Solutions for common issues and maintenance tips

Charging Problems

AC Recharging Fails

Problem: Unit does not charge when plugged into wall outlet

Solution:

  • Check that main switch is in ON position
  • Verify wall outlet is working with another device
  • Ensure AC power cord is securely connected
  • Check for damaged power cord
  • If problem persists, contact the installation company

Solar Charging Issues

Problem: Solar panel not charging the unit

Solution:

  • Verify solar panel voltage is within 10-60V range
  • Check solar panel connections are secure
  • Ensure solar panels are receiving adequate sunlight
  • Verify solar charge controller is functioning
  • Check for damaged solar cables

Power Output Problems

No Power Output

Problem: Connected devices not receiving power

Solution:

  • Check that main power switch is ON
  • Verify battery level is above 43 volts
  • Check that device power requirements don't exceed 3500W
  • Ensure connections are secure
  • Try a different outlet or USB port

USB Devices Not Charging

Problem: USB devices not charging or powering on

Solution:

  • Turn on the power switch
  • Try unplugging and plugging the USB cable again
  • Check USB cable for damage
  • Try a different USB port (USB-A or USB-C)
  • Verify device compatibility with output specifications

Battery Performance Issues

Unit Not Working After Long Storage

Problem: Power station won't turn on after extended storage

Cause: Lithium batteries may self-discharge when stored at low capacity

Solution:

  • Connect to AC power and attempt to charge
  • Leave plugged in for several hours to wake up battery
  • If no response, contact customer service

Prevention: Charge to 100% every 2-3 months during storage

Reduced Runtime

Problem: Battery doesn't last as long as expected

Solution:

  • Check connected device power consumption
  • Verify battery is fully charged (56.9V)
  • Consider temperature effects on battery capacity
  • Ensure unit is stored properly between uses

Cold Weather Operation

Reduced Performance in Cold

Problem: Battery capacity reduced in cold temperatures

Solution:

  • Store the unit in an insulated location when possible
  • Keep it connected to a power source - charging generates heat
  • Allow unit to warm up before heavy use
  • Operate within temperature range: 14°F to 131°F

Note: Cold temperature effects are normal for all lithium batteries. Performance will return to normal as temperature increases.

Emergency Situations

In Case of Damage

If you notice any damage to the unit:

  • Immediately turn off the main power switch
  • Disconnect all devices and power sources
  • Move the device outside the home if safe to do so
  • Contact the installation company for removal
  • Do not attempt to use or repair a damaged unit

WARNING: Do not open, disassemble, or attempt to service the unit yourself. Risk of explosion if damaged.
