Charging Methods
The Eco Play 3600 Pro can be charged using AC power, solar panels, or a car charger.
- AC Charging: Connect the AC charging cable to a wall outlet. The unit supports adjustable input power from 300W to 1500W.
- Solar Charging: Connect compatible solar panels (up to 2000W, 12V-160V voltage) to the solar input port. Optimal charging speed depends on sunlight intensity and panel specifications.
- Car Charging: Use a compatible car charging cable to charge the unit from your vehicle's 12V outlet.
