8. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your power station:

• Regular Charging: Fully charge and discharge the battery at least once every 3 months to maintain battery health.

• Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Do not use liquid cleaners.

9. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Power Display Not Normal: If the power display is inaccurate after transportation, perform 2-3 full charge/discharge cycles. This allows the internal MCU to recalibrate and restore normal percentage readings.
• Device Automatically Shuts Down: To prevent prolonged power consumption, the device has a sleep function.
  • Car charging port output less than 200mA: 3-minute delay to close.
  • AC outlet output less than 3W: 15-minute delay to close.
  • USB-A port output less than 60mA: 3-minute delay to close.
  Ensure connected devices draw sufficient power or manually reactivate the port if needed.
• Overload Protection: If a connected device exceeds the power station's output limit (e.g., 300W for AC), the unit may display an exclamation sign and shut down the overloaded port to prevent damage. Disconnect the high-power device and restart the port.
