4. PRODUCT OPERATION
CHARGING THE CUBE
AC Charging
The intelligent fast-charging technology of Wagan supports an AC input power of 1000W.
The smart charging system will preferentially harness solar power whenever the Lithium Cube is
being recharged simultaneously by AC power and solar power.
e.g.
During simultaneous solar and AC charging, if the solar power is 300W, it will automatically
adjust the AC charging to 700W. If the solar power rises to 600W during the midday sun, the
Lithium Cube will drop the AC charging to 400W to make maximum use of solar power.
Please use the official Wagan cable for AC charging. Using the supplied AC Charging Cable,
plug one end of the cable into the AC Charging input port on the back of the Lithium Cube, then
plug the other end of the cable into an AC Wall outlet that supports a current of 10A or greater.
Wagan is not responsible for any damage caused by using an unofficial charging cable or
operating the product outside of specifications.
DC Charging
The DC charging cable is fused at 10 amps to prevent damage if there is an inadvertent short.
Users can charge the product through the cigarette lighter port. Be sure to start the vehicle
before using the DC Charging Cable to reduce the risk of depleting your vehicle’s battery.
To charge the Lithium Cube using the DC Charging Cable:
ONLY USE THE DC CHARGING CABLE SUPPLIED WITH THIS UNIT.
1. Note that the engine must be running while charging the Lithium Cube to avoid
discharging the vehicle’s battery.
2. Plug the DC charging cable into the Lithium Cube’s DC Anderson input port.
3. Plug the other end of the DC charging cable into the vehicle’s accessory socket
(cigarette lighter socket).
Solar Charging
The Lithium Cube’s DC input circuit is designed to maximize the charging profile based on the
available power supplied, whether charging by the AC charger or solar panels via the Anderson
port.
The Lithium Cube comes with a built-in 25A MPPT solar controller capable of charging up to
600W. Do not use solar panels with their own built-in solar controller. Wagan is not responsible
for any damage caused by using an unofficial charging cable.
1. To charge the Lithium Cube using a single solar panel, connect the solar panel using an
Anderson connector compatible with the one built into the unit. The charge status will
update on the display automatically.
