Recharge Your Power Station
Solar Panel Recharging (100W Max)
Recharge the power station using solar energy by connecting up to one Anker 100W or 60W Solar Panel via a solar charging cable. The solar panel's voltage should be between 11V-28V to prevent damage to the power station. The solar charging cable is sold separately.

Recharge the power station by connecting it to a wall adapter using a USB-C cable. Two 140W USB-C Input/Output Ports can be used simultaneously for faster charging. It is recommended to use a 140W USB-C cable and a 140W adapter for the best charging experience. USB-C cables are sold separately.
Car Recharging
Recharge the power station by connecting it to a car's output port using the car charging cable (sold separately). When the portable power station has 1% battery remaining, the "Remaining Battery" indicator will flicker to remind you to recharge.
Powering Your Device
Power On/Off
Press the main power button for 3 seconds to turn the power station on or off. When the "Remaining Battery" indicator is visible on the LCD screen, the power station is ready to charge devices.
When powered on, press the main power button to turn the screen on or off. The screen automatically turns off after 30 seconds of inactivity, but this auto-off time can be adjusted in the Anker app.
The power station will automatically power off if all output buttons are turned off and no power loads are detected for 2 hours. The standby duration can be set in the Anker app; it is recommended not to set this to "never" to allow the product to conserve power during long-term unused periods.
USB Charging
Connect your devices to the available USB ports. Note: The USB-C2 and USB-C3 output ports are classified as PS3. There is a potential risk of fire when connecting additional equipment to these USB-C ports; ensure safeguards against fire are considered for connected equipment or accessories.
Only connect your portable power station to equipment or accessories that comply with clauses 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5 of IEC/EN IEC/ BS EN IEC 62368-1 standards. For maximum power delivery (20VDC/5A, 100W; 28VDC/5A, 140W), use a USB-C 5A cable.
