Use the AC outlet for laptops, lights, or small appliances (≤200W).
Use USB-C PD for fast-charging compatible laptops and phones.

WARNING! Do not connect devices with a starting surge or rated power exceeding 200W (400W surge).

Solar Charging

For off-grid renewable energy charging.

Use a solar panel with open-circuit voltage between 12V-30V and max power of 100W.
Connect the panel to the power station's DC input port using the proper cable.
Place the panel in direct sunlight. The LCD will show solar input wattage.
Charging time varies based on sunlight intensity and panel wattage.

Note: The unit has built-in MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) for optimal solar charging efficiency.

Care & Storage

Unplug all devices before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.

Long-term Storage: Charge to 50-80%, turn the unit off, and store in a cool, dry place (ideally 59°F/15°C). Recharge every 3-6 months.

CAUTION! Do not expose to temperatures above 104°F (40°C) or below 14°F (-10°C). Do not store in a vehicle.
