Do not use the Power Cube in an enclosure containing automotive-type lead-acid batteries. These batteries vent explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks.
• When working on electrical equipment, always make sure that someone is nearby to help you in an emergency.
• Limitations on Use: The Power Cube has not been tested for use with life support systems or other medical equipment or devices. The user assumes all risk if medical devices are used with this product.
• Unit is Not Waterproof: Do not expose this unit to rain or heavy moisture.
• Do not disassemble the product in any way or pierce the product with sharp objects.
• During thunderstorms or stormy weather, please disconnect the AC charging or solar charging. If the product is struck by lightning, it may cause electric shock, fire, and other accidents.
CAUTIONS
• Avoid liquids. Do not immerse the product in water or get it wet. It should not be used in humid or rainy environments.
• If the product catches fire, it is recommended to use dry powder and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.
• Do not block, obstruct, or impede the fan’s flow. Do not use or place this product in an unventilated or dusty area. Do not block vent holes on the side of the unit.
• Rest the product on a flat surface to prevent damage from falling over.
• Do not move the product during use.
• Check the product’s integrity and accessories before each use. If damaged or broken, do not use them.

The default standby time for the AC output port is 1 hour. If there is no load for 1 hour, the AC output will automatically turn off to save power.
How can I switch the AC output frequency between 50Hz and 60Hz on the WAGAN TECH LITHIUM CUBE EX6 8838-7?
When there is no AC input, you can switch the AC off-grid output frequency. Long press the AC output button for 2 seconds to switch. The AC output icon on the display will flash 3 times after a successful switch.
How do I use the 12V DC output ports on the WAGAN TECH LITHIUM CUBE EX6 8838-7?
The Lithium Cube has a standard 12V DC automotive socket and two DC5521 plug power ports (10A max shared).
1. After the main power switch is turned on, press the 12V DC power switch to enable the DC output port. The DC symbol should show on the display.
2. Insert the 12V DC accessory plug into either the DC socket or a 5521 DC port.
3. Operate the appliance as usual.
4. Press the 12V DC output power switch again to turn it off.
5. After use, disconnect the accessory plug.
Note: When the 12V DC output power switch is turned on, the power station does not shut down automatically. Overloading the DC port will trip a safety circuit; remove the overload to restore power.
How do I use the USB ports on the WAGAN TECH LITHIUM CUBE EX6 8838-7?
The unit has 2x 12W USB-A ports and 2x 100W USB-C PD charging ports. The USB output is enabled by default after the main power switch is turned on.
1. Press the main power button. The screen will indicate that the USB output is enabled.
2. Insert your USB cable into the desired port.
Note: When the USB output exceeds 3W, the USB output wattage will be displayed on the screen.
What is the EPS (Emergency Backup Power) function and how does it work on the WAGAN TECH LITHIUM CUBE EX6 8838-7?
The WAGAN TECH LITHIUM CUBE EX6 8838-7 supports an EPS (emergency backup power) function. When you connect the unit to the power grid via the AC charging cable, it operates in Bypass mode, meaning AC power comes directly from the grid, not the battery.
If the grid suddenly loses power, the product automatically switches to battery power supply mode within 10ms. At this point, it is in inverter mode (AC power comes from the battery).
This function does not support 0ms switching. Do not connect it to devices that require a high uninterrupted power supply, like data servers or workstations. It is recommended to use only one device at a time to avoid overload protection.
What is the Constant Power function and how do I use it on the WAGAN TECH LITHIUM CUBE EX6 8838-7?
The constant power output function allows you to power appliances that exceed the rated power of the device (600W) without disruption from overload protection. The inverter intelligently regulates the output power to maintain a constant actual output, allowing high-power appliances to operate reliably. This function is not enabled by default and is more suitable for heaters and motors.
Enter/Exit Setting Interface:
Short press the LED light button and the DC output button at the same time to enter the setting interface. Short press the POWER button to cycle through the pages.
Enable/Disable Constant Power (Page 0):
1. On Page 0, short press the LED light button to enter the modification state (the ‘%’ icon will flash).
2. Short press the POWER button to toggle the setting between “On” and “OFF”.
3. Press the LED light button again to save the setting and exit the modification state.
Restore Factory Setting (Page 1):
1. In the setting interface, short press the POWER button to go to Page 1. The default display is 0.
2. Short press the LED light button to enter the modification state.
3. Short press the POWER button to switch to 1.
4. When the value is 1, press the LED light button to perform the factory reset. The displayed value will jump back to 0.
