Frequently Asked Questions - NPS600 Nitecore

How to turn on the NPS600 station?

Press and hold the main switch to turn the device on or off. Once on, briefly press the output switches to activate the corresponding ports.

How to charge the station?

Connect the station via the DC input port to a wall outlet using the supplied adapter or to a solar panel (max 100 W). The screen displays the input power and the charging bar flashes during charging. It stops when the battery is full (100%).

What if the AC output does not work?

Check the LCD screen: if the battery level is too low, the AC output automatically shuts off. Recharge the station. Also make sure the AC output switch is on and that the power of connected devices does not exceed the rated specifications.

Can I use the station outdoors in the rain?

No. Do not expose the station to rain or moisture. Use it in a dry and ventilated environment. Avoid temperatures above 40°C.

What devices can I plug into the USB output?

The USB output is compatible with smartphones, tablets, cameras, etc. The USB-A QC (orange) and USB-C PD ports provide fast charging for certain devices.

How to clean the station?

Use a dry or antistatic cloth to clean the surface. Never use water, solvents, or abrasive products.

What to do when the battery is almost empty?

The station triggers an alarm and the AC output automatically shuts off to protect the battery. Recharge it as soon as possible. The alarm triggers around 10% remaining battery.

Can I use a solar panel from another brand?

It is recommended to use official Nitecore solar panels to ensure efficiency and safety. The efficiency of third-party panels may vary depending on weather conditions.

Why does the station shut down automatically?

If the station is turned on with all ports deactivated, it will automatically shut down after about 10 minutes to save energy. This is normal.

Where can I find spare parts or accessories?

Spare parts and accessories (such as the wall adapter or solar panels) are available from authorized Nitecore dealers. Use only official accessories to avoid risks.
