1

All performance data is based on measurement at the connection for the charging cable on the sides of the 

fuel cell.   

2

The output power varies by ±10 % and decreases with the number of operating hours, depending on the 

installation situation and operating conditions.  

3

Actual consumption depends on the operating conditions and operating hours. 

4

The sound pressure level will vary and depends on different components and operating conditions.  

5

At temperatures over +35 °C (EFOY), the output power may be reduced. At temperatures under 0 °C, it may 

not always be possible to charge lithium batteries (LiFePO4). Observe the information from the battery 
manufacturer. 

 

All specifications obtained through testing under normal conditions. We reserve the 
right to make changes to the specifications.
