INTRODUCTION:
This device generates electricity from sunlight, stores this energy in high-
performance batteries and provides it as 5V and 12V DC as well as 230V/115V
AC. It allows you to operate many common electric devices without access to
the public power grid.
Your device comes with our smart harvest technology. It makes use of almost
every single sun ray on the solar panels to charge the battery. It is for example
able to run refrigerators, TVs, lighting, computers, Hi-Fi, desk fans, air condi-
tioning, power tools, water pumps and many more appliances. You can operate
devices with an energy demand up to 1000 Watt combined, with a short peak
demand of up to 2000 Watt.
When the energy within the battery is being consumed, the sun rells it through
solar panels – without the need for gasoline, diesel or natural gas.
• Without noise, emissions or smell
• Without additional costs for fuel or electricity
The device can be adjusted towards your energy needs. You are able to in-
crease the number of solar panels (max. 800Wp/40A) and the battery capacity
(max. 80Ah LFP, equal to 4 batteries, 20Ah each) optionally as needed to
extend the amount of stored energy and decrease recharging time.
The device can be set up and used very easily. Possible user mistakes by
accident are largely covered. It comes with the following security mechanisms:
• Overcharge protection to secure the battery
• Discharge control to increase the battery life span
• Depth discharge alarm
• Overload alarm
• Protection against overheating and automatic shutdown in case of
overload or impending overheat
• Short-circuit protection up to 40A (not battery!)

UNDERSTANDING ARVEY
ARVEY is a great tool to provide you with high portable electric power. Let us
help you understand some basic principles so you can get the most out of your
ARVEY device.
Volt, Ampere and Watt
When using mobile energy systems, the three main units you will have to deal
with are the voltage (V), current (A) and power (W). Those are roughly the main
values that dene your electrical setup. They are dened by a lot of formulas
but more easily explained when comparing electricity to a water pipe. Volt is
your water pressure, the speed of ow. Ampere is the thickness of the pipe.
Together, both tell you how much water arrives at the end of the pipe at what
rate - your water “power”, Watt.
Example: Imagine an old water mill without water that requires a certain force
to spin the wheel. You can now a) shoot it with a high pressure re hose until
it spins, or b) place it in a wide, slow owing river. Both exert the same force
needed to spin the wheel, but the re hose is high pressure (voltage) and low
thickness (current), while the river is owing slowly but is very wide and deep.
Back to electricity, the electrical device we want to run would be the equivalent
to the water mill with a certain power required to run it.
The one most important formula:
W = V * A
Examples: How does that information help me?
When handling renewable energy sources (e.g. solar panels), those come with
varying voltages. Your device requires those to have a very specic voltage
range, or they will not work properly.
Some appliances state their required current (A) instead of the power (W)
requirements. Taking the voltage of the outlet into the calculation (5V, 12V
or 230V) you can now easily calculate the power requirements to see if your
device can operate the appliance.

source is properly connected, the Con-
nection Status Indicator switches from
Off to On.
When the energy source provides
enough energy to charge the device,

Understanding the device signals
Status indicator LEDs (4)
The status indicator LEDs provide
information about the AC inverter.
1) RED: AC error status indicator
This LED indicates an inverter Error
caused by too much load. Turn the AC
inverter off and disconnect all con-
nected electrical AC devices and make
sure the power requirements do not
exceed 1000 Watt in total.
To reset the device, turn the AC inverter
switch (2) off and on again.
2) ORANGE: Overheating indicator
This LED indicates an overheating of
the inverter over 60°C/140°F. Turn the
AC inverter off and disconnect all con-
nected electrical AC devices. Move the
device to a cool place and let the device
cool down.
Do not try to speed up the cooling
process by exposing the device to ice,
water or any other cooling aid.

Operating an AC driven appliance
1) Switch the AC inverter on by mov-
ing the inverter switch (2) to the ON
position.
ÎThe device will emit one beep
signal and perform a self
diagnosis check. If this check
is successful, the green inverter
indicator LED will light up.
ÎYour device is now ready to be
used.
2) Connect your AC driven
appliance (e.g. a computer
or television) to the AC
outlet (1).
3) Switch your AC operated appliance
on.
If your appliance fails to operate and
the red Inverter Error LED lights up,
please check the power requirement of
your appliance. If more than 1000W of
power are required, the appliance can
can require up to 5 times the listed
power demand.
The ARVEY A1-1K23024 can provide
a peak power of up to 2000W to
cover exactly those peak demands.
Devices that require a higher peak
power can not be operated.
Operating DC driven appliances
This device comes with the following
DC outlets:
Â5V USB outlet
Â12V 5.5mm plug outlet
Â12V Car-plug outlet
Activate the DC converter by pushing
the DC On/Off switch (b) on the device
topside.
The DC output indicator will switch to
indicate that DC is now available.
Should the battery voltage drop below
23.5 Volt, the DC outlets will be deacti-
vated automatically. They do, however,
reactivate automatically as soon as the
battery voltage reaches at least 25 Volt.
It is recommended to switch the DC
converter off after use to save battery.

To reset the inverter, please turn it Off
and On again using the inverter switch
(2).
After use
When the inverter is on, it consumes
a small amount of standby power.
Therefore it is recommended to switch
the inverter Off when not in use.
Wind-up power
Some electrical devices like electric
motors or compressors require
drastically more power to wind up
than is listed on the device. Those
ATTENTION!
Always make sure your device is
turned off before disconnecting
the battery breaker plug. Discon-
necting the battery under load can
create a dangerous electric arc.
Estimating power consumption
can be deceiving. While a large
65’’ LCD Television usually is
satised with 90-120W of power,
even small hair-dryers rarely
require less than 1200W of power.
As a general rule of thumb:
Heat requires an enormous
amount of power. Be aware!
i
USB Port
This USB-Port is a 2.1A output
port and can not be used as a
data connection. Do not connect
items like memory sticks or ash
drives to avoid damage to them.
What are AC and DC?
AC is short for alternating current.
It is the form of electricity usually
used to deliver power to houses,
ofce buildings, etc. Therefore
most household items run on AC.
DC, or direct current, is mainly
used to power portable lights or
appliances that often can be run
on batteries. Examples for this
would be smartphones, tablets,
ashlights, radios or camping
electronics. The most common
DC specications are 5V for USB
and 12V.

peratures below -10°C and above +45°C
can affect the battery lifetime and its
performance drastically and may cause
damage if exceeded.
Discharge Characteristics
Lithium-based batteries possess a very
distinctive discharge behaviour, that is
very different from common household
batteries.
While the discharge curve of normal
household batteries is more or less
linear, a lithium-based battery will rst
lose voltage very quickly and then stay
at a constant voltage range for most of
its capacity before dropping in charge
again suddenly:
Your battery will be fully charged at
29.2V, but will drop to 26.8V rather
quickly. This is normal and still means
the battery is fully charged.

Self Discharge
Lithium Batteries lose charge over time
because of physical processes. It will
take your battery about 6 months to
discharge on its own completely.
Depth Discharge
Should your battery get discharged
below a certain threshold, it will enter
Hibernation Mode in which it cuts off
all power supply and reduces its own
self discharge to an absolute minimum.
Should the battery get completely dis-
charged, the cells can be severely dam-
aged up to a point where the battery is
damaged beyond repair.
To circumvent this, make sure to always
recharge the battery at least every three
months and to disconnect the battery
breaker plug before extended storage
periods. Battery damage caused by
depletion is not covered by our warranty
policy.
Hibernation Mode
Should the battery get discharged
below 21.5 Volt, the Battery Manage-
ment System (BMS) within the battery
will disable all output terminals and
activate Hibernation Mode in which the
battery limits energy consumption to an
absolute minimum.
To wake the battery up from hiberna-
tion, recharge it using the grid charger
and disconnect the battery breaker
plug.
Battery Management System (BMS)
The BMS is a logic unit inside your
battery that is responsible for load and
charge balancing as well as maintaining
battery health.
The BMS is able to balance and manage
up to four connected batteries at the
same time.
Operating and Storage Temperature
Your lithium-based battery is best used
in environmental conditions in which
human beings feel comfortable. Tem-
Charging the battery

Battery Life Cycles
A battery life cycle is dened as
the number of complete charge to
discharge cycles the battery is able to
support before its capacity falls under
80% of its original capacity under labo-
ratory conditions. It is recommended to
recharge lithium-based batteries often
and to keep them charged as much as
possible to ensure a long battery life.

Charging multiple batteries
You can charge multiple batteries the
same way as you would a single bat-
tery. The increased capacity will also
multiply the required charging time by
the amount of batteries attached.
Charging from the grid
You can charge all batteries simultane-
ously with one grid charger, by connect-
ing the charger to any of the batteries’
grid charger ports.
Do not connect multiple grid chargers
to a battery stack. Only use one charger
instead.
Battery disposal
This symbol of a crossed-
out waste bin indicates
that these batteries
are underlying directive
2012/19/EU. This directive
states that these batteries may not be
disposed of in normal household waste
at the end of their life-cycle, but must
be brought to a specially designated
collection point, recycling depot or
disposal company.
This disposal is free of charge for the
user. Protect the environment and
dispose of this device properly.
You can obtain further information from

FAQ and Troubleshooting
What are the most important things to
keep in mind when using the device?
1) Use the device often
Because the battery unavoidably
discharges itself, putting it away for
several months without recharging it
will destroy the battery. This device and
its batteries will last the longest when
they are used and charged often. When
unused, make sure to always discon-
nect the battery breaker plug before
storing the device.
Accidental depth discharge due to non-
use and non-recharge is the reason for
95% of all reported battery defects.
2) Freezing the battery is bad
Lithium batteries should never be
exposed to temperatures below -10°C
for extended time periods.
3) Overheating the batteries is bad
As bad a freezing the battery is, over-
heating the battery over +50°C is just as
harmful for lithium batteries. So please
keep the device in the shadow and also
be careful when keeping the device in
the closed car during summer.
4) Short-circuiting the battery is bad
Never establish a conductive connec-
tion between the positive (red) and the
negative (black) battery terminals. Do-
ing so will lead to inevitable damage to
the battery cells and break the battery.
Can multiple appliances be connected
to the device?
While it is technically possible to con-
nect multiple appliances as long as
the combined consumption does not
exceed 1000W, we do not endorse this
and you will be doing so at your own
risk. Damages to the device resulting
from this kind of use are not covered by
our warranty policy.
Can I connect third party solar panels?
Using third party accessories which are
not specically approved by AXSOL is
done at your own risk and not covered
by our warranty policy.
Can I take this device on an airplane?
As of now, IATA regulations require you
to fulll very specic criteria to take this
device on board with you.
• the battery may need to be
discharged to 30%.
• the device needs to be packed
according to regulation UN3481,
PI 967 Section I.
• the packaging of the device needs
to be labeled accordingly.
Please contact your airline in advance
to avoid problems during check-in.
The display does not activate when
connecting the battery breaker plug.
Issue: The electronic unit is not supplied
with energy.
Solution: The battery is depleted. Im-
mediately recharge the battery either
by connecting a grid charger or a
renewable energy source. Make sure to
completely recharge the battery before
use.
When turning a connected appliance
on, the device emits a beep signal and
the red inverter error LED is activated.
Issue: The connected appliance requires
more than 1000W of power for more
than 3 seconds or more than 2000W
in peak.
Solution: To reset your device, switch
the inverter Off and On again. If pos-
sible, start operating your appliance on
a lower power setting.
All three colored LED are blinking.
Issue: The polarity of the connected
energy storage unit is wrong.
Solution: Immediately disconnect the
storage unit and contact customer
support.
A connected appliance does not wind
up smoothly, but stutters in the be-
ginning.
Issue: Peak power consuption exceeded
2000W briey.
Solution: This device supplies 2000W
for a very short time period. Should
more power be drawn by the appli-
ance, the device limits power output
to 2000W, then 1000W after a one
second. Some appliances that have an
electric motor require high peak power
very briey and then fall back to a
lesser consumption. The limited output
therefore only affects the windup phase,
which can lead to slower than usual
wind ups or stuttering.
My printer is not working with this
device.
Issue: Printers have very high peak
consumption, which can be 7 times the
nominal Wattage. This makes them a
very special appliance type that can
not be guaranteed to run on this device
without individual testing.
My renewable energy source is not
charging the battery.
Issue 1: The cable polarity is wrong.
Solution 1: Check the cable polarity.
Issue 2: The connecting cables between
the device and the energy source could
be broken.
Solution 2: Replace the connecting
cables if possible or connect a different
energy source.
Issue 3: The internal fuse could be
broken.
Solution 3: Contact your nearest certi-
ed ARVEY customer support.
