QUESTION: Is the Sorein Power Station or Extra Battery waterproof?
ANSWER: No, the units should be kept under cover to protect them from rain or snow. In 2026, AIR GEAR will have a waterproof cover available.
If you cover the unit, be sure not to block the cooling fans on the sides.
A Sorein Power Station with no Extra Battery, will often fit underneath an RV.
QUESTION: How can the Sorein be transported in a truck?
ANSWER: The Sorein modules should be separated and protected from damage. In 2026, AIR GEAR will offer a set of padded carry bags for this purpose. These carry bags will also make moving individual modules much easier.
QUESTION: Can the Sorein Power Station be used in a truck bed, lying on its back?
ANSWER: Yes, as long as access to the outlets, inlets, and cooling fans is not blocked.
QUESTION: Can the Sorein Power Station be recharged from a DC-DC charger while in motion?
ANSWER: Yes, as long as access to the XT60 inlet and cooling fans is not blocked.
QUESTION: Can a CarGenerator be used to charge the Sorein Power Station?
ANSWER: The CarGenerator will charge a Sorein Power Station but it won't be the most efficient way to go. That's because the CarGenerator is an inverter, which converts DC power from your truck's alternator to AC power. Therefore, the power will undergo two conversions
- The CarGenerator converts power from DC to AC
- The Sorein Power Station converts the power back to DC to charge itself.
In each change, there's some power lost.
A better way to charge from a vehicle is to install a DC-DC charger on the vehicle, and connect that to the XT60 input on the Sorein Power Station. This way the power will remain DC (in other words, no conversions will be required).
