How to maintain and store portable power station?

Maintenance method

Regular charge and discharge:

Even if it is not used frequently, a charge and discharge cycle should be performed every once in a while (such as every 3-6 months) to maintain battery activity and extend battery life.

Prevent overcharge and over discharge:

Avoid long-term overcharging or over-discharging. Each charging should not exceed 12 hours, and unplug the plug in time after charging is completed; when using, avoid using up the power completely before charging. It is recommended to start charging when the power is 20%-30% remaining.

Pay attention to the use environment:

In terms of temperature, avoid using and storing in an environment with too high or too low temperature. High temperature will accelerate battery aging, shorten life and even cause safety problems, while low temperature may cause battery performance degradation and capacity reduction. Generally speaking, the suitable temperature for use and storage is between 10℃-30℃.

In terms of humidity, keep it dry and avoid moisture. A humid environment may cause problems such as short circuits and corrosion, affecting power supply performance and life. Do not use or store in humid places, such as bathrooms, basements, etc.

Avoid external force damage:

Be careful and gentle during use to avoid external force impacts such as falling, collision, and squeezing to avoid damaging internal batteries, circuit boards and other components.

When not in use, it is best to put it in a packaging box or use a protective cover, box, etc. for protection.

Cleaning and maintenance:

Regularly clean the dust, dirt and other debris on the surface of the power supply to prevent it from entering the power supply and affecting heat dissipation and performance. You can use a clean soft cloth to wipe it gently. For some difficult-to-clean gaps, you can use a small vacuum cleaner to remove dust.

Storage method

Choose a suitable storage environment:

Store it in a dry, well-ventilated, and temperature-appropriate place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature environments.

The portable power station can be placed in indoor storage rooms, wardrobes, etc., away from windows and heat sources.

Control the storage power:

When not in use for a long time, it is recommended to keep the power at about 50%, rather than fully charged or completely discharged.

If it is a portable power station with a solar panel self-charging function and the storage environment is illuminated, the power can also be kept at a high level.

Regular inspection:

Check the stored portable power station at regular intervals (e.g. every 3-6 months) to see if the power is sufficient and if the appearance is damaged. If the power is insufficient, charge it in time; if the appearance is damaged or other abnormal conditions are found, repair or replace it in time.

In summary, proper maintenance and storage are essential to extend the service life of the portable power station and ensure its performance and safety. Users should use and maintain the portable power station reasonably according to the above methods and suggestions to ensure that it can reliably provide power support when needed.
