FixHub Power Station Not Putting Out Enough Power
You're noticing the FixHub Power Station is not outputting the expected 100W.
Battery Charge Level Is Too Low
- Check the battery charge level of your Portable Power Station. Available power will ramp down as the battery is discharged.
- Here are some major steps on the ramp:
- At 100% charge, down to 88% charge, the output is the full 100 watts.
- Between 87% and 25% charge, there is a gradual ramp down to 75 watts.
- At 24% charge the output drops from 75 watts to 20 watts.
- At 9% charge down to 6% charge the power output drops to 10 watts.
- At 5% and lower charge, there will be zero power output.
- If the charge level is at 25% or below, you should charge your unit. If your usage is heavy, you should charge the unit to between 80 and 100%.
The Power Station is Overheating
When the power station is putting out a lot of current (power) the battery will grow warm. This is a natural property of batteries. To protect the battery from damage, the Power Station will throttle the power output.
- If the ambient temperature is high, the output may throttle sooner under heavy loads.
- If the Power Station feels warm to the touch, disconnect any loads and let the station rest for some time so that it can cool down. A half-hour to an hour may be needed.
- You may need to allow the unit to rest after charging, as charging also creates heat, which may affect the ability of the station to deliver power.
