Portable power station, also known as portable energy storage outdoor power supply and emergency power supply, is equivalent to a small portable charging station. It has various charging methods such as mains power, vehicle, and solar photovoltaic panels, and can realize outdoor flexible charging and discharging, and family emergency backup power. It has become a popular outdoor electrical product for campers. How to charge the portable power station? How to maintain portable power station? Find out below.
How to charge the portable power station well
1. When purchasing a portable power station for the first time, how to charge and discharge it?
After you receive the portable power station, you will see that there is remaining power after turning it on. If the remaining power exceeds 90%, it can be used directly for power supply at this time. If the remaining power is low, you can choose the supporting original charger, solar panel, and car charging head to fully charge it before using it. During charging, the display will display corresponding data prompts, such as charging power, battery percentage, etc.
2. How to charge the portable power station for daily use?
Reminder, the portable power station should be charged whenever it is used. When the remaining power is about 10%, it should be charged in time. Although the portable power station generally has a built-in BMS protection system to prevent the power from being over-discharged, it is necessary to replenish the power in time. Keep the lithium battery in a better cycle state.
3. Using the portable power station while charging will damage the service life?
First of all, it is clear to everyone that the portable power station must meet the condition of "charging power > output power (that is, charging speed is faster than output speed)" while charging and using. We all know that the core of the portable power station is the lithium battery, and the lithium battery has a certain cycle life. When the number of cycles exceeds the theoretical value, the capacity will still be about 80% of the initial capacity. Lithium batteries have no memory effect, and only one cycle will be counted after a complete charge and discharge, so charging while using does not count repeated cycles, but it must meet the first conditions of use.
4. High frequency use of portable power station to accelerate scrapping?
We all know that each portable power station has its own number of usage cycles. Exceeding the number of cycles does not mean that the portable power station will be scrapped, but the capacity will be lower to about 80% of the initial capacity, and many portable power stations are currently There are many cycles, so high-frequency power consumption can be used with confidence.
How to maintain portable power station
1. Anti-cold and heat-proof
Do not place the portable power station where the temperature is too high. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic equipment, damage portable power stations, and warp or melt certain plastic parts. Also do not store the portable power station in a cold place. When the portable power station operates in extremely cold environments, when the internal temperature rises, moisture can form in the portable power station and damage the circuit boards. Some small factories have safety accidents due to humidity.
2. Placement environment of portable power station
All kinds of electrical appliances need to be placed in a dry environment with low air humidity, and an environment with high humidity is not good for the preservation of all kinds of electrical appliances. Therefore, for the service life of your portable power station, please try to keep the portable power station The station is placed in a dry environment.
3. Output voltage range of portable power station
Although some devices have a usb interface, they also need to be powered by a portable power station. However, you should pay attention to the input voltage range of the device. Generally, the voltage output range of portable power station is 5.3-0.5v. If the input voltage range required by your device is not within the range of the portable power station, it is recommended that you do not use the portable power station to power your device to ensure the service life of your portable power station.
4. Drop-proof and shock-proof
The portable power station is actually a fragile component, and the internal components cannot withstand knocking. Especially to prevent accidental landing during use. Do not drop, knock or shake the portable power station. Rough handling of the portable power station can damage the internal circuit boards.
5. Use original accessories
Be sure to use the original accessory charger. The mismatched current and voltage during charging will cause damage to the circuit system, shorten the battery life, and even bring safety hazards. The original battery and charger are the best combination.
6. Use your portable power station frequently
Charge and discharge the portable power station once a month and use it frequently to maximize the service life of the portable power station.
7. Shallow charging and shallow discharge prolong life
Excessive charging and discharging are extremely harmful to the portable power station, and the damage caused is irreversible, so do not wait until the battery is completely exhausted before charging, and do not charge for too long. Shallow charging and shallow discharging are the best options for extending the life of outdoor power supplies !
8. Do not store for a long time
If the portable power station will not be stored for a long time, you should avoid leaving the power supply in a state of low power for a long time, and it is best to keep the power at 50%. Charge it every 3 months to help prolong the life of the power supply.
