16
10. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
1. What type of battery is in my KODAK PPS100 Pro?
KODAK PPS100 Pro contains a 88.8Wh lithium ion battery pack. Lithium ion batteries are much smaller
and lighter than normal lead-acid batteries and also can be cycled many more times.
2. How do I know if my KODAK PPS100 Pro is charged?
To check the charge level of your KODAK PPS100 Pro, refer to the battery indicator. The number of bars
you see indicates the remaining power. KODAK PPS100 Pro can be used until it is empty but we recom-
mend to recharge when the level is at one bar.
3. Can I charge the KODAK PPS100 Pro while supplying power at the same time?
Yes. All outputs support simultaneous charging and discharging. Please note, however, that this only
makes sense with a remaining battery capacity of more than 10%. Please also be aware, that if the battery
voltage is less than 13V, the inverter will shut down due to battery cell protection.
4. Can I take my KODAK PPS100 Pro on a plane?
Yes, it is possible to carry the KODAK PPS100 Pro in your hand luggage. But please always check the
individual restrictions of your airline and your country. However, keeping the KODAK PPS100 Pro in the
checked baggage is not permitted for safety reasons as it contains lithium ion batteries.
ATTENTION
The unit provides Modiied Sine Wave output, and can be compatible to AC electric appliances that
work with sinusoidal waveform (power <80W).
However, anything that uses an AC motor isn‘t going to work to full capacity on a modiied sine wave,
such as an electrical fan. It will even make the electric appliance arouse some noise.
Appliances like refrigerators, microwaves, and compressors that use AC motors and some delicate
medical equipment should use a product with a pure sine wave inverter.
This product is only used for emergency, it cannot replace the normal alternating current, for long-
term use, please adapts the power station speciication required by electrical appliances.
KODAK PPS100 Pro is not suitable for use with a device with an electric motor.

4. Failure
Failure to maintain your KODAK PPS100 Pro by following these steps can result in battery damage which
will void the product warranty.
Charge, supply current between -10 and 40°C (14 -104 °F). Store between -10 and 40°C (14 -104 °F).
Using the battery at temperatures outside the lower and upper limits reduces the battery‘s running time.
Do not connect a continuous load of more than 80 W.
The unit‘s output stops automatically in case of overloading, since it reduces the running time of the
battery.
Do not continue to charge the battery after it has charged completely.
Pay attention to the indicated capacity. Do not charge the battery once it has been fully charged or the
charging process has been concluded. Otherwise the service life of the lithium battery may be reduced.
Switch o the unit if it is not being used.
Unnecessary power consumption also reduces the running time of the lithium battery.
Fully charge the battery prior to placing it in storage.
Fully charge the power supply unit prior to lengthy periods of non-use for storage and recharge the unit
at least once a year. After prolonged storage, it may be necessary to charge and discharge the battery
