Why is my power station losing power when I'm not using it?Updated 4 hours ago

While camping the Sorein Power Station should be turned completely off when you don't need it. Otherwise it will continue to use up its battery, even if there's nothing plugged into it. You can tell that it is still on, because the green light in the center of the power button is illuminated. (See photo below.)

Briefly pressing the power button on the front panel will cause the display to go blank, but it doesn't turn off the power station. You'll notice that the green light stays on.

To save power, turn the power station off by pressing and holding the front panel power button until the screen shows "OFF" and then goes blank. The little green light in the center of the power button should be off, too. 

The Sorein will still use a small amount of power when OFF, but it usually isn't enough to matter during a trip.

Between trips

Between camping trips, consider keeping the Sorein Power Station plugged into a wall outlet at home. This will keep it charged.

If you don't have a wall outlet available, you can put the power station into Warehouse Mode, which means it will hold its charge for a long time. To do this, press and hold both the "USB" and "DC5521" buttons for 15 seconds. The Sorein will beep 3 times, display "OFF" on the screen, and then go into hibernation.

IMPORTANT: Note that once in Warehouse Mode, the Sorein cannot be turned on again until either:

• it is plugged into an AC wall outlet
• a solar panel producing at least 50 watts is plugged into the XT60 input at the back

So be sure to exit Warehouse Mode before going on a camping trip.
