• Check if the device connected exceeds the maximum output power for that port.
• Verify the power station has sufficient battery charge.

9.3 Slow Charging

• Ensure the charger used is the original AC wall charger or a compatible solar panel/car charger with sufficient wattage.
• Check for proper connection of the charging cable.
