How to set it up
- Unbox it and charge it fully from a wall outlet before you need it.
- Install the EcoFlow app and pair it so you can see battery level and watts used.
- Plug your fridge into the AC outlet. Check the watts on the screen: a fridge usually uses 100 to 200 W while running.
- Leave the fridge door shut as much as possible to save power.
- Test it now: unplug the house power to the fridge for an hour and watch how fast the battery drops.
- Store it indoors at room temperature, about half to full charge. Top it up every 3 months.
Storing and looking after it
Keep at room temperature, away from damp. Recharge to at least 50% every 3 months; the battery slowly loses charge on a shelf.
