I bought my power station for emergencies when I unexpectedly lose AC power. Everybody has their own requirements. For many it’s refrigeration, for me it was for tolerable sleeping. In hurricane prone South Florida, where I’ve gone weeks without power. Trying to sleep in humid high temperatures is miserable. So I was kinda shocked to hear you’re not supposed to store your power station long term at 100%, but more like 60%. So if my power goes down I basically only have half the power on reserve that I planned on.
The first thing I thought of was then why do you say it can act as a UPS? That would require it to be on all the time. So I did a little digging. I found their FAQ.
I had to look up 100% SoC…
100% SoC means the battery is fully charged, indicating that it has the maximum amount of usable energy available at that moment. Conversely, 0% SoC means the battery is completely depleted.
Note: if it’s plugged into a active AC outlet… you can’t turn it off. So at the minimum you have the green power button light on.
It almost sound’s like using it as a computer UPS is the best way to use it. Or perhaps store it off for 5-6 months at 60%, then use it as a UPS in the summer when you’re more likely to loose power.
