DO NOT connect the output socket to mains power
under any circumstances.
DO NOT expose to moisture or liquids, especially
saltwater.
Dispose of the unit properly according to local
regulations.
DO NOT dispose in regular household trash.
DO NOT operate the unit above the specified input
voltage, be especially careful with solar panels.
DO NOT use this unit if your hands are wet.
DO NOT use if the unit appears damaged.
This product IS NOT permitted on aircraft.
Inspect the unit prior to every use.
Keep this product away from children and pets.
Carefully read the instructions for the electric
devices you intend to connect.
Keep away from direct sunlight, water, dust, and
dirt.

environments.
High temperatures can damage the battery and
decrease the lifecycle and capacity.
DO NOT leave outdoors overnight uncovered. The
moisture from the dew may lead to a short circuit.
Danger!
Can I fly with the Arc
3
?
No. FAA regulations allow a maximum of
100Wh batteries on a plane. Arc
3
is 300Wh.
Do I need to calibrate my battery remaining
meter?
Only if you notice a major difference between
the predicted time left and how long your Arc
is actually running. Calibrate your Arc’s battery
runtime meter by charging to 100%,
discharging to 0% (until the unit turns off),
then charging back up to 100%.
Can the Arc
3
be stored and operated
indoors?
Yes, lithium-iron phosphate cells do not
exhaust any fumes and are completely safe.
Can I recharge while powering devices
at the same time?
Yes, the Arc
3
is equipped with pass-through
charging which means you can recharge the
Arc
3
while using it to power devices at the
same time.
Can I use both AC and DC ports at the same
time?
Yes, Arc
3
supports simultaneous operation. All
ports can be used at once, provided the total
draw is less than 350W.
What will happen if I plug in a device that
draws over 350W?
The unit will stop operation and display an
overload error message. Press the AC button
to turn off and turn on again to reset the
system.
How long will it keep a charge?
1 Year. It’s best for your battery’s health to
charge every 3 months and store at 40-50%.
Do not store at 0% charge, lithium-iron
batteries lose 3-5% charge per month. Within
a few weeks your unit may be below the
charge level needed to accept a recharge and
permanent damage has been done.
Can I use this with my CPAP machine?
Absolutely. CPAP operation using DC ports
(with CPAP converter) will allow longer
runtime than AC ports. Runtime will differ
greatly based on heat, humidity, and pressure
settings.
Can the Arc
3
jump-start a car?
No, a jump start port is not available on this
unit.
Can I charge the Arc
3
with a generator?
Yes, it will charge in 5hrs. An inverter
generator is recommended.
Can I combine two solar panels to achieve a
faster charging rate?
Yes, as long as the combined output voltage
of the panels is between 12V -24V.
Will Arc
3
automatically shut down with no
power draw?
Yes, it will shut down after 10hrs. This duration
was designed to ensure fridges operate
properly.
Will the USB-C PD (Power Delivery) Port
power my Laptop?
Yes, it can provide up to 60W of charging
power.
How much power is drawn if a port is left on
accidentally?
About 1.5W per hour with a max of 15W total.
Can I buy parts to fix my Arc
3
after the
warranty has expired?
Yes, please visit our website for more
information.

Problem Solution
My Arc
3
shut down
while
powering
my device.
My device
is not
receiving
power.
My Arc
3
charge level
is fluctuating.
My Arc
3
is
not
charging.
My Arc3’s
screen
stopped
responding.
If the High Temperature icon on the digital display is
blinking: Turn all ports off and remove unit from heat source.
Do not use until unit has cooled and the icon disappears. Then
turn the output on and try again. Excessive heat will degrade
the battery’s life span.
If the AC icon on the digital display is blinking the unit
has overloaded. Press the AC button to turn off and turn on
again to reset. Max power limit for AC is 350W.
If the Low Temperature icon on the digital display is
blinking: Turn all ports off and remove unit from the cold. Do
not use until unit has warmed and the icon disappears. Then
turn the output on and try again.
Ensure the power switch for the output you want to use is on.
For example if you want to charge your phone turn USB on,
then plug in your phone.
If the battery is very low, the Arc
3
can’t read the charge as
accurately. As it receives a charge the accuracy will increase.
Your battery meter may need recalibration by charging to 100%,
draining to 0% (until the unit turns off), then charging back up to
100%.
Ensure that you are using the port labeled “input”, noted by
the red circle that surrounds it. Ensure that all components are
firmly connected.
Use a paperclip to restart your unit by pressing the factory
reset button (restart) on the front control panel. The unit will
then reboot. If this does not solve your issue please call our
technical support team.

General
Device Runtime | AC vs. DC Power
In general, it is normal for power losses to occur when
energy is transferred from the battery to the ports that
power your devices.
The AC port requires an inverter, which transforms power
from DC to AC. This process creates heat and consumes
about
15% of the power it transforms. DC ports are more
efficient and only consume 5% of the power that is
transformed.
Your device will always last longer when plugged into DC
ports if that option is available. For example, a CPAP
machine will last almost an extra night when using a DC
CPAP converter compared to the standard AC plug.
Heat is the Enemy
If the Arc
3
, or any power station, is left in the heat it will
impact its health, capacity and longevity. Keep out of hot
cars and direct sunlight on warm days. Heat is the #1
reason batteries degrade prematurely.
Determine The Power Consumption of Your Device
Device with no battery: locate Watts (W) on the product.
If Watts are not available: multiply the Voltage (V) x Amps
(A) to arrive at Watts. Eg. 120V x 0.6A =
72W
Device with a battery: locate Watt Hours (Wh).
Or multiply the Voltage (V) x Amp Hours (Ah) to arrive at
Watt Hours (Wh). Eg. 12V x 1.0Ah = 12Wh (Note: 1.0Ah =
1000mAh)
Calculate Working Time or Recharges for your Device
AC Outlets Working Capacity
300Wh x 0.85 (15% inverter conversion loss) = 255Wh
working capacity. For example, assume your fan consumes
72W. To calculate working time: 255Wh ÷ 72w = 3.5 hrs
DC and USB Outlets Working Capacity
300Wh x 0.95 (5% DC conversion loss) = 285Wh working
capacity. For example, assume your smartphone has a
12.3Wh capacity battery. To calculate the number of
recharges before capacity is depleted, use the formula:
285Wh ÷ 12.3Wh = 22 recharges.
Regulated 12V vs Non-Regulated 12V
Non-regulated 12V ports are linked to the charge
percentage of the battery. For example, when a power
station is at 100% charge the DC voltage will operate at
approximately 12V, which is acceptable for 12V devices. But
as the battery charge drops to 50% the DC voltage will drop
to approximately 10.8V. 12V devices such as
mini-fridges/coolers, CPAP machines, vacuums, radios etc.,
will simply stop running when the voltage drops below ~11V.
The Arc3 does not have regulated ports but it’s 12V ports
are optimized to output up to 14 Volts on a full charge and
a minimum of 12 Volts when the battery is almost depleted.
This ensures devices, such as electric coolers, keep running
no matter how much charge is remaining.
