USING THE POWERGORILLA This user guide covers both the powergorilla and the powergorilla tactical as they are identical in functionality and power capability. The differences between the two are the colour of the unit and the colour of the LCD screen. 1. Turning on the powergorilla • To turn on the powergorilla, hold down the on/off button (4) for 3 seconds. Repeat to turn the unit off. 2.
4. Charging devices from powergorilla via USB out port • • • • Turn the powergorilla on by holding down the on/off button (4) for 3 seconds. For 5V USB-C devices, use the USB to USB-C cable (8) or your devices’ own USB-C sync/charging cable. For 5V USB devices, use the USB to USB-C cable (8) along with the female USB-C to micro USB adaptor (12) or your devices’ own USB-C sync/charging cable. The powergorilla will stop charging once the device is fully charged. 5.
7. UPS feature • • • • Turn on the powergorilla by holding down the on/off button (4) for 3 seconds. Tap the on/off button (4) until the 19V setting is show on the LCD screen (5). Connect the universal AC mains charger (6) to the powergorilla and connect it to the electrical socket. If the power supply is interrupted, the powergorilla will stay permanently on when on the 19V setting. 8.
10. Recharging via solar • • • The powergorilla can be charged via the sun using the solargorilla solar panel (not included). The solargorilla (our recommended solar panel for use with the powergorilla) is equipped with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology. This maximises the solar panel’s efficiency for any given weather condition and protects the battery from over-charging or excessive discharging. In low light conditions, this technology improves efficiency by up to 60%.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS • Can I use the powergorilla straight away without charging? Yes, the powergorilla only comes 30% pre-charged. This limit is set according to airline regulations and is ready to use straight out of the box. However, we do recommend fully charging the powergorilla within 7 days of receiving it, and at least once every 4 months thereafter. • What if I can’t find the right tip? • • • My powergorilla shuts down when charging my USB device.
PRODUCT DISPOSAL CERTIFICATIONS • There’s a strange symbol on my screen. When connected to solar, you will see this symbol on v the LCD screen (5). While in this mode the DC out will not function. This is so the powergorilla collects as much power as possible from the solar panel. Please refer to page 13. • Can I simultaneously charge from the DC out? Yes, you can simultaneously charge and use a device at the same time as long as the charging voltage in is the same as the charging voltage out.
