Installation & Setup

Unpack and inspect all components. Ensure all parts are present and undamaged.

Position the solar panel: Place in direct sunlight, facing the sun for optimal charging.
Connect the solar panel to the power unit: Use the provided cable to connect the panel's output to the unit's solar input port.
Initial battery charge: Allow the unit to charge via solar for 6-8 hours before first use for full capacity.
Connect your devices: Use appropriate cables to connect devices to USB, DC, or AC output ports.

WARNING! Do not look directly at the sun or expose the solar panel to extreme heat sources. Keep away from water when connecting cables.

First-Time Use

Power on the unit and begin charging devices.

Check battery level: Press the power button to illuminate the LED indicator. Green indicates high charge, yellow medium, red low.
Select output: Turn on the output switch for the desired port (USB/DC/AC).
Connect device: Plug your device into the chosen port using its standard cable.
Monitor charging: The LED will show charging status. Disconnect device when fully charged.

CAUTION! Do not exceed the maximum output rating for any port. Refer to specifications.

Specifications

Solar Panel: Monocrystalline, 20W max output.
Battery Capacity: 100Wh Lithium-ion.
Output Ports: 2x USB-A (5V/2.4A each), 1x DC (12V/5A), 1x AC Inverter (110V, 100W continuous).
Input: Solar (11-24V DC), DC wall adapter (optional).
Indicator: 4-level LED for battery status.
Protections: Overcharge, over-discharge, short circuit, over-temperature.

Controls and Indicators

Front Panel: ON/OFF Power Switch, LED Battery Indicator (4 LEDs), Output Port Switches (USB, DC, AC).

LED Indicator Meaning: 4 Green = 75-100%, 3 Green = 50-75%, 2 Yellow = 25-50%, 1 Red = 10-25%, Flashing Red = Below 10% (needs charge).

Charging Indicator: When charging via solar, LEDs will scroll to indicate active charging. When fully charged, all 4 LEDs will be solid green.

Charging Devices

Supports smartphones, tablets, laptops (with appropriate adapter), LED lights, small fans, and other USB/DC devices.

Ensure the power unit is sufficiently charged (check LED indicator).
Turn on the output switch for the port you wish to use.
Connect your device using its original or certified cable.
Charging will begin automatically. The device's own charging indicator will activate.
When finished, turn off the output switch and disconnect the device.

Tip: For fastest charging, charge only one high-power device at a time.

Solar Panel Operation

For optimal solar charging performance.

Placement: Position the solar panel in direct, unobstructed sunlight. Angle towards the sun if possible.
Connection: Ensure the cable from the panel is firmly connected to the "SOLAR IN" port on the power unit.
Charging Status: The LED indicator on the unit will scroll, showing active solar charging.
Charging Time: Full charge from 0% via solar takes approximately 8-10 hours under ideal conditions (varies with sunlight intensity).
Maintenance: Keep the solar panel surface clean and free of dust, snow, or debris for maximum efficiency.

WARNING! Do not attempt to disassemble the solar panel or power unit. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Safety Features

Built-in protections: Over-Charge Protection (OCP), Over-Discharge Protection (ODP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP), Over-Temperature Protection (OTP). The charge controller manages solar input to prevent battery damage.

Care & Storage

Clean with a dry, soft cloth. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.

CAUTION! Do not immerse in water. Do not expose to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) or below -20°C (-4°F). For long-term storage, charge the battery to approximately 50-60% every 3 months.
