Congratulations on your purchase of your power station, a plug-and-play backup power supply integrated with solar regulation. This energy storage system with cloud-based controls (via Bluetooth app) allows you to monitor solar charging at your convenience. With 288 watt-hours of power, you can keep your laptops, lights, and AC/DC devices running longer. Welcome to solar life.
Precautions Before Use
- Ensure the power level of this power station is not too low before taking it outdoors. It can charge and discharge simultaneously, but solar charging is significantly affected by weather conditions.
- The lifespan of Lion batteries can be considerably extended if handled and used correctly. The most important remark: use the unit within a room temperature of 0~+40°C (32~104°F). Ensure you avoid humid environments and do not store outdoors.
- Ensure your device's rated power is ≤ 300W and its peak power is < 500W. In some cases, the instantaneous power of specific devices can be 3 times their rated power.
- It is normal for this unit to become warmer during charging/discharging. Please use it in a cool, well-ventilated location. Keep it away from open flames, sparks, or conductive materials during charging the battery.
- The AC source voltage and frequency may vary by country (US/JP 110V 60Hz or EU/UK 230V AU 240V 50Hz). Please follow local regulations to choose the correct version before use.
Get to Know Your Equipment
Power Button (Bluetooth): Press the power button to turn on and wake the LCD screen. The system displays the current battery level. Upon power-on, press and hold the button until a message appears on the screen to enter Bluetooth mode.

What's Included
Charging Your Power Station
Charging from a Wall Outlet: Use the provided AC wall adapter. Using an additional adapter might shorten its lifespan.
Charging via USB-C: Charge with a PD charger via the USB-C port. It supports the PD bidirectional charging standard, up to 60W maximum.
Charging from Your Car: In case of battery depletion causing a starting problem, it is suggested to use this charging method only when driving. For 12V batteries only, not for 24V batteries. This is not suitable for vehicles that remain idle for long periods, as the battery can easily drop below 12V.
Charging from Solar Energy (MPPT Regulation): Charge using an ALLPOWERS 80W foldable solar panel/modules, using the MC4/DC5525 to Anderson cable. Different solar panels require different charging adapters. The integrated connection cable for solar charging is not included. If in doubt, please email us for assistance.
Three charging methods: DC port, USB-C port. The Anderson port supports the DC port + USB-C port, or the Anderson port + USB-C port for simultaneous charging, with a maximum input power of 140W.
Complete Charging Time (For reference, practical use as standard)
Charging Method | Estimated Charging Time |
---|---|
Method 1: Wall charger (60W max input) | Approx. 5 to 6 hours |
Method 2: Car cigarette lighter (80W max input) | Approx. 4 to 5 hours |
Method 3: Solar charging (MPPT 80W max input) | Approx. 4 to 5 hours |
Method 4: USB-C charger (60W max input) | Approx. 5 to 6 hours |
Method 5: Method 1/2/3 + Method 4 (140W max input) | Approx. 2-3 hours |
Period of the Year
Daylight hours change from season to season. For temporary solar charging, it's essential to know that cold weather will not negatively affect panel performance when they operate under light rather than heat.
Using Your Power Station to Power Devices
1 x USB-C: For smartphones and mini-laptops equipped with the PD fast charging standard, up to 100W bidirectional PD output.
3 x USB-A: For smartphones, power banks, small USB fans, and other USB-powered devices.
2x DC: For LED lamps or any other device requiring up to 12V DC operating voltage. (DC 5.5x25mm port, max 12V 5A per port).
2 x Universal AC Outlets: For AC portable devices (ensure your device's rated power is ≤ 300W and surge power is < 500W). The AC outlets are built with short-circuit protection, but they should also be protected from moisture.
Car Socket: For car refrigerators, 12V devices, etc. The car socket has short-circuit protection but should be protected with the rubber plug when not in use.
Wireless Charging: For Qi-compatible smart devices.
Reference Runtime for Common Devices
Different devices require different operating power. If you connect high-drain devices (e.g., a refrigerator), the charge level of this power station may drop very quickly, and you might not get the full 288Wh. Conversely, if you charge devices that consume power slowly (e.g., a small television), you will get closer to the full 288Wh capacity.
Device Type | Power Consumption | Estimated Runtime |
---|---|---|
Smartphone | 5W | 45-50 hours |
Laptop | 60W | 3.5-4.5 hours |
Refrigerator | 40W | 6-8 hours |
Camera | 10W | 20-23 hours |
Lamp | 30W | 8-9 hours |
Fan | 50W | 5-6 hours |
Kettle | 30W | 8-9 hours |
Light Bulb | 120W | 2-2.5 hours |
Storage and Maintenance
- It is suggested to fully charge the unit at least once every 90 days to maintain optimal performance, reliability, and longevity.
- Once output is complete, remember to turn off the master switch to save energy.
- Due to battery chemistry, available capacity may vary slightly with environment, such as cold weather or overheating (you may hear a cooling fan). Therefore, always use it at ambient temperature (0-40°C). It is also not recommended for outdoor storage or storage in a humid environment.
- If you live off-grid in sub-zero conditions, it is recommended to keep your unit in an insulated cooler and connect it to a power source (solar panels). The generated natural heat will maintain the battery capacity at its highest level.
- The internal batteries are not removable. If not disassembled, the charge and discharge cycle life is over 800 times, but it will eventually wear out.
- Continuously discharging the battery to 0% and then storing it with a low battery may reduce its lifespan. It is recommended to always store it with at least 20% of unused capacity.

FAQ
- Can I use the generator while it is charging? Yes, it is capable of producing power while charging.
- How often should it be recharged when not in use? We suggest recharging it via wall outlets at least once every 3 months. A low battery can also worsen self-discharge issues and shorten the battery's lifespan.
- What solar panel wattage would be the best panel to charge this device? It is recommended to choose a 100 to 140W solar panel to charge the power station; the charging time is approximately 4 to 5 hours (charging time depends on meteorological conditions).
- Can I take this unit with me when I travel? No, this product can only be shipped by freight or truck to your destination; it may not be shipped by commercial flight.
- How can I know if my multiple devices will work or not with this unit? Will it damage my devices if overloaded? First, you need to check the amount of energy your devices require, and ensure the total wattage does not exceed the limits of 300 + 15W. Even in case of overload, it will disable the AC output (except for CC ports) thanks to the advanced integrated system control module. (Please reconnect a lower-power AC device and restart after 1 minute.)
Disposal Guide
- If conditions permit, ensure the battery is fully discharged before disposing of it in a designated battery recycling bin. The product contains batteries with potentially hazardous chemicals. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to dispose of it in ordinary trash bins. For more details, please follow local laws and regulations for recycling and disposal.
- If the battery cannot be fully discharged due to a product failure, please do not dispose of it directly in the battery recycling bin. In this case, you must contact a professional battery recycling company for further treatment.
