5.3 Emergency Power Supply (EPS) Functionality
The IEE P3200 features an EPS function for uninterrupted power during outages. Connect the power station between a wall outlet and your device. When grid power is available, the device draws power directly. In the event of a power outage, the unit automatically switches to battery power in under 0.01 seconds. In EPS mode (U.S. standard), the maximum AC output is limited to 1800W (120V, 15A). If this limit is exceeded, the AC output icon will flash to indicate overload.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Wipe the unit with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure all ports are free of dust and debris.
6.2 Storage
Store the IEE P3200 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, it is recommended to discharge the battery to 30% and recharge to 80% every 3-6 months to prolong battery life.
6.3 Battery Care
The unit is equipped with a LiFePO₄ battery, offering over 4,000 charge cycles. The integrated Battery Management System (BMS) and Micro Control Unit (MCU) monitor cell voltage and temperature for optimal performance and safety. Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently to maximize its lifespan.
