Problem
Cause
Solution
Expansion Battery will not pair multiple
batteries.
Batteries not paired individually
Each Expansion Battery must be paired
individually to the Power Station. Do not chain
Expansion Batteries and attempt to pair more than
one at a time. See Pairing Instructions.
Unit will not charge through solar.
Solar panels are not within spec
Check that your solar panels are rated between
10-28V.
Solar panels improperly connected
When connecting multiple solar panels, only
use provided Easy Connect DC Solar Charge
Harness and appropriately rated extensions. When
plugging directly into APP port, only use one solar
panel rated between 10-28V.
Solar panels not receiving enough
sunlight
Check that your solar panels are pointed directly
at the sun and there is ample sunlight. Read
your solar panel's instruction manual for proper
placement and instructions.
Charging while connected to Power
Station.
Do not charge either Power Station or Expansion
Batteries while connected to each other.
Unit not charging at Solar Panel rated
wattage.
Charging wattage depends on
environmental conditions and panel
efficiency.
Adjust your solar panels to face the sun as best as
possible throughout the day to achieve maximum
charging efficiency.
It may be necessary to connect more than any
combination of 440W of solar panels to reach the
full 440W of charging power.
For example, on a cloudy day, three 150W (450W
total) rated solar panels may only produce
about 250-350W of charging power. It may be
necessary, and will not harm your Power Station
to add more solar panels to the harness until you
reach 440W of charging power.
