Simultaneous Charge Inputs; Pass-Through Charging; Parallel Connection - Generac Power Systems GB1000 Owner's Manual

NOTE: Confirm the solar panel is compatible
with the power station before connecting the
solar panel. Power stations support 10-
28VDC, 30A max, up to 468W of solar input.
Solar panels not meeting these requirements
may damage the power station.
Figure 3-2. Solar Charging
3. See Figure 3-3. Car Charging - Insert DC
charging cord from the car power supply
into the DC charger port.
NOTE: Car charging the power station will
drain the vehicles battery. It is recommended
to only charge the power station while the
vehicle is running to prevent depletion of the
vehicle's battery.
NOTE: Always disconnect the power station
when the vehicle is turned off.

Simultaneous Charge Inputs

Power Stations are compatible with simultane-
ous AC and DC charge inputs (example: solar
+ generator).
The charging input reference guide provides
suggested charge input power range.
NOTE: Exceeding suggested charge input
power can reduce battery life.

charging and discharging of the battery during
operation.
NOTE: This device is not designed to be used
as a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply).
NOTE: Pass-through charging can reduce
battery life.

Parallel Connection

WARNING
Injury and equipment damage. The use of non-Generac
equipment could result in unit damage, death or serious
injury.
• The rated power of equipment should not
exceed the total rated power of parallel
products.
• Only use with compatible Power Stations
and Generac Portable Inverter Generators.
See parallel kit manual for complete list of
compatible devices.
• The use of non-Generac equipment could
cause unit damage or personal injury.
• Connect parallel devices before turning the
power ON.
• Turn the power OFF before disconnecting
parallel devices.
Paralleling two Power Stations provides
almost twice the power.
1. See Figure 3-4. Insert the parallel plugs
from the parallel box into the Power Sta-
tions.
2. Press ON/OFF button on the Power Sta-
tions.
3. Press AC button on the Power Stations.
4. Plug electrical equipment into the AC out-
lets. Turn ON equipment.
NOTE: If a fault occurs, the AC power will turn
off and the fault light will flash for 10 seconds.
NOTE: AC and DC Power Station outlets can
be used at the same time as the parallel kit
although output is limited to the Power Sta-
tion's rating.
