Error codes and troubleshooting

CodeMeaningWhat to doManual page
Temperature Alarm IconAppears on the display when the power station is too hot or too cold.If too hot, remove the load, let the unit cool, and use it in a cooler place. If too cold, move the station to a room-temperature location for at least 1 hour, if possible, and let it warm before trying again.8
OverheatingIf the power station's battery gets too warm, the temperature alarm icon appears on the panel.Remove the load, let the unit cool, and use it in a cooler environment if possible. Press the appropriate power button to reset the circuit. Let the fans run a few minutes to cool the inverter, then reduce the load and try again.11
OverloadIf too much power is drawn, the station cuts off power to protect itself and the battery. Motor-driven devices can need up to 3 times their running power at startup and may be difficult or impossible to use.Disconnect the load and press the appropriate power button on the panel to reset the circuit.11

FAQ

How long will the WEN PP448i run a refrigerator?

About 8 hours for a typical 120 W refrigerator that runs 35 % of the time, after inverter and depth-of-discharge losses.

Can the WEN PP448i start a sump pump or well pump?

Starting surge matters more than running watts: this unit is rated 1000 W peak. That is below a typical 1/2 HP sump pump start (about 2150 W); check your pump label. Use the calculator with your exact pump.
