There are three ways to Power station Once at the usual household socket , in vehicle while driving via the cigarette lighter or via a Solar module , which is either permanently installed or flexibly adjustable.
Because the power station requires significantly less installation effort than a complete kit for a motorhome, it doesn't need to be permanently installed, which is a particular advantage in winter. This means you can simply take the power station into your home, where it's not exposed to the outside temperatures and can be charged easily via a wall outlet.
Let’s take a closer look at the three ways to charge the power station:
Charging via the socket
You can easily charge your power station via a wall outlet at home. This way, you don't have to set off with an empty power station; you can charge it at home and arrive at your destination with a full power station. The appropriate cable is usually included in the delivery.
Charging via cigarette lighter
While driving your motorhome, you can charge the power station via the cigarette lighter. This is especially useful for longer journeys, as it charges approximately 100 watts per hour. The EcoFlow Mini Power Station (with 882 W) would be almost fully charged after approximately 8 hours of driving. Special adapters are available for connecting the power station to the cigarette lighter.
Charging with a solar module
Once you reach your destination, you can continue charging the power station with a flexible solar module, such as our SunFolder. It's important that the power station and the solar bag are compatible; then connecting them is easy. Simply plug the adapter cable into the power station and connect the cable to the power station. The charging process begins.
What do you have to pay attention to?
The idea behind a power station isn't to use it until it's completely empty and then recharge it completely, but to maintain its charge level using solar energy. Simultaneous charging and discharging are possible with a power station. However, every now and then you should discharge your power station and then fully recharge it to calibrate it. This is best done at home between trips. Regardless of the charging method, it's important to protect the power station from extreme temperatures. Store and charge the device in a temperature-controlled area to maximize battery longevity.
What is the best option?
The best option is actually a combination of all these options. When you're on the road with your motorhome, simply plug the power station into the cigarette lighter and charge it that way. Once you arrive, you can continue charging it with a flexible or fixed solar panel. This ensures that the power station is always ready for use and that you always have enough power available.
