solar Panel
- Place your solar panel where it will get as much direct sunlight as possible.
- Plug the output of the solar panel into the charging input of the Power Station to begin charging (see figure 5).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.
-
Charge from your car with a 12V car port.
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.
Notice : Since the output voltage from 12V car port will vary, charging speed and time will depend on your specific vehicle.
CAUTION
- Do not short-circuit the generator. To avoid short-circuiting, keep the generator away from all metal objects (e.g. coins, hair-pins, keys, etc.) and water.
- Do not heat the generator, or dispose of it in fire, water or other liquids. Keep away from high temperatures. Do not expose the generator to direct sunlight.
- Keep away from high humidity and dust.
- Do not disassemble or reassemble this generator.
- Do not drop, place heavy objects on, or allow strong impacts to this generator.
- Not intented for use by children or children without proper supervision.
- Do not cover the device with towels, clothing or other items.
- The generator may become hot when charging. This is normal. Use caution when handling.
- Do not charge the generator over the required time.
- Disconnect the generator when fully charged.
- Use the generator properly to avoid electronic shock
- DO NOT DISPOSE. Improper disposal may cause environmental harm or explosion
- The product is only to be used for temporary power needs, it cannot replace the standard DC or AC power of household appliances or digital products.
Product Application
- This product features a built-in high quality lithium-ion battery. It has no memory loss effect and features a high-capacity. However, we still recommend that you opperate in the range of 50 ºF – 86 ºF in order to obtain the optimal charging capacity.
- When charging, in order to avoid interference, please stay away from TV, radio and other equipment.
- If the device has not been used for a long time, please disconnect the cable and store properly.
- In order to extend the life of product (lithium-ion battery), it is best to charge within 3 months, and charge at least once within 6 months.
Cold Weather Usage
Cold temperatures (below freezing) can affect the generator’s battery capacity. If you’ll be operating off-grid in sub-zero conditions, we recommend you keep your generator in an insulated cooler, and connected to a power source (solar panels). The natural heat generated by the generator contained in an insulated cooler or insulator will keep battery capacity at its highest.
RECYCLE
Always return your used electronic products, batteries, and packaging materials to dedicated collection points. This way helps prevent uncontrolled waste disposal and promote the recycling of materials.
Battery Information
Your device has and internal, non-removable, rechargeable battery. Do not attempt to remove the battery, as you may damage the device. The battery can be charged and used over 500 times, but it will eventually wear out.
