Solar portable generator-- ECOBOXX160
Dimension（L×W×H）：206×112×240mm/5.0kg
Ecoboxx 160 is the solar portable generator, with built-in 12V/13Ah lead acid battery and 100W
modified sine wave inverter. The unit can supply the power to the 5V/12V equipment, such as
phone, Ipad, iPhone and lighting. The inverter (Max. power:100W) can power to small home
appliance, such as fan, small TV.
The unit is with undervoltage protection, overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, overload
protection and short circuit protection, also with the LED indicator accordingly, which can assure
the charging normally and safety use.
Note: Master power switch
There is the master power switch at the back of the unit, it
is the system power ON/OFF. We turn it OFF in ex-factory
to reduce the self consumption current so that you can
store for a long time.
Please turn it ON for charging or for output, or turn it OFF
when you don’t need to use it for a long time.

Front panel
1.1 LED indicator
1）Solar panel charging indicator(Green)
PV input voltage is 0.5V higher than the battery voltage, the LED will be ON (Solid green);
PV input voltage is between 28V ~ 39V, there will be overvoltage protection within two
minutes, the LED will be in slow blinking.
PV input voltage is ≤26.0V, the unit will exit the protection and restore to normal charging,
and the LED will stop blinking.
Over current protection (Max. 2.0 A, last about 3 seconds), the LED will be in quick blinking,
will restore 30 seconds later.
2）Battery level indicator(Green & Red - two colors )
RED: Battery very low, please recharge the unit
Flash Orange, battery low
Red/Green: half full
Green: half full to Full

3）Fault indicator(Red)
Any group of the loads is overloading, the Red LED will blink; Other group of loads will work
properly if no fault. It will restore within 30 seconds after adjusting the loads to the extent
provided.
If the load is short-circuit, the Red LED will blink, it will restore within 30 seconds.
Remark: If Red LED blink, please disconnect the loads; It can damage the units if loads
continuous failures.
1.2 Input/Output ports
1）Solar input port
PV input(Volt): 16～26V
PV input(Current): 2A(Max.), the unit is charging normally if the input current within 2A.
There is an alternative charging way with a constant current AC-DC adaptor, and the adapter
must meet the following requirements:
Constant current
Input Volt: 16V
Input Current: 2A(Max.)
2）DC output port (5mm DC jack)
The DC output port is for 12V lighting.
Output current: 1A (Max.)
Output DC jack x 2(Please refer to the pic of DC output jack on the front panel)
3）USB output port: 5V, 1.5A(Max.)
USB output x 2(Please refer to the pic of USB output port on the front panel)
4）12V Cigarette output port: 7.5A(Max.)
5）DC-AC Inverter output: 230V ac, 100W(Max.)
Max. power is 100W, 75W continuous
With overload, short circuit, overvoltage and undervoltage protection.

2.1 With built-in lead acid battery
The unit is built-in 12V, 13Ah lead acid battery.
The minimum charging voltage: ≥9VDC;
End of charging voltage: 14.4VDC;
Undervoltage protection: 10.5V dc & Restart voltage after the undervoltage protection: 12.5V dc
IMPORTANT: Read before use!
Before using Ecoboxx for the first time, give it a full charge; The best thing you can do for your
Ecoboxx is to leave it plugged in. If this is not possible, then recharge the unit at a minimum
every three months. Failure to follow this direction will shorten the life of the battery.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How long (in hours. approximately by average) for full charge energy by solar panel for
Ecoboxx 50,90,120 and 160 ?
Answer: Normally the panel we recommend or include in the kit is enough to recharge the battery
in one day of sunny day. If the day are mostly cloudy is recommended to double the panel
power.
Q: How long (in hours. approximately by average) for usage energy after we have completely full
charge by solar panel for every models?
Answer: The energy available for the Ecoboxx 50 is 50Wh, Ecoboxx 90 is 90 Wh and Ecoboxx
160 is 120 Wh and Ecoboxx 160 is 160Wh. Based on this you could calculate how many hours
you could run according to the consumption of the load connected. For example a 3 W LED light
can run for 16 hours with Ecoboxx 50, a small 14' TV with a average consumption of 40 W can
run for 2 hours with Ecoboxx 160. Always we recommend to check the power consumption of the
appliance you will connect to the Ecoboxx for the timing calculation.
Q: Which model is your most popular or best selling which I should order more than others?
Answer: The most popular item is Ecoboxx 160 & Ecoboxx 160 but if you just need to run some
lights and charge the phone even iPhone or iPad, Ecoboxx 50 and 90 are very good.
