Brought to you by TheToolCollective.com

Overview

This schedule is designed for the maintenance and care of your Jackery power station, particularly if it's a lithium-ion model used on weekends and stored indoors. Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Monthly Cleaning Schedule

Week 1: External Cleaning

1. Unplug All Devices
   Ensure that all devices are disconnected from the power station.
2. Wipe Down the Exterior
   Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
3. Inspect for Dust and Debris
   Check vents and ports for dust buildup. Use a small brush or compressed air to clean hard-to-reach areas.

Week 2: Battery and Ports Maintenance

1. Check Battery Health
   Monitor the battery status through the display panel. Note any irregularities.
2. Clean Charging Ports
   Use a cotton swab lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol to clean the charging ports.
3. Inspect Cables and Connectors
   Look for any fraying or damage in the cables and connectors. Replace if necessary.

Week 3: Functional Testing

1. Perform a Load Test
   Connect a load (like a lamp) to test the output. Ensure that it operates without interruption.
2. Check for Overheating
   After a short period of use, touch the power station to check for excessive heat. If overheating occurs, discontinue use and consult the manual.
3. Update Firmware (if applicable)
   Check if there are any firmware updates for your model and follow the manufacturer's instructions to update.

Week 4: Storage Preparation

1. Charge Battery
   Ensure the power station is fully charged before storage. This helps maintain battery health.
2. Store in a Cool, Dry Place
   Place the power station in an indoor location that is cool and dry. Avoid areas with high humidity or extreme temperatures.
3. Cover with a Dust Cloth
   Use a dust cover to protect the unit from dust accumulation during storage.

Storage Tips

• Temperature Range: Store in a temperature range between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C).
• Avoid Full Discharge: Do not store the power station completely discharged. Aim for a charge level of around 50% for optimal battery health.
• Regular Checks: Even while in storage, check the power station every few months to ensure it maintains its charge and remains in good condition.
