DC5521 Port
The PS300 features a DC5521 port for input, compatible with solar panels and car chargers.
AC Input
The unit can be charged via the included wall socket, providing 60W fast charging.
Overload Protection
The power station is equipped with overload protection to safeguard against excessive AC input current.
LCD Features
The LCD display provides information on remaining power and usage data.
Power Control
A short press of the AC, USB, or DC output button turns the unit on. A long press of the DC and USB output buttons together turns the unit off. When not in use, please turn the unit off.
USB Control Button
Make sure the power station is on before pressing the USB control button. Operation: short press to turn on/off.
The unit provides USB ports: two USB-A ports (one QC 3.0, one 5V/2.4A), and one USB-C port (100W).
DC Control Button
Make sure the power button is on before pressing the DC control button. Operation: short press to turn on/off.
The unit offers DC outputs: two DC Output ports (12V/3A each), one Cigarette Output port (12V/10A), and one XT60 port (12V/25A).
LCD Screen Display
Informative LCD display presents the remaining power and use data. The LCD display will enter sleep mode after 30 seconds of inactivity and wake up when inputting charge or when any button is pressed. The device will remain active and won't enter sleep mode if it is either charging or discharging.
Air Intake/Outlet (Built-in Cooling Fan)
The PS300 utilises an internal cooling fan to ensure it operates within the appropriate temperature range. When the PS300 experiences a high output/input, it automatically turns on the fan. The fan may turn on intermittently to keep the temperatures within the operating range. Please ensure you do not block or cover the vents.
AC 240V Output and Inputs
AC 240V Output Button
To activate the AC output function, simply press the AC button. Keep in mind that AC output frequency and voltage may vary depending on your location. If you need to adjust these settings, follow these steps:
- Press and hold the AC button for 3 seconds to enter the frequency switching mode. You'll notice that the 50Hz or 60Hz icon will start flashing on the display.
- Give the AC button a short press again to select between 50Hz or 60Hz. Wait until the flashing icon stops and displays your chosen frequency (either 50Hz or 60Hz), which indicates a successful switch.
- To adjust the voltage, quickly press the AC button 10 times. This will allow you to cycle through available voltage options.
By following these steps, you can easily customise the AC output frequency and voltage to suit your specific needs.
DC5521 Port (Solar/Car Input)
Use the included DC5521 to 50A Anderson adapter to connect your solar panel. The maximum input of the solar panels is 80W and the maximum voltage is 30V (do not exceed 30V). The cable supplied has a maximum rating of 50 amps; be sure to not to exceed this limit unless you've upgraded the cable.
WARNING: The DC5521 is an INPUT ONLY port.
AC Input
Use the included wall socket to get 60W fast charging, which can fully charge the PS300 from 0 to 100% in 5 hours. To charge your PS300 in 2 hours, simultaneously connect the 100W USB-C while the unit has 60W AC input.
Overload Protection and LCD Features
Overload Protection
To safeguard the power station from potential damage resulting from excessive AC input current due to lightning or grid fluctuations, the overload protector is designed to activate and disconnect the AC input in such situations.
If the overload protector has been triggered, and you need to restore the AC input, please follow these instructions:
- First, ensure that the PS300 is turned off, and unplug all connected devices and ports from it.
- Confirm that all connected ports are in their standard, normal state.
- Now, you can turn on the PS300.

2. Charging
Solar Panel Charging
Do not charge the PS300 via a solar panel that has a voltage exceeding 30V. Supports 80W max solar input (solar panels not included); the charging time depends on the solar panel input. To ensure proper operation, please verify that there is no regulator in the line. You will need to input unregulated solar power into the PS300 as it already contains a built-in regulator.
Connecting Pattern 1
The Area of Charging: Diagram shows the PS300 connected to a DC 5521 port via a 50A Anderson to DC5521 adapter, which is then connected to a solar panel.
AC Charger Charging
Use the AC charger provided to charge this unit. It will only require 5 hours to fully charge the PS300.
Car/Vehicle Charging
It's important to use the car charger that was provided with the unit for charging. Car chargers usually provide lower power outputs, typically around 90-120 watts. As a result, charging times may be extended. If you require a quicker charge, it is recommended to use the AC adapter that came with the device in combination with a USB-C cable. This will provide a 160W charge rate which is better suited for fast charging.
