Winter Is Just Around The Corner. How To Take Better Care of Portable Outdoor Power Plants
As the Northern Hemisphere enters a new round of cooling, much of the region is ushering in a true winter. The frequency of outdoor camping will decrease, and so will the ability to use outdoor powerbanks. So how should I store and care for outdoor powerbanks?
1. The temperature of the storage environment should be neither too cold nor too hot
Outdoor powerbanks should not be stored in places that are too cold. If the outdoor powerbank operates in an extremely cold environment and the internal temperature rises, moisture may form and damage the circuit board. Due to the excessive temperature difference, moisture may form and cause accidents.
At the same time, outdoor mobile power banks should not be placed in places where the temperature is too high. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices and deform or melt certain plastic parts.
2. Place it in a dry environment
A humid environment is not conducive to the preservation of all types of electrical equipment, and that includes outdoor power supplies. It should be kept in a dry environment with low humidity. This will prolong the life of the outdoor power supply.
3. Pay attention to drop protection and shock resistance
Outdoor power banks cannot withstand violent shocks. Their internal structure is complex and the internal components such as cells and circuit boards are very precise. Rough handling would destroy the internal circuit board. Therefore, try to avoid shocks and impacts.
4. Appropriate charging or discharging
Do not wait to charge until the energy of the outdoor mobile power supply is completely depleted. If stored for a long period of time, proper charging or discharging can extend the life of the outdoor power supply. Do not overcharge, do not discharge completely. Avoid abnormal fluctuations in the individual cells.
5. Avoid leaving the power supply without power for an extended period of time
If the outdoor power supply is not used for a long period of time, try to keep it at 50% power. Although the Foxtheon iGo3200 Outdoor Power Supply is equipped with solar cells, it can perform microelectric protection with light power. As long as it is kept in a bright place, it will never lose power. However, if you keep it in a totally dark place, you should charge it every 3-6 months. In this way, you will prolong the life of the outdoor power bank and avoid the problem of power loss when it is used again.Do not wait until the power of the outdoor mobile power station is completely exhausted before charging. When stored for a long time, proper charging or discharging can extend the life of outdoor power supply. Charge not to be too full, discharge should not be completely discharged. Prevent abnormal fluctuations in single cells.
5. Avoid putting the power supply in a state of power loss for a long time
When the outdoor power supply is not used for a long time, try to keep it at 50% power. Although the Foxtheon iGo3600 outdoor power supply comes with solar panels, it can carry out light energy micro-electric protection. As long as it is stored in a place with light, it will never lose electricity. But if you store it in a completely dark space, try to charge it every 3-6 months. This helps to extend the service life of the outdoor power supply and avoid the problem of power loss when it is used again.
