Description

The BASE 5.0 is a user-friendly, high-performing Portable Power Station, designed to revolutionise power accessibility. Equipped to accept significant solar and hybrid renewable inputs, you can keep it charged and deliver clean and efficient power to your essential appliances. Designed for scalable capacity, the BASE 5.0 is built both for off-grid and home backup use. The easy link up system allows you to add up to 15 extra battery units for serious energy storage!

The BASE 5.0 Portable Power Station incorporates an automotive grade, high-quality lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4), which can be cycled 3500 times before its original capacity is reduced to 80%. Having a capacity of 5040Wh, expandable up to a massive 80,640Wh by linking fifteen BASE 5.0-EB extra batteries, the BASE 5.0 has a significant energy reserve, offering extended periods of uninterrupted power supply. Its in-built power management means you can simultaneously charge by multiple sources while using your connected devices. With safety in mind, the BASE 5.0 Battery Management System (BMS) has multiple in-built protection features, preventing overheating, overload, and short-circuit. These limit excessive power draw, overcharge and deep discharge to preserve the longevity of the battery. With short circuit protection and temperature control, you can confidently use this Power Station, knowing that your safety is taken care of. The BASE 5.0 is equipped with a 5kW pure sine wave inverter, capable of powering appliances and devices in situations where there is no access to mains power. It has an Uninterruptible Power Supply function, allowing your appliances to use grid power via the unit and switch over to battery power in 8-20 milliseconds in case of a power cut.

Boasting 15 power output ports, the BASE 5.0 enables you to charge and power multiple devices simultaneously:

AC OUTPUT: AC Sockets x 5 (220V-240V/50Hz) perfect for running high-power mains appliances

DC OUTPUT: Multiple smart-charge ports that self-regulate power to your devices: USB-A Port x 4, USB-C Port x 2, DC 5525 Port x 2, Aux Car Port x 1 and 30A Anderson Output x 1, allowing you to charge and power smartphones, tablets, cameras, laptops, diesel heater, DC fridge, and other devices with DC power inputs.

The BASE 5.0 offers advanced charging capabilities and flexible options to recharge the unit quickly. It supports three charging methods for added convenience: AC Charging: approximately 2.3 hours from 0% to 100% state of charge from a standard wall outlet. Solar and hybrid Renewable Charging: approximately 2.4h from 0% to 100% charge capability. Harness the power of the sun and recharge your power station using compatible solar panels (sold separately). The high-efficiency MPPT charge controller converts solar, wind (DC), or hydroelectric (DC) input, allowing you to go completely off-grid and enjoy the planet's free energy. Onboard Charging: Trickle charge via the vehicle's 12V socket while travelling around.

Items included:
1 x BASE 5.0
1 x AC Charging Cable
1 x Car Charging Cable
1 x MC4 Solar Charging Cable (LSMC4-Anderson)
1 x Anderson to Anderson Cable
1 x Anderson to 7909 Cable

FAQs

1. Which Extra Battery Models are compatible with Sherpa BASE 5.0?
It is only able to be linked to the BASE 5.0-EB model.

2. What devices can BASE 5.0 power?
Please check the wattage rating of your device (on the product information label). If it is below 5000W, you can use BASE 5.0 to power it. For powering multiple devices, please add all wattage ratings together and keep the total below 5000W.
Please note, that some devices with built-in motors/compressors may start at 2-4 times the rated power, which can overload the BASE 5.0, causing temporary safety shut off.
The DC output ports are limited to a 12V, 10A or 12V, 30A load.

3. Can the BASE 5.0 be used as a UPS (uninterruptible power supply)?
BASE 5.0 supports UPS function with a switchover time of 8-20ms.

4. How do I calculate the BASE 5.0 run time?
Runtime is calculated for you and is shown on the display screen at any time you have a device drawing power.
General equation for run time = Total Capacity (5040Wh) x 0.85 (Depth of Discharge) / Load (Device rated power-Watts)

5. Can the BASE 5.0 be charged while discharging?
Yes, it can be charged and discharged simultaneously by mains or DC power.

6. Does the BASE 5.0 support dual charging?
Yes, the BASE 5.0 does support AC and DC charging simultaneously. The DC is prioritised so you can benefit more from renewable charge sources.

7. How should the BASE 5.0 be stored?
Please turn off the unit and store it in a dry, ventilated place at normal room temperature. Do not place
this unit near water sources or a wet/moist environment. For long-term storage, it is recommended to
discharge the battery to 30% every three months and recharge it to 60% to sustain the battery life.

8. Is there any other safety advice?
• This product is IP-rated 21 and is therefore NOT waterproof.
• Pay attention to ventilation and heat dissipation when in use.
• Ensure adequate space for the vent fans to dissipate internal heat when in use.
• Do not use the product in environments where volatile gas may be present.
• When cleaning the product, wipe it with a dry, soft, clean cloth.

9. Can this product be transported by plane?
No, it is classed as dangerous goods and must be shipped by sea and
land only.

10. Is the actual useable capacity of the product consistent with the capacity
stated in the user manual?
All batteries reserve some capacity to prevent them from permanent damage by deep discharge. The actual usable capacity of the BASE 5.0 is therefore lower than the capacity specified in the user manual by approximately 15% so you can use up to 85%.

11. What is the storage capacity of the BASE 5.0?
The BASE 5.0 has a rated capacity of 5040Wh and a useable capacity of approximately 4,284Wh.

12. Does the BASE 5.0 support an Extra Battery scalability?
Yes, up to 15 extra battery packs can be linked to the BASE 5.0 to achieve up to 80,640Wh capacity.

13. Does BASE 5.0 have a built-in MPPT charge controller?
Yes, there is a built-in MPPT controller; use the Anderson port for 18V-140V input (2100W max) for PV (photovoltaic) input or micro wind DC charging.

14. What kind of solar panels should I use to charge BASE 5.0?
Total open circuit voltage: 18-140V
Max input power: 2100W

15. Why does BASE 5.0 not charge at the rated Max AC input power at all times?
The BASE 5.0 has a built-in intelligent Battery Management System (BMS), that automatically adjusts the charging input in response to the battery temperature and State of Charge (SoC), thus protecting the battery and extending its service life.
