Concerning safety, both the Power 1000 and the Power 500 have passed 26 product test certifications from the Swiss SGS, and have a 4000- or a 3000-cycle life of approximately 10 years, respectively. The power stations feature an advanced safety system (BMS), which protects them from over-charging and over-discharging. Once power is restored, the batteries begin recharging automatically. Eleven integrated heat dissipation sensors ensure the power stations operate safely at up to 40°C (104°F), and ten fuses...
