electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. There are
ground terminals on the panel of this product. The ground
terminal must be connected to the ground reliably with a
ground conductor.
Surge Protection
Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable
appliances use components that are designed to operate within a
narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage
fluctuations. While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations,
you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
–Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors on the
outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles.
They’re designed to protect against virtually all short-duration
voltage fluctuations.
Operation at High Altitude
WARNING
Do not use at altitude above 1219 ft. (4000 m).
The density of air at higher altitudes is lower than at sea level.
The increase of higher altitudes causes the battery to ignite faster,
while the mass loss, heat release rate and total heat release for
batteries decrease at low pressure, thereby experiencing faster
internal battery arcing, and greater energy consumption with the
higher altitudes and thinner atmospheres.

3. Hold down the overload reset button of the POWER STATION.
While holding down the button, press the On/Off button of the
POWER STATION two times.
4. The LED light on the POWER STATION will illuminate, then
flash 3 times (if LED light does not turn on or flash 3 times,
repeat steps 2 and 3, making sure no other Expansion
Batteries are connected during the pairing process).
5. To pair additional Expansion Batteries, repeat steps 1-4.
Charging From Wall
CAUTION
Do not charge Expansion Battery or Power Station while
they are connected to each other. Doing so will cause a fault
condition. If fault occurs, disconnect Expansion Batteries from
Power Station and charge each individually.
NOTICE
The Expansion Battery must be fully charged every 180 days
when in storage, to keep the internal battery in good operating
condition.
1. Plug the AC Charging Cable into the AC input port on the back
of the charging module.
2. Plug the other end into a standard wall outlet.
3. Connect charging module to Expansion Battery.

Using Included Easy Connect DC Solar
Charge Harness
(For solar panels with MC4 connector)
NOTICE
The Power Station’s charging wattage is rated at 440W.
However, depending on environmental conditions and solar
panel efficiency, often times it will be necessary to use more
than 440W of solar panels to achieve actual 440W of charging
energy. Adding more than 440W of solar panels will not
damage the battery.
The charging power and rate is reduced as the battery level
gets closer to 100% to safely charge the internal battery.
It is important to adjust your solar panels to face the sun as
best as possible throughout the day to achieve maximum
charging efficiency.
For example, on a cloudy day, three 150W (450W total) rated
solar panels may only produce 250-350W of charging power.
It may be necessary, and will not harm your Power Station to
add more solar panels to the harness until you reach 440W of
charging power.
1. Connect the APP end of the Easy Connect DC Solar Charge
Harness (included) to the APP input port on the back of the
charging module.
2. Connect up to three solar panels using the MC4 connectors.
3. If not using all 3 connections, you can remove any spare
connectors and store in a safe and dry location.
4. Connect charging module to Expansion Battery.
Recommended Solar Panels
NOTICE
Often times it will be necessary to use more than 440W of
solar panels to achieve actual 440W of charging energy.
Adding more than 440W of solar panels will not damage the
battery.
Always use panels with the same nominal voltage rating when
using multiple solar panels.

Any solar panel rated between 10-28V with MC4 or APP
connectors can be used. The Expansion battery’s charging module
has a built in MPPT so there is no need to buy an external charge
controller, inverter, or worry about connecting more than 440W of
solar panels to reach 440W of input on cloudy days.
Using APP Port
(For Solar Panels with APP connector)
1. Connect the solar panel to the APP input port on the back of
the Charging Module. Be sure to connect the red lead to red
side of port and black lead to black side of port.
2. Connect charging module to Expansion Battery.
OPERATION
Using the Expansion Battery
NOTICE
When one or more Expansion Batteries are connected to a
Power Station the Expansion Batteries or Power Station with
the highest remaining battery level will discharge first until
the remaining battery level is equal among all connected
Expansion Batteries and Power Station. Once all remaining
battery levels are the same, they will begin discharging at the
same rate.
–Once paired, the Expansion Batteries can be unplugged
from the Power Station or each other and remain paired until
manually unpaired.
–The Expansion Batteries can be chained with the paired Power
Station in any order.
CAUTION
Do not charge Expansion Battery or Power Station while
they are connected to each other. Doing so will cause a fault
condition. If fault occurs, disconnect Expansion Battery from
Power Station and charge each individually.
–An Expansion Battery can be stacked on top of Power Station
to save space.
–To stack mutliple Expansion Batteries, a stack adapter
(PN SS11372) is needed. Contact customer service to receive
your adapters free of charge.
–Once received, snap the adapters onto the Expansion Battery
handles, then place another Expansion Battery on top of the
adapters. Make sure the feet of the top Expansion Battery are
firmly seated in the adapter holes.
