AC Charging
Connect the AC adapter to the AC input port on the power station and then to a wall outlet. The display will indicate charging status. A full charge can be achieved in approximately 2 hours.
Solar Charging
Connect compatible solar panels (up to 1200W, depending on model) to the DC input port using the provided SolarSaga Parallel Adapter Cable. Position solar panels in direct sunlight for optimal charging efficiency. The display will show solar input wattage.
Car Charging
Connect the car charger cable to the car's 12V auxiliary power outlet and the DC input port on the power station. This method is suitable for charging while traveling.
Using the Power Station
To power your devices, simply connect them to the appropriate output ports on the AP2000. Press the power button for the desired output section (AC, DC, USB) to activate it.
- AC Output: For household appliances and electronics requiring 110V AC power. Ensure the total wattage does not exceed 2400W (4800W surge).
- USB Output: For charging smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices. Includes USB-A (QC3.0) and USB-C ports.
- DC Output: For devices requiring 12V DC power, such as car refrigerators or portable air pumps.
Emergency Power Supply (EPS) Function
The AP2000 features an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) function, also known as EPS, with a switchover time of less than 20ms. This allows it to provide continuous power to connected devices during a power outage.
