Appx. 1 FAQ
Tips for maintaining the CHARGER 1:
To keep the CHARGER 1 in good condition:
a. Regularly tighten the screws.
b. Keep it clean and dry.
c. Ensure proper ventilation.
Why should I start the vehicle before using CHARGER 1?
Starting the vehicle ensures the car's battery has enough voltage. This prevents
draining the battery while charging, which could otherwise shorten the battery's
lifespan.
Does CHARGER 1 affect fuel consumption?
CHARGER 1 efficiently utilizes the excess power of the car's generator for the power
station, minimizing fuel consumption.
Does CHARGER 1 have safety features?
Absolutely. CHARGER 1 comes with protections for reverse polarity, overcurrent,
short circuit, overvoltage, and undervoltage.
Where should I place the CHARGER 1 in the car?
Place the CHARGER 1 inside the vehicle's cabin or trunk as the cooling fan may
produce noise when starting up.
Can CHARGER 1 damage my power station?
No. Simply adjust CHARGER 1's output voltage via the app to meet your power
station's specifications before connecting it.
