Get To Know Your Product
1. Front Panel Overview
The front panel features:
- POWER ON/OFF Button: For turning the unit on/off.
- AC ON/OFF Button: For enabling/disabling AC output.
- USB Ports: Two USB-A ports (one 5V/2.4A, one Quick Charger 3.0) and one USB-C port (PD 60W IN/OUT).
- 12V DC Output Port: A standard 12V DC output.
- AC Outlet: Rated at 110V, 160W MAX.
- INPUT Port: For charging the power station.
LED Light
The top panel includes an LED light with multiple modes (Light, SOS, Flashing).
Charging Your Product
⚠️ ATTENTION: If the ambient temperature is too high or the battery temperature is higher than 53°C due to continuous high-power discharge, the product cannot be charged. Charging will resume automatically when the battery temperature is less than 50°C.
1. LCD Battery Display
The battery level is indicated by 5 segments, representing approximately 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% capacity. Segments disappear as the charge depletes. During charging, a segment will blink; once fully charged, all segments will be solid.
2. Charge Through Solar Panel
Place the solar panel in direct sunlight and connect its output port to the power station's INPUT port using a DC5521 cable. Charging is indicated by blinking LCD indicators. Full charge is achieved when indicators become solid.
Notes: Charging efficiency varies with weather, sunlight strength, and panel angle. The solar panel's maximum output voltage should not exceed 22V. For optimal efficiency, use solar panels with an open circuit output voltage of 18-22V.
3. Charge Through AC Adapter
Plug the original AC adapter into the machine's DC INPUT port. Battery indicators will blink during charging. The product is fully charged when indicators stop blinking and remain solid. Unplug the adapter promptly after charging.
Notes:
- Charging typically takes about 8 hours with the original adapter.
- When charging via the INPUT port, the PD 60W port cannot output.
- Error E13 indicates over-temperature, under-voltage, or other abnormal protection. Charge or discharge until low-voltage shutdown to restore capacity display. A buzzer will alarm; press any key to cancel.
4. Charge Through Your Car
Plug the car charger into the 12V car's cigarette lighter socket and then into the power station's DC INPUT port. The car charger has a 10A protector tube. Charging is indicated by blinking battery indicators.
Notes: To prevent car battery drain, charge only when the car engine is started. This function is for 12V cars only.
Protection mode (DC input): Charging may not reach full capacity on all car models. Under-voltage protection prevents charging if the car's voltage is too low.
5. Charge by PD mode
Plug your PD charger into the PD 60W IN/OUT port.
Using Your Product
1. Buttons
- POWER Button: Long press for 3 seconds to turn the machine on. Short press to turn on the DC function.
- AC Button: Press to turn on AC function (AC icon appears on screen). Press again to turn off.
2. Light Modes
Press the LIGHT button to cycle through modes: Strong, SOS, Flash, and Off.
⚠️ Warning! DO NOT stare the light straightly!
3. USB Output Function
The USB-A ports provide 5V/2.4A and Quick Charger 3.0 (5V-3A, 3.6V~6V-3A, 6V~9V-2A, 9V~12V-1.5A). The USB-C port supports PD Input/Output (60W: 5V-3A, 9V-3A, 12V-3A, 15V-3A, 20V-3A).
When using both USB-A ports simultaneously, the total output is limited to 5V/3.8A.
4. DC Outputs
Two DC5521 (5.5mm diameter) 12V ports offer a maximum combined output of 10A. They automatically distribute current to connected devices for optimal charging time. Each port can power a cigarette lighter accessory (up to 100W).
Notes:
- If the total output current (AC, DC, USB) exceeds 24A for more than 3 minutes, the buzzer will alarm, and fault code E11 will display. If not cleared within 30 seconds, DC output will be forcibly turned off. Do not force it on again if turned off due to overload.
- DC output is forcibly closed if battery voltage drops below 11.2V and requires charging to resume.
Protection mode (DC outputs): Short circuit protection will cause beeping and stop charging.
5. AC Output
Plug the AC appliance's power cable into the AC outlet. Press the POWER button to enter AC mode. Ensure the appliance's power consumption is less than 160W.
Notes:
- The LCD screen backlight dims after 2 minutes of inactivity and the unit auto-shuts down when not working.
- AC output is forcibly closed if battery voltage drops below 11.2V and requires charging to resume.
- AC output automatically closes after 8 hours of inactivity. Turn off AC power when not in use.
Protection mode (AC output): Features undervoltage, overload, short circuit, and overtemperature protection for safety and reliability.
When overload, overtemperature, or short circuit occurs, the machine beeps, the AC icon flashes, and the unit auto-shuts down.

Output Type and Warranty
Modified Sine Wave Output
This product generates a modified sine wave, compatible with AC appliances working with sinusoidal waveform (power <160W). It is intended for emergency situations and cannot replace standard AC/DC power supplies for all household appliances or digital products. Appliances using AC motors may not operate at full capacity and may produce noise.
For long-term use or appliances with AC motors (e.g., refrigerators, microwaves, compressors) and delicate medical equipment, a pure sine wave inverter is recommended.
