Introduction Hello there! Congratulations. You are the lucky owner of the LifePower A2. We are proud to present you the smallest AC powerpack with the highest power rating available. We specifically designed it to be massively powerful, yet compact and lightweight so you can take it with you anywhere you’d like. The A2 will keep you powered, no matter where you are.
Product Overview The LifePower A2 is a portable power supply unit that offers both an AC outlet and a DC USB output. It stores energy that can be used to power and/or charge a wide variety of applications and devices at any location you desire. At the front you will find the two output ports: The builtin AC outlet port accepts AC power plugs and is capable of powering all devices that consume 120W or less. The technical specifications can be found on page 16.
The back side features two input ports to charge the A2 and one ON/OFF button: On top of device there is an indicator strip that shows functionality modes and capacity. Before using the A2, we assume that you have read all safety instructions preceding this introduction and that you will read the operation instructions below. Upon arrival the A2 is partly charged. We suggest that you fully charge it before using it the first time.
Operation Power Up Always first plug in the device you wish to power or charge BEFORE turning the A2 ON. Turning ON the A2: There is only one button, by pushing it once quickly ‘click’, the A2 will power on. By pressing and holding* it, the A2 shuts down. It’s as simple as that! If you wish to shut down the AC output, but keep the USB port activated, simply press the button twice quickly. The green LED will fade but the blue capacity LEDs will still be lit, to indicate this state.
Indicator Lights Powering-up is indicated by a RED light (initiate) followed by a GREEN light (AC ON). The A2’s output ports are now active (AC and USB) and the BLUE lights will show the remaining capacity. The RED light also indicates error situations such as an overload (e.g. when trying to power a device that demands too much current). The A2 will automatically reboot when this occurs, if however the light remains RED, please shut down the plugged-in device immediately.
What you can charge Number of charges What you can power NOTE: The above values are for continuous operation. When no load is detected, the A2 will shut down automatically after 30s to ensure that it is not left on unintentionally. This may cause unwanted shut-down situations for very low power AC loads that consume less than 2.3mA or <0.5W.
Recharging To charge the A2, simply connect the supplied charger to the DC Charger port and plug it into your wall outlet. Charging will start automatically. Capacity leds will light up and increase according to the state of charge. When fully charged, the strip is fully lit and the charger should be disconnected. You can use the USB OUT port whilst charging the A2. However you cannot simultaneously charge and use the AC OUT port (to ensure your safety and prevent over-heating).
PRO USER GUIDE Battery Pack Tips & Tricks We’ve listed some great advice for those that want to get the most out of their LIFEPOWER A². These tips & tricks ensure extended lifetime and maximal performance for all your lithium based batteries (so also those of your phone, tablet, laptop, ...!). There are two situations that might destroy a lithium cell: over discharge (under-voltage) and over charge (over-voltage).
Battery Capacity If you frequently charge and discharge your A2, charging only 80% of your battery can not only extend the battery’s lifespan, but also save you a lot of time: near the end of a charging cycle less and less power will flow into the battery. Charging 80% of the A2 will take around 2hours, while the final 20% will take another hour. Capacity Disclaimer: To calculate how long you can power a certain device with the A2, simply divide the total capacity ( 95Wh) with the power consumption (e.g.

Product Label Air Travel Notification You are allowed to carry devices with built-in Li-ion batteries up to 100Wh, without any limitation. This means you may carry multiple LifePower A2s in Checked and Carry-on baggage. Some airlines however restrict battery powered equipment in Check-in baggage, but you may always take them with you as Carry-on. These guidelines are approved by IATA and FAA as described in 49 CFR 175.10(a)(18) as of July 30, 2015.
