10. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
1. What type of battery is in my KODAK PPS800?
KODAK PPS800 contains a 756Wh lithium ion battery pack. Lithium ion batteries are much smaller and
lighter than normal lead-acid batteries and also can be cycled many more times.
2. How do I know if my KODAK PPS800 is charged?
To check the charge level of your KODAK PPS800, refer to the digital indicator display. The battery icon
indicates the battery status of total charge remaining. KODAK PPS800 can be used until it is empty but
we recommend to recharge when the level is below 20%.
3. Can I charge the KODAK PPS800 while supplying power at the same time?
Yes and no.
The AC output does not support simultaneous charging and discharging.
When you charge your KODAK PPS800 via solar panel, it is possible to use it while charging.
Please note, however, that this only makes sense with a remaining battery capacity of more than 10%.
ATTENTION
The inverter output is a pure sine wave.
It is suitable for use with a device with an electric motor.

Page 16
11. STORAGE AND DOWNTIME MAINTENANCE
1. Charging to maximum capacity
Fully charge KODAK PPS800 prior to long-term storage. Charge it in a suitable working temperature
(-10 - 55 °C (14 - 131 °F)) at least once every three months and store the power supply unit only in a dry and
dust-free environment which is out of reach of children. Suitable storage temperature: 0 - 40 °C (32 - 113 °F).
Keep out of direct sunlight. Make sure that the unit rests on a stable surface.
2. System shutdown
If the system shuts down automatically because of lower battery capacity, please recharge it.
3. Cleaning
Wipe away any dirt using a damp cloth.
ATTENTION
Gasoline, thinner, kerosene, petroleum, etc. have the characteristics of solvents.
Do not use.
4. Failure
Failure to maintain your KODAK PPS800 by following these steps can result in battery damage which will
void the product warranty.
12. SERVICE LIFE OF LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
Charge, supply current between -10 - 55 °C (14 - 131 °F). Store between 0 - 40 °C (32 - 113 °F).
Using the battery at temperatures outside the lower and upper limits reduces the battery‘s running time.
Do not connect a continuous load of more than 500 W.
The unit‘s output stops automatically in case of overloading, since it reduces the running time of the
battery.
Do not continue to charge the battery after it has charged completely.
Pay attention to the indicated capacity. Do not charge the battery once it has been fully charged or the
charging process has been concluded. Otherwise the service life of the lithium battery may be reduced.
Switch o the unit if it is not being used.
Unnecessary power consumption also reduces the running time of the lithium battery.
Fully charge the battery prior to placing it in storage.
Fully charge the power supply unit prior to lengthy periods of non-use for storage and recharge the unit
at least once a year. After prolonged storage, it may be necessary to charge and discharge the battery
several times in order to reach full capacity.
