What power output does this charger provide?
This charger provides a power output of 3.3kW.
Why should I use the 10A setting instead of 13A?
Using 10A is recommended for long-term or overnight charging to prevent the wall socket from overheating.

Does it come with a storage bag?
The charger is designed for portability, though we recommend storing it in a dry compartment in your vehicle to protect it from elements.
What does the IP55 rating mean?
It means the unit is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, but it is not waterproof and should not be submerged.
