Setup checklist before your first trip or outage

  1. Charge to 100% the night before; confirm firmware is current.
  2. List devices and run the sizing tool with a 15% buffer.
  3. Label fridge / CPAP / router as priority loads — skip space heaters if Wh is tight.
  4. Run a seasoning cycle once (full → ~20% → full) so the BMS percentage matches camp reality.
  5. If you need daytime top-up, match panels to input limits (solar rankings).
  6. Still unsure battery vs gas? Read power station vs generator.
