7. Maintenance

• Storage: Store the power station in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The recommended storage temperature is -10°C to 40°C.
• Charging Frequency: For optimal battery health, fully charge the unit at least once every 3-6 months, even if not in use.
• Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Temperature Range: Operate the unit within the recommended temperature range of 10°C to 40°C. Charging should occur between 0°C and 40°C.
• Battery Life: The LiFePO4 battery is designed for over 2000 charge cycles, providing a long product lifespan.

8. Troubleshooting

• Unit not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. If not, connect it to a power source using one of the charging methods.
• No output from ports: Check if the respective output buttons (AC Power, DC Power) are activated. Ensure the device you are trying to power is within the power station's wattage limits.
• Slow charging: Verify that the charging adapter or solar panel meets the specified input requirements. Environmental factors like temperature or sunlight intensity (for solar) can affect charging speed.
• Overload protection activated: If the unit shuts down, it may be due to an overload. Disconnect some devices and restart the power station. Ensure the total wattage of connected devices does not exceed the rated power (600W) or peak power (1200W).
• Overheating: If the unit feels excessively hot, disconnect all devices and allow it to cool down in a well-ventilated area. Ensure vents are not blocked.
