CAR CHARGING:
The CAPTAIN 1200 can be charged with a car. It supports 12V car charging and takes about 14 hours to fully charge. Charge
using the car charger after you’ve started the car to avoid failure to start due to insufficient car battery. In addition, please make
sure that the Car Charging Input Port and the Car Charging Cable are in good condition. VIGORPOOL takes no responsibility for
any losses or damages caused by failure to follow instructions.

Solar Panel
SOLAR PANEL CHARGING:
Users can choose VIGORPOOL 400W solar panel, 200W solar panel or 100W solar panel to charge the CAPTAIN 1200. The DC
input voltage range is 12V-56V, the maximum current is 12A, and the maximum charging power is 400W. In full sunlight, the
CAPTAIN 1200 can be charged with two 200W solar panels, which will take about 5.5 hours to complete a full charge.
Please note: Parallel solar panel
cable needs to purchase additional.

3.5 Connect Two Captain 1200
Connect the parallel port of the CAPTAIN 1200 through the parallel cable
and turn the AC button on until the parallel graph on the LCD is lit, indicating
a successful parallel connection. AC output power provides up to 2400W
continuous output, using a capacity of up to 2560Wh. Users can use the AC
port on either product. Please avoid using load devices that exceed the
rated power of 2400W.
Please note: The parallel cable needs to purchase additional.
ELECTRIC GENERATOR CHARGING：
The CAPTAIN 1200 can be charged in about 2 hours using a traditional generator.

ELECTRIC GENERATOR
3.7 Notes on Boost
Traditional power stations will shut off if their continuous power output rate is exceeded. However, the CAPTAIN 1200 AC inverter
boost function can boost the power output from 1200W to 1800W without overload protection power failure. The device can
drive most resistive load under 1800W.
When using the Boost feature, please keep the following in mind:
(1) Pay special attention to the charging state.
(2) When using an appliance that requires between 1200W-1800W, only use that one appliance. Trying to run multiple AC devices
while using the boost feature could result in voltage fluctuations that could damage appliances over time.
(3) If the 1200W-1800W appliance you are attempting to power with the CAPTAIN 1200 exceeds the unit’s surge voltage limit of
2400W when starting the appliance, you may not be able to power that appliance.
3.6 Use of APP
You can view energy forecasting, state monitoring and estimation, and anomaly detection via the VIGORPOOL App. For more
details, please download it on the App Store or Google Play and check our official website to get the connect steps:

Uninterruptible Power Supply（UPS）
This product supports an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) function. The unit's battery will be bypassed while fully charged and
connected to the grid via AC charging cable. In other words, anything you plug into the AC ports will pull directly from the grid rather
than the battery. In a power outage, this product can automatically switch to the battery-powered mode within 10ms.
Note: This function does not support 0ms switching. Therefore, it is not recommended to be used a s a UPS for highly sensitive
equipment, such as data servers and workstations without confirming compatibility or proper testing before use. It is also recommend-
ed to only use the UPS function for one device at a time to avoid overload protection. VIGORPOOL assumes no responsibility and is
therefore not liable for data loss or damage caused by the use of this product in setups that it was not intended for and the disregard
of this recommendation
3.9 How to Store or Use
1. For long-term storage (more than 3 months), the battery needs to be maintained at 50% of the rated capacity (recharged once
every 3 months), stored in a dry and cool place and kept away from fire, heat sources, and corrosive substances.
2. To extend the life of the product, it's better to recharge the product before the power drops 15%.
3. The operating temperature of the VIGORPOOL power station is -10-40°C (14-104°F), and the storing temperature is -10-35°C
(14-95°F).

5. Frequently Asked Questions
1. What devices can VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 power?
A: VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 can power essential devices less than 1200W (or one device up to 1800W using the inverter
boost feature). The total wattage of devices being powered should be under 1200W unless using the inverter boost feature.
Please refer to your device specification before purchase.
2. What is the VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 power station lifespan?
A: The VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 uses lithium iron phosphate battery technology. After 3500 cycles of use, the VIGORPOOL
CAPTAIN 1200 power station's capacity will drop to 80%. Lifespan also depends on how the power station is used, maintained,
etc.
3. Is the VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 waterproof?
A: The VIGORPOOL captain 1200 is not waterproof, please stay away from water sources.

Batteries or battery packs must be recycled or disposed of properly. When this product has reached the end of
its useful life, it should not be disposed of with other household waste. The Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Regulations require it to be separately collected so that it can be treated using the best available
recovery and recycling techniques. This will minimize the impact on the environment and human health from soil
and water contamination by any hazardous substances, decrease the resources required to make new products
and avoid using up landfill space. Please do your part by keeping this product out of the municipal waste stream!
The “wheelie bin” symbol means that it should be collected as “waste electrical and electronic equipment”. You
can return an old product to your retailer when you buy a similar new one. For other options, please contact your
local council.
4. Can I use and charge my VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 simultaneously?
A: Yes, all of our products support pass-through charging. But we don't suggest using it this way very frequently as it will reduce
the battery life.
5. Can I take my VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 on a plane?
A: Unfortunately, you cannot. According to FAA regulations, any battery you take on board should not exceed 100Wh. External
chargers or power banks are also considered a battery. They should not surpass a capacity of 27000mAh, or in other words, 100Wh.
6. Is the VIGORPOOL equipped with an MPPT controller?
A: All VIGORPOOL models have an MPPT controller.
7. Can I use third-party solar panels to recharge my VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200?
A: We don't suggest using third-party solar panels because VIGORPOOL's warranty does not cover any damage caused by
third-party solar panels.
8. Can I jump-start a car using my VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200?
A: Our Captain 1200 can’t jump start a car, but it can charge the dead batteries of your car through a car charge cable.
9. How to determine if my VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 is charging?
A: The LCD display will show the remaining charging time when charging, and the battery percentage power indicator will start to
rotate.
