2. Safety Instructions
- Do not use electrical appliances over 100W with the power station. This can damage the unit, especially devices prone to heat or with built-in air compressors (e.g., coffee makers, hair dryers, water pumps, toasters, portable air conditioners).
- The portable power bank's performance is maintained by regular charging and discharging. Do not completely deplete the unit's power before recharging.
- If not in use, recharge the power bank at least once every half a month, maintaining the battery capacity at 60%-80% to prevent it from entering a self-protection state.
- The junction box of the solar panel is not waterproof. Keep it dry to prevent damage.
- Avoid short circuits, over-current, over-voltage, overload, and overheating. The built-in Battery Management System (BMS) provides protection against these conditions.
- Operate and store the device within recommended temperature ranges.
