The GRECELL T-500 is a portable power station designed to provide reliable power for various devices, making it suitable for outdoor adventures, emergency backup, or general use where grid power is unavailable. Its primary function is to store electrical energy in its internal battery and then deliver it through multiple output ports, including AC, DC, USB-A, and USB-C, to charge or power a wide range of electronic devices and small appliances. The unit features a robust design with an anti-collision strip and a folding handle for portability, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of travel and outdoor environments.
One of the key usage features of the T-500 is its intuitive control system, centered around an LCD screen display that provides real-time information on battery level, input status, and output status for DC, AC, and USB ports. This allows users to monitor power consumption and remaining battery life at a glance. The power station is equipped with individual ON/OFF buttons for each output type (DC, USB, AC), enabling users to selectively activate the necessary ports and conserve power when certain outputs are not in use. The main power ON/OFF button serves as the master switch for the unit.
For lighting needs, the T-500 includes an SOS Mode and LED Light button. A single press activates the LED light, while a double click switches to SOS mode, providing an emergency signal. Pressing the button again returns to the LED light mode, and a final press turns the light off. This feature is accessible regardless of whether the main power button is activated, offering immediate illumination when needed.
Charging the T-500 is flexible, with multiple input options. It can be recharged via a solar panel, a car charger, or an AC adapter. The device supports solar panels up to 120W, with charging times varying based on solar light intensity. When charging with a solar panel, it is crucial to ensure the operating voltage does not exceed DC 12-26V. For car charging, a 12V car charger cable is provided, taking approximately 7-8 hours to fully charge the unit. The AC adapter offers the fastest charging method, typically fully charging the T-500 in about 6-7 hours. It is recommended to disconnect the unit once fully charged to optimize battery health.
The T-500 also supports pass-through charging, an advanced battery management feature that allows it to charge connected devices via its AC, DC, and USB outputs simultaneously while the power station itself is being recharged. This functionality enhances convenience, as users do not have to wait for the T-500 to be fully charged before powering their other devices.
Safety is a paramount consideration in the design and usage of the T-500. The unit incorporates an internal cooling fan that automatically activates during discharge or recharging, especially under higher output loads, to maintain an optimal operating temperature range. This intermittent operation helps prevent overheating and ensures stable performance. In the event of an overload condition on an output port, the T-500 will automatically shut off the AC output power, while the DC output status remains unchanged. The blue indicator light on the LCD screen will stay illuminated, prompting the user to check the input cable and ensure it meets the specified requirements.
Maintenance of the GRECELL T-500 is straightforward, focusing on proper handling and storage to ensure longevity and optimal performance. Users should always ensure the unit is disconnected from all input power sources and output devices before cleaning. A clean, dry, soft-lint-free cloth should be used to wipe down the exterior. It is important to remove any debris, dirt, or blockages from both side vents, taking care not to allow these particles to enter the internal body of the T-500. Abrasive cleaners or solvents should never be used, as they can damage the unit's surfaces. Additionally, compressed air should not be used to clean the cooling vents, as this can force foreign particles into the internal circuitry. To prevent electrical shock, metal objects should not be used to clean the ports.
For storage, the T-500 should be kept in a dry environment, away from moisture and direct sunlight. It is crucial to keep the product out of reach of children. If a low-battery warning appears, the battery should be charged before storing. Small metal objects should not be allowed to fall on or around the product while in storage. To maintain the health of the battery pack, it is recommended to fully charge and discharge the T-500 at least once every three months, especially if it has not been used for an extended period. The ideal storage temperature range is between -20°C and 45°C.
The T-500 is designed for durability, but users should avoid dropping the unit or placing heavy objects on it to prevent collision damage. If the unit comes into contact with water, it should be immediately removed from the water and placed in a safe, open area to dry completely. It should not be used again if it has been submerged, and proper disposal methods should be followed. In case of fire, recommended extinguishing equipment includes water, water mist, sand, fire blanket, dry powder, or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher.
The device also features a sleep mode for power saving. The LCD screen will enter sleep mode after 20 seconds of inactivity and will wake up when a charging cord is input or any button is pressed. If the output power of the device is less than 5W, it will go into hibernation after more than 8 hours. The input can be "awakened" by charging the input or pressing any button. When not in use, it is advisable to press the switch button to turn off the output completely.
Overall, the GRECELL T-500 is a versatile and user-friendly portable power station, offering multiple charging options, comprehensive safety features, and straightforward maintenance, making it a reliable power solution for a variety of applications.
