Getting Started
Before using your SHERPA power pack for the first time,
activate your warranty and charge your SHERPA fully by
following these simple steps.
1. Activate your warranty by registering your GOALØ gear
at http://www.goal0.com/warranty
2. Charge your SHERPA 120 for 8 hours prior to first use.
3. The SHERPA’s LCD battery indicator will scroll when
receiving a charge. Note: You do not need to turn the
SHERPA ON to charge it.
4. The SHERPA has a full charge when the power monitor
reaches 100% and stops scrolling.
You are now ready to take your SHERPA and go!
Hint: Your SHERPA will perform better by using it
regularly. Recharging after each use will maximize
performance and extend its life. We strongly recommend
that you recharge your SHERPA after each use. The
SHERPA will not overcharge.
Prolong the life of your GOALØ gear and prevent injury to
yourself and others by being mindful of these warnings.
PROTECT your gear by using it and charging it frequently
to extend its life.
PROTECT your gear from getting wet. Dry before use.

CHARGE YOUR SHERPA
You can charge your SHERPA in 3 ways:
wall, GOALØ solar gear, or 12V boat and
car.
POWER MONITOR
Check the LCD screen to see how
much power you have.
DC POWERED
Use this 12 Volt output
port with the accessory
car adapter to charge
your Estrella light or
other devices.
USB POWERED
This port is perfect for the
adventurer that travels light.
Use the USB port and your
USB cable to charge your
handheld devices.
TURN IT ON
To charge your handheld
devices simply push the
power button to turn the
SHERPA ON.
NOTE: It is not necessary
to turn on the SHERPA
when recharging a single
SHERPA power pack.

...continued
LET IT HANG
Metal brackets let you hang or secure
your SHERPA virtually anywhere.
FUSE PROTECTED
We’ve added fuses
to protect your
SHERPA and the
devices you charge.
CHAINING CABLE
Connect multiple
SHERPA power packs or
SHERPA UI (Universal
Inverter) with this cable to
get more power.
CHAIN IT UP
When connecting to another
SHERPA plug the chaining cable
into this port. When charging
chained SHERPA’s you must
have each SHERPA turned on.

Questions you may have...
Q- How much will the SHERPA power?
A- Your SHERPA 120 contains a 120 watt hour battery
which means it would power a 50 watt light bulb for 2.5
hour or a 25 watt light bulb for 4.5 hours.
Q- How long does it take to charge the SHERPA?
A-From the wall it will take 2.5 to 3 hours. From GOALØ
solar gear refer to the TruWatt reference guide for general
guidelines.
Q- Is my SHERPA waterproof?
A-It is weather resistant. If your SHERPA does get wet,
allow it to dry completely before you use it.
Q- Does the SHERPA have “battery” memory?
A-No. Older battery technologies used to suffer from
memory problems. The SHERPA’s technology is smart and
prevents memory challenges of old.
Q- Will my SHERPA “burn-out” if plugged in too long?
A-Keeping the SHERPA plugged in actually improves the
life of the SHERPA. Just like your body-staying active
improves its health.
Q- What do I do if it looks like the SHERPA won’t charge?
A-After 30 hrs of none use, the SHERPA will automatically
go to sleep to conserve power and shut the power
monitor’s LCD screen off. After 100 hours of non-use the
SHERPA will hibernate. In both instances, when you next
use the SHERPA it may appear that stored power is close
to empty. In both cases simply plug the SHERPA into its
accessory wall charger for a minimum of 15 minutes to
wake it up.

...continued
Q- What should I do if the SHERPA won’t “wake-up?”
A- If the LCD screen odes not turn on first try to charge
the SHERPA for 15 minutes. If it still won’t turn on call
1-888-794-6250 and speak with a GOALØ gear
specialist.
Q- Is the SHERPA’s battery technology eco-friendly?
A-Yes. In fact, the SHERPA has been purposely designed
with recycled and recycle-able materials. The internal
battery is a lithium iron phosphate battery which is
nontoxic and the most environmentally friendly and is
primarily composed of water. You can actually drink the
stuff - but, we don’t recommend it!
Q- How does the SHERPA do in extreme temperatures?
A-The SHERPA performs very well within -4 F to 100 F.
We are talking electronics here so if your using the
SHERPA in the heat of the Sahara Desert or while dodging
polar icecaps in Antarctica you will want to keep it
protected.
Q- How do I power regular AC outlet devices?
A-For AC devices you will need the SHERPA UI (universal
inverter). Remember that the SHERPA was designed for
ultra portability - handheld devices. When used with the
SHERPA UI you can produce 110 or 220 volts with a 100
watt max output.
