Can a portable power station run a 12V fridge?

iTechworld's power station range can power a 12V fridge for up to 12 hours (using the PS300) or a whole week (PS3600 PRO). Thanks to its regulated 12V output, iTechworld power stations provide consistent and stable electrical output. This prevents vo

How long will my power station stay charged?

iTechworld’s power station range can hold power for up to 6 months before requiring recharging. Please follow the maintenance instructions in the user guide for your specific iTechworld power station model.

What are the benefits of a portable power station over a generator?

A power station is a great alternative to a generator as they are portable, can be used indoors, and is generally cheaper and quieter to run. To learn more about the differences between the two, head to our article, Lithium Power Station vs Inverter

How do I charge my power station?

iTechworld’s power station range can be charged in 5 different ways! Either through 240V AC mains (home), a 12V car cigarette socket, solar power, generators or even an additional battery.

Can I use it during a power outage at home?

Yes, thanks to the portable nature of iTechworld’s power stations, they can be used without being plugged in. The higher the watts, the more appliances it can power. They can power caravans and supply power off-grid as well.

Can I use it all the way to 0%?

Yes! Thanks to our deep-cycle technology, all of the power inside a lithium power station is usable.

Can I plug it into my caravan's 240V input?

Yes! The iTechworld PS1300 and PS3600 power stations can be plugged into a caravan’s input, though a 10A to 15A 240V cable will be required. Please ensure your selected power station is large enough to power your caravan’s appliances.

What size solar panel should I use with my power station?

Depending on your power station, the recommended solar panel will vary as follows:. 100W panels are best suited to models like the PS300. 200W panels are best suited to the PS800, PS1300 and PS2000 models. 300W panels are best suited for models like

Can I charge it from an Anderson plug?

Yes! All iTechworld power stations can be charged via the Anderson plug. We use a variety of adaptors in power stations ranging from XT90, XT60, 6.5mm to Anderson and 5mm to Anderson.

How long does it take to charge?

Our PS range of power stations can be charged from 0 to 100% in just a few hours when charging from 240v AC. For charging times of specific models, please head to our website.

Can it power my CPAP machine?

Yes! iTechworld power stations are capable of running CPAP machines. The battery capacity of your station will determine how long it can run. We tested one of the most common CPAP machines (ResMed) via 240V power with some of our best-selling power s

Is there any installation required?

Not at all! The iTechworld Lithium Power Stations are designed to be portable so you can easily power your next adventure on the go!

Can I charge and discharge from the power station at the same time?

Yes! An iTechworld power station can be charged via solar, 12V or 240V and can simultaneously power a 12V or USB appliance. We refer to this as 'pass-through' charging. Our recent PS range can be used as a UPS system that can output power from 240V A

Can the battery packs of my power station be replaced at the end of their lifespan?

Yes! We design all of our power stations so that each component can be replaced easily by an iTechworld technician, including the battery pack.

Can I use a non-iTechworld solar panel to charge my power station?

We always recommend using an iTechworld solar panel and an iTechworld power station to ensure the system's optimum performance. However, you can use non-iTechworld solar panels, provided their specifications match the power station's charging paramet

Can I connect my power station to my existing DCDC charger?

All iTechworld power stations have a DCDC charger built-in, so there is no need to connect it to an additional DCDC charger.

What's the difference between a power station and a battery box?

The conventional way to set up a dual-battery system is to use a battery box. In addition to the battery and the box, you'd also need to purchase a DCDC charger, an AC charger, a digital display, a solar controller and an inverter. All of these compo

Can I replace my small generator with an iTechworld power station?

The larger end of the power station range, such as the PS1300, could take the place of a smaller generator and will run appliances like coffee machines, toasters, induction cook tops and more!

My DCDC charger doesn't recognise the power station

You cannot use a standalone DCDC charger with our power stations, as all iTechworld power stations have their own inbuilt DCDC charger. Please use the supplied charger to charge the power station directly from a 12V source, such as the 12V cigarette

My power station does not run my fridge as long as I expected

Please make sure your fridge's 'Low Voltage Cutoff' is set to the lowest setting, as this will allow your fridge to run for as long as possible. Also, make sure that the 'DC LOCK' is active when your fridge is connected to the 12V side of the power s

My power station no longer charges to 100%, or drops to 0% prematurely

This may be an issue with the power station's control panel. Please follow these instructions to resolve this issue:. 1. Charge your power station as best you can to 100% (ensure you are using the correct charger that came with the unit). 2. Fully dr

My power station charges at a lower wattage than my panel is rated for

An iTechworld power station will regulate the current and voltage from your solar panel and charge the battery most effectively. Some power stations cap the power input power at a lower wattage than what the solar panel is rated for.

My inverter only runs for around 6 hours

The inverter function on a lithium power station will only operate for 6 hours. To engage the inverter again, disconnect and reconnect the unit.
