Connecting Devices

AC Devices: Plug into AC outlets. DC Devices: Use 12V car adapter plug. USB Devices: Use appropriate cables.

Ensure Oz Charge OC-SR10 is powered ON (LCD active).
Check the power rating of your device does not exceed the port's maximum output.
Connect device cable securely to the correct port.
The LCD will update to show output wattage and remaining battery runtime estimate.

Tip: For devices with high startup surge (like small refrigerators), connect to AC output first, then turn the device on.

Solar Charging

Supports charging via compatible solar panels (sold separately).

Panel Compatibility: Use solar panel with Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) between 12V-24V and max 100W power.
Connection: Use the correct cable to connect panel's output to the unit's Solar Charge Input port.
Positioning: Angle solar panel towards direct sunlight. LCD will show "SOLAR" icon and input wattage.
Optimal Charging: Full charge time varies based on panel wattage and sunlight conditions (approx. 4-8 hours with 100W panel).
MPPT Controller: Automatically optimizes input for maximum efficiency.

WARNING! Do not exceed max solar input specifications. Disconnect panel before cleaning or during storms. Avoid shading on the panel.

Safety Features

Overload Protection: Automatically shuts off output if exceeded. Short Circuit Protection: For all output ports. Over-temperature Protection: Reduces output or shuts down if overheated. Low-Temperature Charging Protection: Prevents charging if battery is below freezing. Battery Management System (BMS): Monitors cell voltage and health.

Care & Maintenance

Store in a cool, dry place. Recharge at least every 3 months if storing long-term. Clean exterior with a dry, soft cloth.

CAUTION! Do not immerse in water. Do not expose to temperatures above 104°F (40°C) or below 14°F (-10°C) for extended periods. Use only the provided or manufacturer-approved charging accessories.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Unit will not turn on	Battery depleted	Connect to AC wall charger or solar panel to recharge.
No output from ports	Eco Mode active / Overload	Disable Eco Mode (double-press POWER). Disconnect devices and restart unit.
Solar not charging	Insufficient sun / Wrong cable	Ensure panel is in direct sunlight. Verify cable is properly connected to Solar Input port.
LCD shows fault icon	Over-temperature / Short circuit	Turn unit off, let cool in shaded area. Check connected device for shorts, then restart.
Rapid battery drain	High load device / Old battery	Check device wattage is within limits. After 500+ cycles, battery capacity may reduce (normal wear).

Reset: Hold POWER + Flashlight buttons for 10 seconds to perform a hard reset.
