Frequently Asked Questions
What type of battery is in my Power Station?
Your Power Station uses a 10.8V/45ah lithium ion battery pack
comprised of 54 individual lithium ion cells. Each cell provides
2550mAh resulting in a total battery capacity of 500Wh
(137,700mAh).
The Power Station uses a nickel manganese cobalt (NMC)
lithium ion battery pack which provides superior extreme
temperature performance and more charge and discharge
cycles than standard lithium ion cells.
How many charge and discharge cycles can I expect?
Battery pack performance is highly variable and based
on many factors such as depth of discharge, temperature
during use, total discharge rate of the battery pack and how
frequently you charge your Power Station.
Determining how many cycles you can expect is not an exact
science but the battery pack is designed to be fully charged
and discharged up to 500 times and retain 80% of it’s original
capacity.
To prolong battery cycle life, it is best to frequently charge
your Power Station and avoid fully discharging it whenever
possible.
How long will the battery pack remain charged when not in
use?
All lithium ion cells have a self-discharge rate when in
storage. The exact rate of discharge depends on the age of
the battery pack, storage temperature, and other variables.
Under ideal conditions the battery pack will lose up to 5% per
month.
