5. Setup and Initial Charging
5.1. Unboxing and Inspection
Carefully remove the power station and solar panel from their packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage. If any components are missing or damaged, contact customer support immediately.
5.2. Initial Charging
Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the LIPOWER G1000. The unit supports three primary charging methods:
- AC Wall Outlet Charging:
Connect the provided AC adapter to the AC input port on the power station and then plug it into a standard wall outlet. The LCD display will indicate charging status. A full charge from 0-100% typically takes approximately 1.5 hours, with 0-80% achievable in about 58 minutes.
- Solar Panel Charging:
Unfold the 100W solar panel and position it in direct sunlight. Connect the solar panel to the DC input port on the power station using the appropriate cable. The LCD display will show solar input wattage. Charging time varies based on sunlight intensity and panel orientation. For optimal performance, adjust the solar panel angle (0-70°) to maximize sun exposure. Charging from 0-100% with a 200W solar input can take 3-5 hours.

- Car Charger Charging:
Connect the car charging cable to the DC input port on the power station and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V/24V cigarette lighter socket. Charging time from 0-100% typically takes 4-6 hours.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Turning On/Off
Press and hold the main power button for a few seconds to turn the unit on or off. The LCD display will illuminate upon activation.
6.2. Using Output Ports
To use a specific output port (AC, USB, DC), press the corresponding button next to the port section. The indicator light for that section will turn on, signifying it is active. Connect your devices to the appropriate ports.
- AC Outlets: Suitable for devices requiring up to 1200W continuous power (2000W peak). Ensure the total wattage of connected devices does not exceed this limit.
- USB Ports: Use for charging mobile phones, tablets, and other small electronics. The USB-C PD100W port offers rapid charging for compatible devices.
- DC/Cigarette Lighter Ports: Ideal for 12V DC appliances like car refrigerators or portable air compressors.
6.3. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Function
The LIPOWER G1000 features a <10ms UPS function. When the power station is connected to an AC wall outlet and has devices plugged into its AC output, it can automatically switch to battery power within 10 milliseconds during a power outage. This protects sensitive electronics from data loss or interruption.

7. Maintenance and Storage
7.1. General Maintenance
- Keep the unit clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
- Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris.
- Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight or heat sources for prolonged periods.
7.2. Battery Care and Storage
The LIPOWER G1000 uses a durable LiFePO4 battery, designed for over 4000 charge cycles to 80% capacity. To prolong battery lifespan:
- For long-term storage, charge the unit to approximately 50-80% every two months.
- Store the unit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (ideally between 0°C to 40°C / 32°F to 104°F).
- Avoid completely draining the battery before recharging, though the LiFePO4 chemistry is more tolerant than other battery types.
