3. CHARGING YOUR GRENGINETM
PLEASE NOTE: BEFORE USING OR STORING, PLUG YOUR GRENGINETM INTO THE AN ELECTRONIC WALL SOCKET UNTIL IT IS FULLY
CHARGED. NEVER CHARGE YOUR GRENGINETM WITH SOLAR PANELS AND AN ELECTRONIC WALL SOCKET AT THE SAME TIME.
INSERT THE ANDERSON PLUG INTO THE #2 INPUT PLUG.
LCD BATTERY DISPLAY
The LCD Battery Display indicates the charge level. There are 5 segments
of the battery, approximating 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% capacity. During
use, segments will disappear from the display, indicating the remaining
capacity. When charging your GRENGINETM, you will notice a battery
segment blinking at a 1 second interval. This indicates the current charge
status and the number under INPUT shows the real-time charging power.
Once it is fully charged, all battery segments will be lit and remain solid.
3.1 CHARGING FROM SOLAR
1. Power on your GRENGINETM by pressing the
master power button for 2 seconds.
2. Place your solar panel where it will get as much
direct sunlight as possible.
3. Connect the solar panel with the solar charging
cable. Then, insert the Anderson plug into the
INPUT port on the left side of the GRENGINETM.
You will know the GRENGINETM is charging
when the number below INPUT on the LCD
screen changes and the battery segments on
the LCD BATTERY DISPLAY are blinking. The
GRENGINETM is fully charged when all battery
segments stop blinking and remain solid.
4. You can also connect the GRENGINETM to other
brands of solar panels using the Anderson port.
5. You can chain multiple solar panels together to
reduce solar recharge times. Your GRENGINETM
is capable of taking in 120W of solar charging
power. But the solar panel voltage should be
between 14V and 40V
6. NEVER charge your GRENGINETM with solar
panels and an electrical wall socket at the
same time.
7. Thanks to the built-in smart charging system,
your GRENGINETM will stop charging the battery
once the battery is fully charged.

4.5 STORAGE AND DOWNTIME MAINTENANCE
1. Please charge your GRENGINETM fully before storage and fully recharge your
GRENGINETM every 3 months. Store it in a cool, dry place.
2. If the system shuts down automatically because of lower battery capacity (10%), please
charge it as soon as possible.
3. Failure to maintain your GRENGINETM by following these steps can result in battery
damage, which will void the product warranty.
4.4 COLD WEATHER USAGE
Cold temperatures can impact the
GRENGINETM’s battery capacity. If
you will be living o-grid in sub-
zero conditions, your GRENGINETM
may drain power quickly. Never
charge your GRENGINETM in sub-
zero conditions, as doing so will
damage the lithium ion battery, and
the battery capacity may not be
recovered.
4.3 BEST-USE STRATEGY
When charging any gear with your GRENGINETM, take note of the LCD battery display.
If you plug in devices that drain high power (a refrigerator), the charge level of your
GRENGINETM can drop quickly and you may not fully generate 480Wh of energy.
Alternately, if you are recharging devices that draw power more slowly (e.g. a small
TV), you will generate closer to 480Wh from your GRENGINETM. If you are experiencing
shorter runtimes, you may want to check the device’s power requirements. See
TROUBLESHOOTING for help.
LOW TEMPERATURE CHARGING
PROTECTION:
In sub-zero conditions, the GRENGINETM
will stop charging automatically. It
will begin to function again when
temperature is over 5°C.
Low temperature discharging
protection: In -20°C weather, the
GRENGINETM will stop AC and DC
output and shut the product down in 15
seconds automatically. The system will
output again when the temperature is
over -15°C.

6. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT TYPE OF BATTERY IS IN MY GRENGINETM?
Your GRENGINETM uses a 11.1V 43Ah lithium ion battery
pack, similar in construction to a Tesla Motor EV battery cell.
Li-ion batteries are much smaller and lighter than lead-
acid batteries and also cycle much longer than lead acid
batteries, including specialty batteries like AGM and Gel
cells. You will get more life out of your Li-ion batteries if you
do not drain them completely.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY GRENGINETM IS CHARGED?
To check the charge level of your GRENGINETM, refer to
the LCD battery display. When lit up, you will see a battery
outline with five segments, indicating the current charge
level. You can turn on the battery display by pushing the
Master POWER button. It is OK to use your GRENGINETM
even when it is not fully charged.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY DEVICE WILL WORK WITH THE
GRENGINETM?
1. You will need to determine the amount of power your
device requires. This may require some research on your
end, but using a search engine or examining the user
guide for your device should suce.
2. You will need to check the capacity for the individual
output ports. For example, the AC port is powered by an
inverter that allows for 300 W of continuous power. This
means that if your device is drawing more than 300 W for
an extended period of time, the GRENGINETM’s inverter
will shut o.
3. Once you know your device is compatible, you will want
to determine how long you will be able to power your
gear from the GRENGINETM.
