Off-grid Power Storage System
The system diagram illustrates the flow of power:
- DC power or Solar Panel/Charger connects to a Charge Controller.
- The Charge Controller connects to the BMS (Battery Management System).
- The BMS connects to a Pure-sine-wave inverter (AC output controller) and a 12V/3A cigarette lighter socket.
- The inverter powers small appliances.
- The BMS also connects to Type-C/USB output ports, powering mobile phones and tablets.
- Car devices can be powered by the 12V cigarette lighter socket.

How to Use the Product
Turn On/Off the Product
- To turn on: Press and hold the master power button for about 2 seconds. The LED indicator and display screen will light up.
- To turn off: Press and hold the master power button for about 2 seconds. The display screen and LED indicator will turn off.
AC/DC Output
Note: Ensure the product is turned on before activating AC/DC output.
- To turn on AC/DC output: Press and hold the AC/DC power button. The corresponding LED indicator will light up, and the display will show "AC ON/DC ON".
- To turn off AC/DC output: Press and hold the AC/DC power button. The LED indicator will turn off, and the display will show "AC OFF/DC OFF".
PV Charge Activation
Turn off the generator, connect PV or charger to charge. The PV charge function activates, and the first column on the screen will show input power. The generator is in charging state and cannot support AC/DC functions. To enable AC/DC functions, press and hold the master power button for over 1 second to turn on the generator. After the generator is on, connect PV or charger to start charging; the screen will display input power wattage, and AC/DC functions can be enabled.
Notice:
- If the Master Power Button is off, AC and DC buttons are off, and no AC/DC output is available.
- If the Master Power Button is on, but AC and DC buttons are off, AC/DC output is not available. You must turn on the AC power button and DC power button separately.
How to Charge the Product
Charge with Solar Power
Connect the solar charging cable or AC adapter to the product's input port. The display will light up and show charging power. The product will not turn on by itself while charging. If it was turned off, it remains off unless manually turned on.
Charge with AC Power
Plug one end of the adapter into a wall outlet and the other end into the product's input port. The product will charge, and the battery status can be monitored via the battery icon on the LCD screen. The product has a built-in advanced control circuit and will stop charging automatically when fully charged.
Cold Weather
Cold weather can affect battery capacity. Discharging is possible in sub-zero temperatures (<0°C), but charging is not recommended as it can severely damage the battery and reduce its capacity permanently.
- Low temperature charging protection: If charged below 0°C, the product will shut off and stop charging. It will automatically restart charging when the temperature rises above 10°C.
- Low temperature discharging protection: If discharged at -20°C, the product will turn off. It will restart and turn on output when the temperature rises above -10°C.
FAQ
- Q1: How to check charging status? The battery icon indicates the battery level in 5 segments. The icon flashes while charging and becomes solid with all segments filled when fully charged.
- Q2: Can this product be used to charge my electronic devices? Check the power at each output port. The AC output port provides power via the built-in inverter with a maximum continuous output of 1000W. It is suitable for devices requiring no more than 1000W.
Intelligent Cooling Control
The cooling fan operates automatically under the following conditions:
- Inverter load exceeds 400W.
- 12V cigarette lighter socket load exceeds 80W.
- Charging power of attached appliances exceeds 100W.
The system also adjusts PV input or AC output power based on outer case temperature to maintain a touchable temperature. Do not use the machine if the cooling fan is broken.
Frequency Setting
With the product powered on, turn on DC output and keep AC output off. Press and hold both the DC and AC buttons for 1 second to enter frequency setting mode. Press the AC power button to select the inverter AC output frequency. Press and hold both DC and AC power buttons again to exit the mode. Restart the machine.
