Recharging Your Power Station

The power station can be recharged through multiple methods:

AC Recharging (1000W Max)

Connect the power station to a wall outlet using the provided AC charging cable. The maximum input power is 1000W.

UltraFast Recharging (1300W Max)

Enable the UltraFast feature in the Anker app to achieve a maximum recharge rate of 1300W via the AC charging cable. Note: Slower charging is recommended for battery longevity.

Solar Panel Recharging (600W Max)

Connect up to two solar panels (with XT-60 connectors) to the Solar / Car Input Port using the solar charging cable. The maximum solar input is 600W.

Car Recharging

Recharge the power station using a car's 12V output port with the car charging cable. The car charger output is 12V/10A.

Indicator: When the remaining battery is at 1%, a flickering indicator will appear on the LCD screen to signal the need for recharging.

Powering On / Off

Press and hold the Main Power Button (3) for 3 seconds to turn the power station on or off.

• Pressing the Main Power Button briefly turns the LCD screen on or off. The screen auto-dims after 30 seconds of inactivity.
• The power station will automatically shut down after 12 hours of inactivity (no loads, buttons off) to conserve power. This standby duration can be adjusted in the Anker app.

Powering Your Devices

Connect your devices to the appropriate ports:

AC Charging

Press the AC Outlet Button (6) to activate the AC Output Ports (7). Connect your devices to the AC outlets. The outlets have a smart identification feature that automatically turns them off if no device is detected for over 15 minutes, preventing power waste.

USB Charging

Connect devices to the USB-A and USB-C ports for charging. Ports support various fast-charging protocols (e.g., 100W USB-C, 30W USB-C, 5V/2.4A USB-A per port).

Car Socket Charging

Press the Car Socket Button (8) to activate the Car Socket (9). Connect your devices to start charging.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

The power station can function as a UPS. Connect it to a wall outlet via the AC charging cable, press the AC outlet button, and then connect your devices to the AC output ports. In case of a power outage, the power station will seamlessly switch to battery power with a transfer time of approximately 20ms.

SurgePad™

The SurgePad™ feature allows the power station to power high-wattage devices up to 2400W without overload. It automatically activates when the total output exceeds the rated output, enabling the delivery of rated power to demanding devices.

Limitations:

• SurgePad™ does not function during AC charging (bypass mode).
• It is best suited for devices that generate heat and may not support precision instruments or devices with strict voltage protection. Test compatibility with the last AC outlet.

Connecting with an Expansion Battery

The capacity can be doubled by connecting an Anker SOLIX BP1000 Expansion Battery (1056Wh). Refer to the BP1000 user manual for detailed instructions.

Anker App for Smart Control

FAQ

Q1: What is the maximum power output of the AC output ports?

The AC output ports can deliver a maximum of 1800W rated power to connected devices.

Q2: What should I do when using a solar charger to charge my power station?

The solar input supports an 11-60V solar charger with an XT-60 connector. For 11-32V chargers, the current is 10A max. For 32-60V chargers, the current is 12.5A max. Anker recommends using Anker solar panels (200W or 400W) for optimal compatibility.

Q3: Can the USB-C ports charge the power station (input only), or are they output only?

The USB-C ports support output only.

Q4: What should I do when AC recharging fails?

If AC recharging fails, check if the overload protection switch (13) is turned on. If it is, press it down to reset and then attempt recharging again.

Q5: How do I reset my power station?

For a factory reset, insert a paper clip or pin into the reset hole (4) for 1 second. If the issue persists, contact support@anker.com.

Q6: Why is the power station not working after it hasn't been used for a long time?

Lithium batteries can self-discharge over long periods, potentially leading to a low capacity state. This can affect conductivity and battery lifespan. To prevent this, follow storage and maintenance guidelines.

Q7: How should I store and maintain the power station?

When storing the power station, please make sure that you:

1. Turn off the main power button.
2. Store in a dry and cool environment.
3. Check the remaining battery capacity weekly. If below 30%, fully charge it. Charge to 100% every 3 months.
