The Aviva Portable Power Station M470 (VF-ES002A) is a versatile and robust power solution designed for both home and on-the-go use, providing a central power source for various needs, including off-grid adventures and emergency backup. This user-friendly device is accompanied by a comprehensive manual that guides users through its functions, charging methods, and safety precautions.
The Aviva M470 serves as a portable power station, capable of powering and charging a wide array of electronic devices and small appliances. It features multiple output ports, including USB-C PD, USB-A (Quick Charge 3.0 and standard 5V/3.1A), DC 12V, and 110V AC outlets, making it compatible with a diverse range of gadgets from smartphones and laptops to small refrigerators and electric lights. The device is equipped with a clear 4.7" LCD display that provides essential information such as watt input/output, battery status, charging power, discharge power, and system temperature.
The power station can be recharged through several methods: an AC wall outlet using the included adapter, a 12V car port using the provided car charging cable, or an optional Aviva 60W/100W solar panel. It also supports fast charging from a USB-C wall charger. This multi-faceted charging capability ensures that the device can be replenished in various environments, whether at home, in a vehicle, or outdoors with solar energy.
Operating the Aviva M470 is straightforward, with dedicated buttons for activating DC and AC power outputs. To power USB outputs, users simply short-press either the AC or DC button. For DC outputs, a long-press of the DC button is required to turn them on or off. Similarly, AC outputs are controlled by a long-press of the AC button. To power off all outputs and enter a sleep state, both AC and DC buttons must be pressed simultaneously, which also helps conserve energy. The device includes a low battery alert, which can be turned off by pressing either the AC or DC button.
When connecting devices, it's crucial to verify compatibility with the M470's power capacity. The manual emphasizes checking the specifications for each output port to ensure devices do not exceed the maximum power capacity. For DC 12V devices, the M470 supports appliances with a DC 6530 male connector, an outer diameter power plug of 6.5mm, and a current draw of less than 8A (peak 10A). Examples include DC fans, LED lights, vacuum cleaners, air pumps, and car refrigerators. For AC devices, the unit supports products with a power of less than 300 watts.
The M470 incorporates a Battery Management System (BMS) that provides several protection features, including over voltage, low-voltage, over temperature, short circuit, and over current protection. If a short circuit or overpower condition occurs, the unit will trigger protection mode and shut down the affected output. To restore functionality, users must disconnect the problematic device and restart the power station.
The device is designed for convenience, with a durable aluminum polycarbonate shell and a slate grey and black finish. Its compact dimensions (11.0 x 6.3 x 8.1 inches) and manageable weight (11.72 lbs) make it highly portable. The manual also highlights that when a device is removed from a USB port, the product will automatically hibernate after 60 seconds, further aiding in power conservation.
Long-term maintenance of the Aviva M470 involves fully charging the unit prior to storage and checking and recharging it at least once every three months. This practice helps preserve battery health and ensures the device is ready for use when needed. The manual recommends charging the unit every 3-6 months to maintain optimal performance.
For cold weather use, it's advised to store the unit in a temperature-isolated place, as extremely low temperatures can affect the battery's capacity due to its chemical characteristics. The operating usage temperature range is 32°-104° F (0°-40° C), and the recharging temperature range is 41°-95° F (5°-35° C).
Safety is a key aspect of maintenance. Users are warned to keep the device away from water and fire, as it is not waterproof. Only authorized personnel should service the product. It's important to avoid storing the device near coins, jewelry, keys, or other metal objects, as this can negatively impact the battery. The unit should not be placed near intense heat or fire, nor should it be disassembled without permission. Dropping the product or placing heavy objects on it should be avoided. During use, the device should not be covered with objects like towels or clothing to prevent overheating.
The manual also advises against charging longer than the required time and recommends disconnecting devices from the Aviva M470 once they are fully charged. When the product reaches the end of its life, users are encouraged to recycle used electronics, batteries, and packaging materials at dedicated collection points.
In case of service needs, customers are directed to contact Aviva Customer Service via telephone or email, rather than returning the unit to the store. This ensures that expert assistance is provided for any warranty claims or technical support.
