Overview

This document describes the Alpha Digital Model: T101 Portable Power Supply, a versatile device designed to provide power for various electronic appliances and digital devices. It functions as a portable power station, offering AC, DC, and USB outputs, along with an integrated LED lamp. The unit is primarily intended for emergency use and is not meant to replace normal alternating current for long-term applications.

Function Description

The Alpha Digital T101 serves as a portable power source, capable of delivering power through multiple output types. It features a Modified Sine Wave AC output, suitable for AC electric appliances with power consumption under 100W. However, it's important to note that appliances with AC motors, such as electrical fans, refrigerators, microwaves, and compressors, may not operate at full capacity or may produce noise when connected to a modified sine wave output. For sensitive equipment or appliances with AC motors, a pure sine wave inverter would be more suitable.

In addition to AC output, the device provides DC 12V output through a 5.5mm x 2.5mm port, ideal for powering DC 12V appliances like headlamps or fans, and can also charge car kits via a DC to Cigarette Lighter Connector. The unit also offers multiple USB outputs, including standard 5V/2.1A ports and Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 ports (5-9V/2A), for charging various digital devices.

An integrated 4W ultra-bright LED light is included, offering flashlight, blink, and SOS modes, enhancing its utility in emergency situations or outdoor activities. The device features an LED display that shows the charging status (IN), USB output status (USB), AC output status (AC OUT), and battery capacity (%).

Usage Features

Operating the Alpha Digital T101 involves simple button controls. To power on/off the unit, check the battery, or activate USB/DC output, a long press of the designated button is required. A long press of 3 seconds will switch off the power. For AC output, a separate "AC" button needs to be long-pressed for 3 seconds to switch it on or off.

For DC 12V appliances, users connect their devices to the 5.5mm x 2.5mm DC output port and press the power button to activate DC output. It's crucial to confirm that the DC12V appliance supports charging with a 5.5mm x 2.5mm DC header interface; otherwise, an appropriate adapter may be needed. The DC output voltage ranges between 9V and 12.5V, with a maximum current of 15A. Users should be aware that the DC output voltage may drop as battery capacity decreases, potentially causing some appliances without built-in voltage stabilization to shut down.

When using the AC output, the power cable plug of the electrical appliance is connected to the AC outlet, and the "AC" button is long-pressed for 3 seconds. The device will then start providing power. It's important to turn off the AC port when not in use to conserve power. Users must also verify that the product's AC voltage and frequency specifications match those of their appliances, as these can vary by country. The unit has a continuous AC output of 100W (150W Max).

For USB digital appliances, a standard USB cable is connected to the unit's USB output, and the power button is pressed to turn on USB output. The Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 ports support smart devices compatible with this technology, providing 5V-9V / 2A max output. Actual output voltage and current may vary, so referring to the smart device manual is recommended.

The integrated LED lamp is activated by a double press of its dedicated button, which also allows switching between flashlight, blink, and SOS modes. A long press of 3 seconds will turn off the lamp. Users are warned not to point the light directly at eyes.

The Alpha Digital T101 can be charged in three ways:

  1. AC Wall Charger: Using the included 15V/2A AC Wall Charger, the unit is plugged into any wall outlet. The "IN" indicator on the LED display will blink during charging and stop blinking when fully charged, displaying "100%". The charger should be removed once charging is complete.
  2. Solar Panel: (Not included, 18V/35W~40W solar panels recommended) The solar panel should be placed in direct sunlight and its output plugged into the unit's input. The "IN" indicator will blink during charging and stop when fully charged, displaying "100%".
  3. Car Cigarette Lighter: Using the included car charger, the unit is plugged into a 12V cigarette lighter (car port) of a vehicle. The "IN" indicator will blink during charging and stop when fully charged, displaying "100%". To prevent car battery power loss, it's advised to charge the unit via the car cigarette lighter only when the car engine is running.

The device also features a low current output mode for charging Bluetooth headsets, electronic watches, or other low-power input products. This mode is activated by double-clicking the "AC" button, and the LED display will flash. It must be manually closed by pressing the power button for 3 seconds.

Maintenance Features

The Alpha Digital T101 incorporates several protection modes to ensure safe operation and longevity. It has short-circuit/overpower protection for both DC and AC outputs. If a DC output is short-circuited or overpowered (load power > 150W), the unit will shut down to protect itself. Users must clear the problem and recharge the unit to recover from protection mode. Similarly, if the AC output is short-circuited or overpowered (load power > 150W), the AC output will shut down. In such cases, the device should be removed, and the AC output button re-pressed to switch on AC output again. Some devices, like refrigerators or laser printers, may require a surge power exceeding 150W during startup, which could trigger overpower protection.

The unit is built with a high-quality original lithium-ion battery, which has no memory effect, high capacity, and durability. The battery can be charged and discharged over 500 times before eventually wearing out. To optimize charging capacity, it is recommended to charge the unit within a temperature range of 10°C to 30°C. For extending battery life, it is best to charge the product within 3 months of non-use and at least once every 6 months.

For cold weather usage (below freezing), the unit's battery capacity can be affected. To maintain optimal battery capacity in sub-zero conditions, it is recommended to keep the unit in an insulated cooler and connected to a power source (like solar panels), as the natural heat generated by the unit will help maintain battery capacity.

Safety and General Maintenance Guidelines:

  • Avoid short-circuiting the unit by keeping it away from metal objects (coins, hairpins, keys, etc.).
  • Do not heat the unit, dispose of it in fire, water, or other liquids. Keep it away from high temperatures and direct sunlight.
  • Store the unit in a place free from high humidity and dust.
  • Do not disassemble or reassemble the unit.
  • Avoid dropping the unit, placing heavy objects on it, or subjecting it to strong impacts.
  • The appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities unless supervised. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
  • Do not cover the device with towels, clothing, or other items, as the unit may become hot during charging, which is normal. Exercise caution when handling.
  • Do not overcharge the unit beyond the required time. Disconnect the unit when fully charged.
  • Use the unit properly to prevent electronic shock.
  • Dispose of the product in accordance with regulations; do not treat the built-in battery as household garbage to prevent explosion and pollution.
  • The product cannot replace standard DC or AC power of household appliances or digital products.
  • When charging, keep the unit away from TV, radio, and other equipment to avoid interference.
  • If the device has not been used for a long time, disconnect the cable and store it.
  • Some portable devices may require specific charge modes; refer to their respective manuals for more information.
