IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Y For charging 12V rechargeable batteries only. Y Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Y The lid of the battery box must remain shut at all times whilst charging a battery or
powering a device from an outlet. Y Do not allow any metal objects to fall into the battery box or enter any of the ports. Y Never insert anything other than a compatible electrical plug into any of the ports on
the battery box. Y Ensure that the battery box is shut and the screws are tight before powering any
devices. Y Do not try to jumpstart when using lithium batteries.

GETTING STARTED

NOTE: If your battery box base was shipped with a battery installed, skip to Step 3.
Step 1: Peel off the plastic film to expose the non-slip surface of the silicone pads.

Step 3: Secure the battery in place by tightening the velcro strap over the battery.

Note: the pads may be washed to regain stickiness.
Step 2: Lower your battery into the battery box base carefully, locating it as centrally as possible on the non-slip pads.

Step 4: Install the battery cables onto the terminal posts of the battery. Ensure the red cable is connected to the positive (+) terminal and both black cables connected to the negative (-) terminal. Tighten firmly but be sure not to over tighten the battery terminals.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

MOUNTING TRAY (OPTIONAL)

Step 1:

Confirm install location of tray, drilling any required holes.
TOP
Install the strap under the tray, sliding the strap into the slots either side.

BOTTOM

Ensure strap is oriented correctly so that the hooks face toward the Power Station when installed.

Securely affix the tray in position using bolts or screws, whichever is applicable.

Ensure that washers are used when installing the tray, to avoid damage.

Note: We do not provide the screws or bolts for this installation.

Step 2: Ensure straps are laying outside the tray before lowering the battery box carefully onto the tray. Attach each strap hook to the corresponding slot in the Power Station.

Step 3: For ease of tightening, place thumbs in each strap loop, pushing firmly downwards. The strap should tighten and hold the Power Station firmly in place.
To release, depress the buckle and pull the strap to loosen.

SURGE PROTECTED CABLE LENGTH 2M
YOUR FLAT BATTERY

KickAss 1000 Amp Jumper Cables have been designed to give you the optimum starting power in the case of a flat starter battery. When it comes to Jumper Cables there is no substitute for quality and these KickAss Jumper Cables have been designed to be tough, durable and most of all, work flawlessly when you need them.
Note: Y Do not use jumper cables with lithium batteries. Y Leave the jumper cables connected to the flat battery for 5 minutes before
attempting to jump start battery.

SWITCH/BUTTONS

The Master Switch
The master switch disconnects everything (except for the large 175 amp Anderson style plug) from the battery including the DC-DC Charger. Turning it off is a quick way to disconnect all devices to ensure your battery is not being drained. Note: The DC-DC Charger + Solar Regulator cannot charge the internal battery while the Master Switch is in the OFF position, nor can an external charger. If another, external battery is connected through one of the IN/OUT connectors, the DC-DC is able to charge that battery, even with the Master Switch in the OFF position - bypassing the internal battery.
The Voltmeter
The inbuilt voltmeter will display the voltage of your battery. For an accurate voltage reading, disconnect all loads and charging sources from the power station and test. Note: The battery voltage table on the top sticker of the battery box is to be used as a guide only, check your battery specifications if you want to be precise.

Benefits of Quick Charge

2 x Dual USB / QC3.0 Outputs

When paired with compatible devices, a Quick Charge-enabled charger delivers more power, allowing the connected device to charge faster. As one of the most widely used of the fast charging technologies, Quick Charge is already in many of your favorite smartphones. If your smartphone is Quick Charge 3.0compatible, you can charge up to 80% in just 35 minutes.

To future-proof your chargers, each new Quick Charge generation is backwards compatible, meaning it will work with the generations that came before.

WARNING: 1. Do not plug in multiple chargers as inputs. 2. Do not use an external charger while the DC-DC Charger is operating. 3. Exceeding 50A combined current rating will trigger the safety breaker. Safety breaker will
auto-reset in time.

CHOOSING THE BATTERY TYPE
The default battery setting is AGM.
When the auxiliary battery is connected, press and hold the mode button for 5 seconds or until the battery light starts flashing. Then select from either GEL, AGM, WET, CALCIUM or LITHIUM and wait for the battery light to stop flashing. When this occurs, your selection is saved.

PULSE

Begins after a continuous float stage of 10 days and pulses power through the battery using the same current and voltage as the absorption stage to maintain charge and desulphate. During this time, if the voltage of the auxiliary battery drops below 12.6V, the charger will restart the charge cycle at Bulk. Once pulse is completed, the charger reverts to float stage.

NOTE: When in float stage, the battery is fully charged. At float stage, when battery voltage drops to 12.7V, the charger will restart charging from BULK stage.

Lithium BMS Sleep Mode & Recovery Feature: Most lithium batteries are built with a Battery Management System (BMS) inside to protect the battery from overcharging, over discharging and extreme temperature changes.
One of the key functions of the BMS is to protect your battery by internally disconnecting the load� when voltage drops below specific parameters, this will then result in the battery entering into a "sleep" mode. � (Load includes any accessories and/or device/s drawing charge from the battery. Eg: fridges, pumps, food sealers, etc)
The KickAss DC-DC MPPT Solar Battery Charger has a lithium battery recovery function. This function has been designed to recover lithium batteries from a sleep mode.
Lithium Battery Sleep Mode Indication: When the lithium battery has entered sleep mode, the charger will show fault codes of output open circuit, until all loads� are disconnected and a sufficient charge source is connected.

IMPORTANT : You must select 'LITHIUM' as the battery type by using the 'MODE' button prior to connecting it to a lithium battery in sleep mode to attempt recovery.
How to Wake a Lithium Battery to Begin Recovery Mode: First disconnect any load connected to the lithium battery.
Secondly, connect Alternator Input or Solar Input� to the KickAss DC-DC MPPT Solar Battery Charger.
Thirdly, connect the output from the DC-DC charger to the lithium battery. The Charger will have all battery types (GEL, AGM, WET CALCIUM, LITHIUM) flashing and the BULK and PULSE LED lights will remain on for 30 seconds (Indicated in diagram above,) before entering Recovery Mode.
�(Alternator and Solar inputs must be above cut-in voltage for DC-DC Charger)

Recovery Mode Indicator: When the lithium battery has entered recovery mode, the KickAss DC-DC MPPT Solar Battery Charger display will have the source indicator illuminated (eg; SOLAR) and the battery type LITHIUM will be flashing. See diagram below.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. What types of batteries can I charge with this battery box? The battery box is compatible with most 12V deep cycle batteries. This includes AGM, Calcium, Wet, Gel or Lithium LiFePO4. Q. If storing my KickAss Power Station for long periods, what should I do to look after my battery's health? An AGM battery is best stored fully charged. The KickAss Power Station is fitted with a Master Switch that allows all outlets to be disconnected from the battery for storage - meaning nothing can drain the battery over time. For short term storage we recommend fully charging the battery with a 240V mains charger, before switching off the Master Switch and storing. For longer term storage, we recommend instead to connect a 240V mains charger to the battery in order to continually maintain a full state of charge - this process is called trickle charging. Q. Is the Power Station waterproof? The KickAss Power Station has been designed to be as resistant to moisture and dust as possible, though it is not waterproof. Do not leave exposed to rain or weather, and do not submerse.
