Welcome
Thank you for purchasing and using this portable solar power generation and energy storage device. The product combines solar power generation technology, energy storage technology (real-time management of charging and discharging through mobile apps) to achieve mobile and off-grid applications of solar energy and energy storage products, providing more convenience and possibilities for our daily lives. We sincerely hope that before you embark on your journey of off-grid electricity use, you will carefully read this manual or at least read the following usage instructions (in addition, please also keep this manual properly for future use).
Notice Before Use
- Before outdoor use, please ensure that the remaining power of the system is not too low. The electrical energy consumed by the appliances first comes from the battery pack inside the system rather than the external solar panels. (Solar cells need sufficient sunlight to effectively convert light energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery pack for later use.)
- Before using it for the first time, we suggest that you connect the mains power to fully charge the product before using it. (In addition, the battery pack will experience temperature rise during the charging and discharging process. It is necessary to ensure good ventilation in the usage environment to assist in heat dissipation, and to keep away from all combustible or potentially combustible materials or conductor materials.)
- Compared to common maintenance-free lead-acid batteries, the system uses lithium batteries with higher specific capacity and lower self-discharge rate, but they have relatively high requirements for usage and storage environment. Please be sure to use and store in the designated environment. Improper usage habits may shorten the service life of the product. Suggested usage and storage temperature: 0~+40 (°C)/32~104 (°F).
- Before providing emergency power to household appliances through mains power, please make sure that the rated power of your household appliances does not exceed 1500W and the surge power does not exceed 3000W (some household appliances require high-power support during startup, and the instantaneous power during startup may be three times their rated working power. If customers have any questions, they can refer to the product manual or consult your product dealer, and they can generally get a proper answer.)
- Different countries have different indoor electricity standards (US/JP 110V 60Hz or EU/UK/CN 230V AU 240V 50Hz). To avoid being unable to use, please choose the appropriate version according to the local electricity standards.

Solar Charging Factors
The charging effect of solar energy is closely related to factors such as solar module power, light intensity, and sunlight incidence angle. ☀️
Reminder: During the charging process, please turn off the laptop ? to reduce screen power consumption. The laptop battery can store full charge faster.
Optimal Lighting Time: Choose the period 2-3 hours before and after noon each day. More abundant sunlight and thinner clouds/mist bring the solar panel output closer to its theoretical peak power.
Optimal Angle of Sunlight Incidence: The inclination angle between the solar panel and the ground should be between 30-60 degrees. Install the solar panel as far south as possible to maximize solar radiation.
Avoid Obstructions: Regularly inspect photovoltaic modules and remove potential obstructions like trees or accumulated dust. Even minor obstructions can significantly reduce power output.
Seasonal Variation: Light radiation varies seasonally, but photoelectric conversion efficiency depends more on light intensity than temperature. Cold winter weather has a relatively limited impact on temporary charging effects.
How to Supply Power to Other Electrical Appliances and Loads
The power station offers various output ports:
- 2x USB-A Output: For smartphones, mobile power supplies, small USB fans, and other USB-powered devices.
- 2x USB-C Output: Supports PD fast charging protocol for devices like smartphones and mobile ultrabooks, with power transfer up to 100W.
- 1x DC 13V Output: For 12V LED lights and other small 12V devices. If a DC5525 charging adapter is not included, please contact for purchase. Single port output is up to 13V5A.
- 4x AC Output: For AC household appliances, laptops, etc. Ensure the rated power of your appliances does not exceed 1500W and surge power does not exceed 3000W. The AC output ports have short-circuit protection ⚡, but avoid liquids or moisture to prevent internal short circuits.
- 12V Car Cigarette Lighter Output: For mini car refrigerators ?? and other 12V devices. This port has short-circuit protection ⚡. Use the dust plug for protection when not in use.
Important Notes:
- Before use, verify that the rated working voltage of your electrical appliances matches the output voltage of the system's ports. For AC output, check for the risk of overload.
- For safety, when using USB AC output, press the control button to turn on the output mode. The LCD screen will light up and display the total output power.
- After each output is completed, press the control button to exit the output mode to save energy, and then remove the electrical appliances. Remember to short press the control key to exit the AC output mode specifically.
Powering Loads with Different Rated Powers
When powering loads with different rated powers, you may notice:
If the load power is high (e.g., a small refrigerator ?), the battery drains quickly, and the actual total energy consumption is close to the nominal battery energy. However, when using a lower power consumer, the actual total energy consumption may differ significantly from the nominal battery energy, and the battery life might appear shorter than theoretically calculated. This is primarily due to the device's self-consumption power, which becomes more noticeable relative to lower consumer power draw.
