FAQ

The myCOOLMAN Air Con operates from AC Electricity, it can be used when the vehicle/caravan are plunged into mains power or a generator
Depending on how the wiring is set up, the myCOOLMAN AC is also capable of running from DC batteries via a suitable pure sine wave inverter

The myCOOLMAN AC comes with a 360mm x 360mm and 400mm x 400mm mounting plate so it can be used wherever the existing cutout is either of these sizes
If replacing a different rooftop AC unit, ensure the myCOOLMAN unit dimensions will fit between solar panels etc

Yes the myCOOLMAN AC has Bluetooth connectivity, simply download the myCOOLMAN AC APP and pair with the unit and you’ll be able to monitor & control the unit whilst within Bluetooth range. You will also be able to operate the unit via the remote control, or even the touch screen display on the ADB itself

The myCOOLMAN Air Con can be fitted to any vehicle with 20-100mm roof thickness – we can supply additional spacers to suit roof thickness as required

The myCOOLMAN Air Con weighs in at under 36kg including the ADB unit which is relatively lightweight considering the performance capability of the unit

The myCOOLMAN Air Con is suited to Caravans/Vehicles up to 8m in length

Yes the myCOOLMAN AC is both a heater & air con depending on what you require in the conditions you’re in.
It has a 3000W max output in either cool or heat mode

Yes the myCoolman is an inverter style AC which means it has a soft start feature. At startup there is no requirement for a large in rush of current like with non inverter style AC’s
The Unit gradually powers up then settles at quite an efficient power consumption rate to allow reasonable run time from a large battery bank

You require at least 400a of suitable lithium batteries & a high quality pure sine wave inverter of minimum 2000w rating (We recommend the 2000W or 3000W myCOOLMAN Inverter/Charger)
On average the AC will consume between 60-100a per hour from a 12V battery bank

The myCOOLMAN Air Con will operate in a temperature range of +2 Degrees to +55 Degrees

While it is a fairly straightforward process we always encourage that you get qualified people/companies to carry out any installations to ensure proper operation. This device also involves AC electrical work that MUST be completed by a fully qualified & authorised electrician
Installation must follow guidelines set out in the owners manual – Please always refer to that information during the process

We strongly recommend being ‘realistic’ when setting your desired temperature on the myCOOLMAN Air Con unit
When conditions are extreme (hot/humid) it is best to set the AC to 24 degrees initially and monitor temps – if you select 16 degrees, it is unlikely the van will reach the desired temp at all & will just be running constantly for no real temperature gain. The myCOOLMAN AC is a very powerful & efficient unit but operates best when desired temperatures are sensible in extreme conditions

With our removable baskets and detachable lids, cleaning is a breeze.

The run time depends on battery charge level, ambient conditions & fridge
set temperature.
1008Wh: In general, the myCOOLMAN Energy 1008Wh will power a 4-
fridge for up to 48 hours without any charge input assistance.
1920Wh: You can expect the myCOOLMAN Energy 1920Wh will power a
fridge for up to 96 hours without any charge input assistance.

Yes, you can charge the powerstation/s with AC, DC or Solar power while
using them to operate devices & appliances.

1008Wh: Yes - You can use the Anderson plug outlet, cigarette socket or
even the dual AC power outlets to power portable fridges (using the AC
outlets for DC fridges will use more power than is necessary though) as
long as you don’t exceed circuit protection levels. When doing this we
recommend using solar to keep the power station charged.
1920Wh: Yes - You can use the Anderson plug outlets, cigarette socket or
even the dual AC power outlets to power portable fridges (using the AC
outlets for DC fridges will use more power than is necessary though) as
long as you don’t exceed circuit protection levels. When doing this we
recommend using solar to keep the power station charged.

Yes, the only limit is the individual circuit protection levels for each
socket/s. If using multiple sockets at the same time off grid, especially with
high draw appliances like fridges, kettles, toasters etc, we recommend
having solar panels connected to keep the powerstation topped up
All of the Outlets have separate circuit protection to prevent issues
including the AC, DC & USB

Please connect your UNREGULATED solar panel to the yellow solar/dc
inlet charge socket using the adaptor leads provided to connect to your
portable or fixed solar panel. Ensure your solar panel specs are within
the powerstation requirements. We recommend myCOOLMAN 100W &
200W solar blankets for ease of use

The display is very accurate when the power pack has only a small load on
it. If a fridge compressor is running for example, the display will read less
than what charge is actually in the battery – It will still be reasonably
accurate but slightly less so that will no/little load applied

1008Wh: The myCOOLMAN Energy 1008Wh powerstation will cycle 2000
times without any reduction in capacity across it’s life
1920Wh: The myCOOLMAN Energy 1920Wh powerstation will cycle 4000
times without any reduction in capacity.
NOTE: A Cycle is whenever the powerstation is discharged below 80%
SOC (State of Charge)

1008Wh: Yes - the myCOOLMAN 1008Wh Power Station has a built in
MPPT controller. This will handle up to 200W of solar in perfect conditions.
1920Wh: Yes – the myCOOLMAN 1920Wh Power Station has a built in
MPPT controller. This will handle up to 400W of solar in perfect conditions.
NOTE – Using solar panels that generate more charge than what the
controller is rated to wont damage anything, it just means that only up
to max rating will flow through the integrated solar controller if
required

No. The integrated chargers will ensure the powerstation only receives the
charge it requires. We recommend charging it fully every 3 months when in
storage and also the night before a trip
NOTE – Don’t leave the unit connected to charge indefinitely while in
storage, the battery will hold full charge for extended periods without
any input due the integrated BMS system

1008Wh: The AC Outlet sockets can be used to power any appliance/s
with a combined/total constant power consumption of 1000W or less
1920Wh: The AC Outlet sockets can be used to power any appliance/s
with a combined/total constant power consumption of 2000W or less
NOTE – The power requirements for appliances can be located in the
owners manual or on the appliance specifications label

The myCOOLMAN Energy powerstations both have boost modes in the
inverters. These are limited to 30 seconds if using appliances with a high
startup power consumption requirement – this information will be available
on the appliance specification label or in the owners manual

Once you have downloaded the free myCOOLMAN Energy Powerstation
APP to your smart device and connected it to you powerstation it will allow
you to monitor the live data from the powerstation (input/output/SOC etc)
as well as being able to customize selected settings
Please review the owners manual of the powerstation for further
information

Both powerstations have integrated cooling fans to ensure the powerstation
electronics & battery cells are kept cool, this is controlled automatically via
an integrated temperature sensors inside the powerstation
NOTE – The cooling fans/s will only operate when required – usually if
there is a very high charge/discharge occurring within the
powerstation

Yes, the myCOOLMAN Powerstations both have high & low temperature
cutouts. These are designed to protect the powerstation electronics and
lithium cells from damage
Detailed information can be found in the owners manual on these and any
other error messages the appear on the display

The powerstation can be used inside or outside without any problems. We
recommend avoiding exposing it to wet weather or excessive heat/freezing
temperatures during use or while in storage to prevent operational issues

Yes both powerstations are capable of powering any model of starlink you
have. The larger Gen 2 / Gen 3 models generally require 240V to operate
so you’ll need to use the AC Inverter in the powerstation.
The starlink MINI will operate from AC, DC or USB C (20v/100W) if you
have the appropriate cables, so there are many options to power the MINI
from the myCOOLMAN Powerstations

No – Solar panels must be connected directly to a compatible power
storage device ie Powerstation or Battery. The job of the solar panel is to
convert sunshine into usable energy, it then feeds that energy into a solar
controller to be converted into a stable electrical current, suitable to charge
the connected storage device

100W: You can expect up to 5A per hour from your 100W solar blanket in
perfect solar conditions (full sun / optimum angle).
200W: You can expect up to 11A per hour from your 200W solar charger in
perfect solar conditions (full sun / optimum angle)

There are a few reasons why your solar blanket won't provide the max
possible output even in full sun:

• The battery/powerpack it is charging is full or near full – The solar
  controller restricts charging as the battery gets full to prevent
  overcharging
• The ambient temperature is high – Solar performs better in lower
  ambient temperatures
• The solar panels are shaded or not angled correctly to the sun –
  Even partial shade will severely limit the solar output
• Even with an efficient MPPT controller fitted, the solar blanket will
  perform best in the strongest sunlight, 10am – 2pm are the most
  effective times of day for gathering energy from the sun

Yes, you can, however you must ensure the unregulated charge output
(around 23V) is regulated before it gets to any battery/powerpack cells
The myCOOLMAN Energy powerstations both have integrated MPPT solar
controllers, they require unregulated solar voltage to operate – You must
bypass the controller fitted to the myCOOLMAN Energy solar blankets
when connected to our powerstations
NOTE – For connections to other devices you must consult the
owners manual for specific instructions on solar connection & use

Yes, the myCOOLMAN Energy solar blankets can be used to charge any
12V battery or powerstation that accepts a solar charge. They come with a
MPPT solar controller for charging batteries that don’t have an integrated
solar controller, it can also easily be bypassed to allow connection of
unregulated solar to powerstations that have integrated solar controllers

The eyelets are provided to allow the solar blanket to be setup/used in
different ways

• Allow the solar blanket to be hung up off the ground
• Allow it to be pegged to the ground for added security
• Allow the legs to be pegged to the ground to prevent wind
  knocking the panel over and stopping it operating

While the blanket itself is water resistant, we don’t advise leaving it out
overnight, in the rain or even in stormy weather as the blanket won’t be
performing anyway due no sunlight. The MPPT controller must not get wet
or it could malfunction/fail prematurely

An inverter charger is essentially two critically important products in one –
The inverter side receives 12V DC power from a battery bank and inverts it
up to pure sign wave 240V Output to power any AC appliance that requires
240V AC power to operate
The Charger side receives 240V power externally ie caravan park,
generator etc, which then powers up the multi stage smart charger to turbo
charge the connected battery bank

Yes both of these inverter chargers are lithium compatible – simply flick the
selector switch to battery type as required

Pure Sine Wave (PSW) output simply means that the AC output from the
inverter is smoother, cleaner & more reliable than other inverter styles
which means that they are safe to connect even sensitive AC powered
appliances to without the potential to cause damage to the appliance

2000W – Max continuous output is 2000W – there is a 30 minute boost
function to 2400W
3000W – Max continuous output is 3000W – there is a 30 minute boost
function to 3600W

Both versions of the myCOOLMAN Energy Inverter/Chargers have a
maximum 1500W (150A @ 10V) output to fast charge even large capacity
battery banks. The charger is fully adjustable if that amount of output is not
required for the specific battery bank being charged

The myCOOLMAN Inverter/Chargers can operate any AC appliance as
long as it, or a combination of appliances don’t exceed the Inverter/Charger
output ratings
All of that information can be found on the appliance under manual or spec
sticker for reference – then calculate totals to see if you remain under the
inverter/charger ratings

Yes please refer below to wattage loads vs battery bank with approx.
runtimes
