Compatibility checklist

  • Grounded appliance-rated extension cord

    Cord ampacity must meet the appliance nameplate and run length; keep fully uncoiled.

  • P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt electricity monitor

    120V AC loads only; do not exceed the meter nameplate rating.

04 · Setup sequence

Test the kit before it matters

  1. 01

    Measure

    Confirm real device draw and the exact cables, voltage, polarity, and connectors.

  2. 02

    Charge

    Fully charge the station and every independent battery in the checklist.

  3. 03

    Connect

    Route cables safely, then connect required loads before comfort items.

  4. 04

    Rehearse

    Run the actual manifest long enough to catch heat, noise, cable, or fit problems.
