WARNING: THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A TOY. It will produce the same potentially lethal AC power
as your normal household outlet. TREAT THE PRODUCT WITH RESPECT AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Keep these instructions.
Pay careful attention to all warnings. The LifePower A2 is referred to as the Product.
Use caution while inserting an AC plug into the AC outlet: Keep your fingers clear of the outlet at

Product Overview
The LifePower A2 is a portable power supply unit that offers both an AC outlet and a DC USB output. It
stores energy that can be used to power and/or charge a wide variety of applications and devices at
any location you desire.
At the front you will find the two output ports:
The builtin AC outlet port accepts AC power plugs and is capable of powering all devices that
consume 120W or less. The technical specifications can be found on page 16.
The AC waveform is created by a method called Pulse Width Modulation and is therefore called “modified sine
wave” rather than a “pure sine wave”. It was designed however in a way so that it will act very similar to a standard
utility power outlet.
The USB output port will accept USB charging to power and or charge any USB powered device.
The USB and AC OUTPUT can work simultaneously.

The back side features two input ports to charge the A2 and one ON/OFF button:
On top of device there is an indicator strip that shows functionality modes and capacity.
Before using the A2, we assume that you have read all safety instructions preceding this introduction
and that you will read the operation instructions below. Upon arrival the A2 is partly charged. We
suggest that you fully charge it before using it the first time.
There are several safety features built-in:
Overload protection with automated shutdown and recovery.
Overheating protection with automated shutdown.
Non usage automated shutdown (when no load is detected, the product will auto-shutdown)
Output short circuit protection
Low voltage battery cut-off
Over current/voltage battery cut-off

Operation
Power Up
Always first plug in the device you wish to power or charge
BEFORE turning the A2 ON.
Turning ON the A2:
There is only one button, by pushing it once quickly ‘click’, the A2 will power on. By pressing and holding* it,
the A2 shuts down. It’s as simple as that!
If you wish to shut down the AC output, but keep the USB port activated, simply press the button twice quickly.
The green LED will fade but the blue capacity LEDs will still be lit, to indicate this state.
When no usage is detected after powered ON (no load) the blue capacity LEDs will fade after 10s and the A2
will automatically shut down after approx. 30s to conserve energy.
* For 3 seconds or longer. All LEDs will fade to indicate shutdown.
