Our safety precautions extend beyond ensuring proper usage and the longevity of our devices. We also care about your safety, as the user.

Visually inspect the device before use

check for damaged ports, frayed cables, or cracks in the casing before powering up your portable power station. Remember, even minor damages can lead to electrical hazards or cause device failure.

Assess Ventilation

It is common for portable power stations to generate heat while charging and discharging. Always place your device in a well-ventilated area to keep things cool and running smoothly. Avoid leaving it exposed to sunlight for too long and never enclosed in a tight space with little breathing room. 

2. Battery Precautions

Avoid Overcharging

One of the quickest ways to shortening your battery’s lifespan is by overcharging it. However, there is no need to worry as PISEN models come equipped with smart charging technology that prevents overcharging. Nevertheless, it’s still advisable that you monitor the charging process.

Charge in a Safe Environment

You can either charge your power station in a dry outdoor space or indoors. Whichever environment you choose, avoid charging near flammable materials and areas with moisture to minimize the potential risks.

3. Avoiding Electrical Hazards

Use Compatible Devices

Power stations can not handle all appliances. For instance, the wattage of your device should not exceed that of the power station’s output capacity.

Avoid Overloading the Ports

Considering most power stations come with multiple ports (AC, DC, USB), it is tempting to charge several devices simultaneously. This often present the risk of overloading which can cause electrical hazards. Charging several devices simultaneously is safe as long as you’ve ensured that the combined load doesn’t exceed the unit’s capacity.

Handling Cables and Connectors with Care

Always use high-quality, manufacturer-recommended cables and connectors as improper handling of cables can lead to short circuits. Fortunately, our PISEN models come with accessories like an XT60 cable for safe connections.

4. Safe Charging Practices

Precautions for Solar Charging

The PISEN 2000W and other modern power stations support solar panel inputs. Always ensure that the panels are compatible and properly connected once you choose to charge using solar panels. To prevent accidents, avoid setting up the panels in windy or unstable environments.

Vehicle Charging Precautions

Perhaps one of the greatest risks of charging your power station through your car is leaving your cables dangling or unsecured. Always ensure that you secure your cables and connections. Preferably, avoid charging while driving to prevent distractions or damage to the car’s power system.

5. Maintenance and Long-Term Care

Regular Cleaning

Use compressed air or a dry cloth to clean the device regularly as dust and debris accumulate over time and will eventually affect the power station’s ports and cooling vents.

Cycle the Battery

Always discharge and recharge your battery periodically, especially when it’s not being used regularly. This will ensure that the battery’s original capacity is preserved and the battery’s health is maintained.

6. Preparing for Emergencies

In the event of emergencies like power outages or natural disasters, portable power stations can be invaluable if not well prepared. To avoid getting caught off guard, remember to always keep your power station fully charged, store all essential cables and adapters in an accessible place, and periodically test the device, just to ensure it’s functioning properly.
