AC product is drawing more than
200W
2.
AC product is rated at less than
200W, but the high starting surge
has tripped the safety overload.
3.
Battery has discharged to 8.5V±
0.3V
1.
Use an AC product with power
rating less than 200W
2.
Use an AC product with a starting
surge within 200W surge rating of
the Powerstation
3.
Turn the AC outlet off and
recharge the Powerstation
Overload shutdown
Appliance power requirements exceed
the capability of the Powerstation
Unplug the appliance and confirm that
the
appliance’s
power requirement is
200W or less before attempting to
restart the appliance.
Overtemperature shutdown
Inverter has overheated due to poor

If you ignore this warning, the
power station will automatically
shut down when the battery
reaches 8.5V ± 0.3V
Recharge the Powerstation
Run time is less than expected
1.
Internal battery was not fully
charged
2.
AC product power
consumption is higher than
expected
3.
