AC Wall Charging: Connect AC charger to unit and wall outlet (fastest method).
Solar Charging: Connect compatible solar panel to solar input (eco-friendly).
Car Charging: Connect to 12V car outlet while driving (convenient for travel).
Charging Status: LCD shows charging current, estimated time remaining.
Simultaneous Charging: Some models support solar + AC charging simultaneously.
Battery Maintenance: Charge every 3 months if storing long-term.

WARNING! Use only Nature Power approved chargers and cables. Incorrect voltage can damage unit.

Safety Features

Overcharge Protection: Automatically stops charging at 100%. Over-discharge Protection: Shuts off output before battery damage. Short Circuit Protection: Immediately cuts power during short circuit. Overload Protection: Shuts off if total load exceeds 500W. Temperature Protection: Reduces charging current if too hot/cold. Reverse Polarity Protection: Prevents damage from incorrect cable connection.

Care & Maintenance

Keep clean and dry. Wipe with dry cloth only; no liquids or chemicals.

Regular cleaning: Use dry cloth to remove dust from vents and ports.
Battery maintenance: Store at 50-80% charge if not using for extended period.
Ventilation: Ensure vents are unobstructed during use.
Connection check: Regularly inspect cables and ports for damage.

CAUTION! Do not disassemble unit. No user-serviceable parts inside. Contact authorized service for repairs.
