FLEX USER MANUAL v 1.2
1. When you unbox your Flex Modular
System, PLEASE DO NOT throw away
the packaging. It may come in handy
down the road in case of damage from
shipping or handling, or any issues
requiring a return.
2. Before stacking your Flex modules
together, remove the plastic protectors
from the large connector on the bottom
of each module and the foot protectors
from all but the bottom module. These
protectors (see right) prevent damage in
shipping and are removable to allow the
modules to stack properly.
DO NOT attempt to stack the Flex
modules with these protectors in place.
Doing so may cause damage to the
connection points.
You can use these protectors on the
bottom module in your stack to protect
fragile surfaces, but be aware they are
designed to be removed and may fall off
on their own. If you choose to afx them
permanently to one module, be aware
that module will always need to be the
bottom module of your Flex system.
3. Next, charge your Flex Modular
System to 100% by plugging a Standard
Wall Charger (included) into the DC port
on the left side of your Flex Battery.
For more pro tips on how to keep your
battery in the best shape possible, see
the Flex Battery section of this manual.
For instructions on connecting multiple
Flex Batteries together, see Using
Your Flex system with Multiple Flex
Batteries.
4. 4. When your Flex Batteries are fully
charged, plug a device into each output
to make sure that nothing was damaged
in shipping and handling.
5. Keep your Flex modules connected
together as much as possible, so the
batteries remain equalized.

FIRST THINGS FIRST
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE SAFETY TIPS MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR FLEX MODULAR
SYSTEM, RISK OF FIRE, WARRANTY VOID, AND/OR BODILY HARM. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE
CONTACT OUR U.S.-BASED TECH SUPPORT TEAM (SEE CONTACT US).
NEVER connect an input exceeding 90
volts, e.g. the open circuit voltage (VOC)
on solar panels, to the blue EC8 charging
port (right side) on the Flex 1500, Flex
DC, or Flex MPPT Supercharger.
NEVER exceed output and input
connector ratings. Failure to do so may
result in unit damage, re, or electrical
shock. You can nd these ratings under
Tech Specs.
NEVER store a Flex Battery in hot
environments, such as a hot vehicle.
Lithium batteries are sensitive to
extremely high temperatures. For more
information see Tech Specs.
NEVER touch, stick metal objects into,
or otherwise come in contact with the
AC outlet terminals on the Flex 1500.
Doing so risks death, serious injury, and
electrical shock. These outlets supply
power identical to that of a normal home
wall outlet and, while ungrounded, still
present many of the same dangers.
NEVER operate the Flex system in wet
conditions. Allow any condensation to
dry completely before powering-up or
charging your Flex system. If your Flex
system does get wet, contact us to
ensure it’s safe before attempting to use
it again.
NEVER attempt to repair your Flex
system or replace the internal
battery yourself; any manipulation or
disassembly of any Flex module will
void all warranties, including the 10-
Year No “B.S.” or 10-Year Pro-Rated
Warranties. Any tampering with the
warranty stickers (black dot with Inergy
logo) may also void the warranty. For
questions about repair/service, please
contact our U.S.-based Tech Support
team (see Contact Us). There are no
user-serviceable parts inside.
ALWAYS keep your Flex system clean
and dry. Regularly inspect for dirt, dust,
or moisture. Clean connectors with
canned air for electronics. Never use an
air compressor to clean or dust-off your
system.
NEVER use a generic or off-brand
charger to charge your Flex Battery.
Use only the Inergy-supplied charger
specically for this device.
02
IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES
NEVER connect your Flex AC outlets to
another power source. Doing so will
permanently damage your device and
void your warranty. These outlets are
output only, and any such damage is
easily detected when diagnosing Flex
system failures.
BE AWARE that the Standard Wall and
Quick Wall chargers can get hot when in
use. Charge your Flex system in a well-
ventilated, dry area. We recommend
placing your charger on top of the Flex
system while charging; the aluminum
case works as an effective heat sink for
the charger.
TAKE CARE not to leave anything
plugged into the DC outputs that are
unsafe if left to run unattended (cooking
equipment, and heaters), or other loads
you don’t want draining your battery
unexpectedly.
NEVER use or store any Flex module
or Flex Battery in any orientation other
than standing straight up. The Flex
Modular System is designed to be
stored and operated while sitting on a
at, secure surface.
ALWAYS secure the Flex system with
straps or cords when using it in a
vehicle to protect against excessive
vibration or impacts?
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE SAFETY TIPS MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR FLEX MODULAR
SYSTEM, RISK OF FIRE, WARRANTY VOID, AND/OR BODILY HARM. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE
CONTACT OUR U.S.-BASED TECH SUPPORT TEAM (SEE CONTACT US).

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Currently, the Flex Modular System is
made up of four unique Flex modules:
1. Flex 1500 Power Console
2. Flex DC Power Console
3. Flex Battery
4. Flex MPPT Supercharger
With these modules, you can create a
Flex system that is perfectly tailored
to your present needs and save
money in the future by replacing/
adding individual modules instead of
purchasing an entirely new system.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR FLEX
Flex 1500 Power Station
Most people will start with a Flex 1500
Power Station, which is the combination
of the Flex 1500 Power Console and a
single Flex Battery.
From there, you can choose to expand
your battery storage capacity and
solar charging rate by adding more
Flex Batteries and additional MPPT
solar inputs with the Flex MPPT
Supercharger. The possibilities are
almost endless.
08
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR FLEX
Flex DC Power Station
People who use only DC power, such
as off-grid or van life enthusiasts,
may choose the Flex DC Power
Station, which is the combination
of the Flex DC Power Console and a
single Flex Battery.
