FAQS

• Q1: Is the AC240 power station waterproof ?

  A: No, the AC240 power station is not waterproof. However, it does boast an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance, providing protection against environmental factors including sea wind and corrosion.

• Q2: What does IP65 rating mean?

  A: IP or Ingress Protection Rating measures a device's resistance to solids and water. The first digit of the rating indicates the level of protection against solid objects such as dust, tools, or fingers. The second digit represents the moisture protection level. An IP65 rating means the AC240 can prevent dust ingress and withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction.

• Q3: Can I use the AC240 in the rain?

  A: No, the AC240 is IP65 water-resistant, but it should not be used in the rain. Water ingress to the output ports may cause potential damage to your devices, or even risk of short circuits. If the ports get wet, please dry the surfaces thoroughly before using again.

• Q4: Why is the charging power often too low?

  A: AC240 has a built-in intelligent BMS (Battery Management System) that automatically adjusts the charging power in response to the battery temperature and SoC (State of Charge), thus protecting the battery and extending its lifespan.
