The ETA ULTRA can be charged via three methods:

• AC Wall Outlet: Use the provided AC Charge Cable.
• Solar Panels: Connect the 200W solar panel(s) using the 3-in-1 Adapter Cable.
• Car Charger: Use the provided Car Charge Cable to charge from a vehicle's 12V outlet.

6.2. Using the Power Station to Power Devices

To power your devices:

2. Activate the desired output section (AC, DC, USB, Wireless) by pressing its respective button. The indicator light for the activated section will illuminate.
3. Connect your devices to the appropriate output ports.
4. Monitor the LCD display for output wattage and remaining battery capacity.

6.3. EPS (Emergency Power Supply) Function

The ETA ULTRA features an EPS function for uninterrupted power during outages.

Figure 6.1: EPS Auto-Switch in action.

When the ETA ULTRA is plugged into a wall outlet and devices are connected to its AC output, it acts as a bypass, supplying power directly from the grid. In the event of a power outage, the unit automatically switches to its internal battery supply within 30 milliseconds, providing continuous power to connected devices. This function is ideal for critical appliances like CPAP machines, fish tanks, or routers.

7. Maintenance

7.1. Battery Care

The ETA ULTRA uses a LiFePO4 (LFP) battery, known for its longevity (3000+ cycles) and stability.

Figure 7.1: LiFePO4 Battery System.

• Regular Charging: For optimal battery life, fully charge the unit at least once every 3-6 months, even if not in use.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the unit to extreme heat or cold for prolonged periods.
• Partial Discharges: LiFePO4 batteries benefit from partial discharges rather than frequent full discharges.

7.2. Cleaning and Storage

• Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior of the power station and solar panel. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the unit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the unit is charged to at least 50% before long-term storage.
