4.6 Power Lifting Mode

The Power Lifting mode allows the AC70 to handle devices with higher starting wattage (up to 2000W peak) than its continuous 1000W output. This is particularly useful for appliances with motors or heating elements that require a brief surge of power to start.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Battery Care

The AC70 utilizes a durable LiFePO4 battery, rated for over 3000 charge cycles to retain 80% capacity. To maximize battery lifespan, avoid consistently draining the battery to 0% or charging it to 100% if not immediately needed. Store the unit with approximately 50% charge if not in use for extended periods.

Store the AC70 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the unit is clean and free of debris before storage. Recharge the unit every 3-6 months if stored for long periods to maintain battery health.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Common Issues

• Unit Not Turning On: Ensure the battery is charged. If not, connect to an AC outlet for charging.
• No Output from AC/DC Ports: Verify that the respective AC or DC output buttons are pressed and illuminated. Check if the total load exceeds the unit's capacity.
