WARNINGS & SAFETY INFORMATION
• Before installing a battery in the battery box, ensure that you have read through all relevant product
and safety information for that battery.
Do not strike, throw the battery box.
To connect with the terminals of the battery box, pull up the terminal lids gently. Excessive force may
cause damage to the lids.
Never connect positive (red) and negative (black) terminals of the battery box together. This will cause
the battery to short and create a fire hazard.
Do not insert foreign objects into the ports of the battery box as this may lead to electric shock.
Do not allow metal objects to fall into the battery box. This could cause a short circuit, and poses a risk
to the user.
Do not submerge the battery box in liquids.
Please note that the battery is not included in this purchase.
While working on the battery box please wear protective eyeglasses and clothing. Please wear insulating
gloves and provide necessary protection. Do not wear any metallic items such as watches, bracelets, etc.
Do not attach a battery to the battery box if it or your hands are currently exposed to moisture or rain.
Only use this product at temperature -20°C ~ +60°C (-4°F ~ +140°F).
When charging, adequate ventilation must be provided to dissipate heat and battery gases. Keep clear of
naked flames, sparks or conductive material while charging a battery.
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery box as this may result in electric shock, fire or explosion.
Any attempt to disassemble, perform unapproved repairs or make modifications to the battery box will
void the warranty.
Always use safe lifting techniques when lifting and installing the battery box.
The battery box is not intended to be installed or operated by people (including children) with reduced
physical or mental capabilities, or those who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Make sure that you attach the correct wires to the appropriate terminals of your battery; incorrect
installation could result in damage to the unit or voiding of the warranty.
Make sure wires from an externally connected device are tightened fully when connected to the battery
box terminals. A loose connection will increase electrical resistance and generate heat, and it may even
melt the battery box case.
Do not connect high power appliances like a hair dryer, iron, toaster, heater or kettle to the AC socket as
they greatly exceed the max power output of the inverter and may damage it.
If you charge a lithium-ion battery in battery box with your crank battery through a DCDC charger,
connect the DCDC charger with a grey Anderson plug instead of the red one on the battery box.
Otherwise, it may cause damage to the BMS.
The battery box has a fuse with current rating of 70A. Do not exceed the current rating, otherwise the fuse
will blow and must be replaced with a new one.
17.52"L (44.5cm) x 7.68"W (19.5cm)This battery box is only suitable for batteries with dimensions up to
x 9.84"H (25.0cm).
Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of the battery box (99.21lbs / 45kg).

Step 1: Pull the buckle and open the lid of the battery box.
Step 2: Place the battery in the battery box.
Step 3: Attach the eyelets from the battery box lid to the corresponding positive and negative terminals
on the battery. Make sure connections are fastened and tight.
Step 4: Close the lid and make sure the buckle is latched.
Long press the ON/OFF switch(DC) for 3 seconds to check the reading of the battery power and activate
the port/plug/socket.
Connect the device to the port/plug/socket and charging will begin.
Note:
① For a rechargeable battery, a solar panel (with PWM/MPPT controller) /external battery can be
connected to either grey or red Anderson plug to charge the battery.
② Please note that the red Anderson plug is for power input only. It is controlled by the voltage instead of
the switch.
When the voltage of the battery in the box is below 8V, it will not be charged with external power supply.
Please make sure the voltage of external power supply is higher than that of the battery in the box.
Otherwise, the battery in the box will reversely charge external power supply via the red Anderson plug.
Only when the voltage of external power supply is above 13V, it will charge the battery in the box.
When the voltage of external power supply decreases to 12.5V, charging will stop after 10 seconds.
