Charging

Green energy first: We advocate using green energy as a priority. Before using or storing the Power Station, plug your Power Station into the wall socket until it is fully charged. When the Power Station is fully charged, all four battery charging lights will be solid green and the LCD digital display will show 100%. If the LCD shows that the battery capacity is less than 20%, connect the Power Station to a power source such as a wall socket or solar panel as soon as possible.

Notes:

• For optional or dual charging, the Power Station can also be charged via the USB-C PD port using a USB-C charging adapter (not included).
• The Power Station can also be charged via a solar panel (not included) and car charger (not included).
• The Power Station can be charged and discharged at the same time.

There are five ways to charge your Power Station:

• Charging via the power socket (90.0 W)
  Charging time approx. 6.0 hours.
  Use the mains cable included in the delivery.
• Charging via a solar panel (100.0 W / optional)
  Charging time approx. 6.5 hours (depending on weather conditions).
• Charging via solar / solar generator connection (optionally available)
  With solar/solar generators and their adapters, two or three solar panels can be connected in series. To ensure that the solar panel can produce the maximum power, make sure that you use the same type of solar panel type when connecting them in series.
• Charging in the car
  Charging time approx. 4.5 hours.
  This product can be charged via the 12 V car connection. Start the vehicle before charging to prevent the car battery from discharging and your vehicle from not starting.
  In the meantime, make sure that the car charger and the cigarette lighter in the car make a good connection and make sure that the car charger is fully plugged in. Also, when the car is driving on bumpy roads, it is forbidden to use the car charger as it may burn out due to a bad connection. Rollei GmbH & Co.
