Charge many types of devices
The power unit can power many types of devices, such as lights, mobile phones, laptops, and radios.
The total number of devices that the power unit can FKDUJH depends on the energy consumption of
each device. Energy consumption is measured in watts (W). The unit can supply electric power to
PXOWLSOHGHYLFHVWKDWUHTXLUHDWRWDORIXSWR:RIHQHUJ\
Power supply duration
The duration of power supply depends on the energy consumption or watt usage of all connected
devices. Lower total energy consumption will permit the power unit to supply power for more time.
Here is a guideline for estimating the run time of a device: Watt Hours / Watts = Estimated Run Time.
For example, if the device you want to power uses 36W and the power unit has 832Wh then the
estimated run time would be 832 / 36 = 23.1 hours.
Automatic shutoff
When all connected devices are no longer drawing power, the power unit will automatically turn off to
conserve energy.

What is the Safari ME?
What does the Safari ME power?
Can it be used to store solar power orsolarenergy?
Howlongcan the Safari ME hold a charge?
Why should I buy the Safari ME?
Howcan you figure out how long the Safari ME will power specific
devices?
The Safari ME is the latest in Lithium battery technology for portable power needs.
It replaces traditional noisy gas generators with the safest Lithium batteries on the
market today. It is a light weight for the amount of power it has. Think of it as a safe,
silent, renewable generator and without the need for gas, pollution or all that weight.
You can use it to power a wide variety of devices like cell phones, laptops, tablets
refrigerators, freezers, TVs, lights, hot plates or grills, power tools, and the list goes on.
Virtually any device you can plug into a standard wall outlet, the Safari ME can power it.
The Safari ME is a great energy storage unit for solar power from solar panels. It can
store 922Wh (watt hrs) of energy.
It will maintain its charge for up to a year without having to charge it. This is known
as shelf life or storage life. However, we recommend using it more frequently, so it is
the house, outside, on adventures and ready for emergencies.
The Safari ME is made from the highest quality and longest lasting battery technology
– Lithium. The Safari ME is safe, silent and renewable, unlike gas-powered generators.
The ME gives your power anywhere, anytime.
The ME has a continuous 2000W of power output (watts of power output) and over
900Wh (922 watt hours) of stored energy. That means you can power devices that
require up to 2000W of power for various periods of time. To calculate how long the
ME can power a device, use this formula: Wh / W = Estimated Run Time. For example,
if the device requires 50W of power and the ME has 922Wh then the device can be
powered for approximately 18.5 hours (922 / 50 = 18.44)
FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
BASICS

07. What are the top benefits of the Safari ME?
There is a lot to love about the Safari ME:
• Renewable Solar Generator
• Environmentally Friendly
• Faster Charge Time
• Expandable for More Energy
• Power Almost Anything
• Power Pass Through
• Easy to Transport
You can use the power of the sun to fully recharge the ME in as little as 95 mins so
you can use power without running out of power.
If you care about the environment, the ME produces zero emissions and has no
carbon footprint during use.
If you prefer to recharge it from a wall outlet, it only takes just over 80 mins to
recharge… completely from empty to full!
If you need more stored energy, you can expand the ME capacity by adding the
optional expansion pack called the Safari ME-XP and that gives you 3x the stored
energy as the ME alone. That means you can use it 3x longer on a single charge
with the ME and the XP combined.
Because it has so much power and multiple output types such as AC, USB or 12V,
virtually anything you can plug into a standard wall outlet, the Safari ME can power.
It has an initial 4000W Surge for that extra power you may need.
It has a pass through power mode, meaning you can charge it while using it and
once it’s fully charged, you can leave it plugged in to its charging source (the sun or
wall outlet) and the power passes through it and it doesn’t have to use the energy
that is stored in it.
It’s easy to move from place to place because it’s light weight compared to other
generators in its size and it has convenient carrying handles built right in.
08. What is the Safari ME-XP?
The Safari ME-XP is an optional expansion battery for the Safari ME. It plugs into the
back of the ME and gives you 3x the stored energy than the ME alone (922Wh for the
ME + 2048Wh for the XP = 2970Wh). The XP must be used with the ME. The XP gives
you more stored energy that works with the ME.
