Charging Times:

-AC Adapter: 18V/3A (6.5hrs)

That's probably because it's basically always charging. With so much load shedding it likely never gets to fully charge properly.

The device is recommended to be used as a Power Station; not as an always-on, pass-through solution. It is not recommended to use the device while charging or to leave it constantly plugged into the mains, as this can cause battery degradation.

No guys, I think this thing imhas some kind of fault. I left it unplugged all night outside in the cold. This morning, the fan is still running. I have asked for a return.

You're aware that most ups can require 12 hours of uninterrupted power to charge
