Can I upgrade the battery later?
Yes. As long as the replacement battery fits within the maximum internal dimensions and is compatible with the charging system, you can upgrade or replace your battery at any time.
What battery capacity do you recommend?
For most customers, we recommend a 100Ah to 150Ah LiFePO₄ lithium battery, depending on your power requirements and available space.
A 100Ah battery is ideal for weekend camping and running essential accessories, while a 150Ah battery provides extended runtime for larger loads and longer off-grid adventures.
The power station is also compatible with AGM, Gel, Lead Acid and Calcium batteries.
How can I recharge the battery?
The OCAM Portable Power Station offers three convenient charging methods:
- Charge while driving using your vehicle's alternator via the built-in DC-DC charger.
- Charge from compatible solar panels using the integrated MPPT solar regulator.
- Charge from mains power using a compatible external AC battery charger.
This flexibility makes it easy to keep your battery charged whether you're travelling, camping or at home.
For vehicles fitted with Smart Alternators, an optional plug-and-play wiring kit (sold separately) is recommended for correct operation.
Can I connect solar panels?
Yes. The built-in MPPT solar regulator allows you to connect unregulated solar panels directly to the Anderson input, with a maximum solar input voltage of 32V DC.
If your solar panel already has its own regulator fitted, it should be connected using the appropriate charging input rather than through the MPPT input. Refer to the user manual for the recommended connection method.
Is the inverter a Pure Sine Wave inverter?
Yes. The integrated Pure Sine Wave inverter provides clean, stable 240V AC power suitable for sensitive electronics such as:
- Laptops
- CPAP machines
- Battery chargers

Always ensure the connected load does not exceed the inverter's rated capacity.
