Emergency portable power station is also known as portable energy storage outdoor power supply, outdoor mobile power supply, etc. With more and more outdoor activities such as field camping in my country in the past two years, emergency portable power station has also become a travel device for outdoor activities! The outdoor energy storage power supply has multiple charging methods such as mains charging, car charging, and solar charging, etc., which can meet a wide range of needs such as outdoor flexible power consumption, home backup power, and outdoor emergency work, and can be applied to many fields of power consumption. Of course, the most used in our daily life is emergency and outdoor activities.
Although the outdoor energy storage power supply is a safe and stable small mini energy storage power supply. But as long as it is a power supply device, later maintenance and maintenance are essential. As an energy storage product in the lithium battery family, emergency portable power station also has a service cycle life. Correct maintenance can not only effectively protect the energy storage power supply , can also prolong its service life. So let's go back to our topic now: can the emergency portable power station be used while charging? Today, the editor will explain to you!
1. First of all, we need to figure out how the power supply works when charging and using at the same time?
This problem requires two cases:
If the output power is less than the input power, there is no need to take power from the battery, then you can directly supply power to the device and recharge the battery if there is surplus power.
If the output power is greater than the input power, it needs to take power from the battery. If the battery is not charged, it still needs to consume power, and the more it is charged, the less it will be.
2. Does charging and using the emergency portable power station affect the life of the power supply?
As mentioned above, if the output power is greater than the input power, it needs to take power from the battery. This situation is equivalent to using the emergency portable power station directly, which will naturally increase the cycle times of the battery and affect the service life.
Of course, what really affects the life of the power supply is not charging while using it, but the temperature. Generally, the ideal charging temperature for outdoor energy storage power supply is 0-40°C. Charging under high temperature or ultra-low temperature conditions will affect the life of outdoor energy storage power supply.
In addition, the outdoor energy storage power supply will generate heat when charging, and we will also generate heat when using electrical appliances. If the temperature generated by both working at the same time is high, it is recommended not to use it while charging.
3. Will the number of cycles be counted when the outdoor energy storage power supply is used while charging?
Those who are familiar with lithium batteries know that the number of charge and discharge cycles of general lithium batteries is limited, and the emergency portable power station is the same. A complete charge and discharge (full charge and use up) is a cycle! So you don't have to worry about increasing the number of cycles of the power supply while charging.
4. Does the newly purchased outdoor energy storage power supply need to be discharged and then fully charged?
In fact, general lithium batteries do not have a "memory effect", so there is no reason why a newly purchased outdoor energy storage power supply must be discharged and then fully charged at one time. On the contrary, lithium batteries are afraid of overcharging and over-discharging. Every time the outdoor energy storage power supply is used up, it will be charged, which will affect the service life of the outdoor energy storage power supply to a certain extent.
Therefore, we usually recommend charging to 95%, and it is best to charge shallowly: for example, if there is 20% left, 30% can be charged, and there is no need to recharge after running out of power. The above is the answer to the question "Can the emergency portable power station be used while charging?" Do you understand everything?
