Lion Energy Safari ME Expansion Pack Overview

The Lion Energy Safari ME Expansion Pack (ME-XP) is a dedicated battery expansion module for the Lion Energy Safari ME portable power station. Connecting directly to the back of the Safari ME, it triples the total system energy storage to nearly 3,000 watt-hours combined, dramatically extending the runtime of your solar generator setup without the need to purchase a second complete power station. Built with LiFePO4 chemistry and rated for 3,500 charge cycles, it is one of the most efficient ways to scale your Lion Energy system.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Triples Safari ME Storage: When connected to the Safari ME, the ME-XP brings total system capacity to approximately 3,000Wh, enough to run demanding loads for extended periods.
  • Direct Plug-In Connection: Connects to the Safari ME via a dedicated port on the back of the power station. No tools, adapters, or complex wiring required.
  • 3,500 Charge Cycles: LiFePO4 chemistry rated for 3,500 full charge cycles at full depth of discharge, delivering exceptional long-term value per kilowatt-hour stored.
  • 4-Hour Solar Recharge: The combined Safari ME and ME-XP system can be fully recharged via solar in as little as 4 hours using multiple compatible solar panels.
  • 2-Year Charge Retention: Holds its charge for up to 2 years in storage without maintenance, keeping your expanded system ready for emergency use at any time.
  • LiFePO4 Safety: Iron phosphate chemistry is thermally stable and safe for indoor use, eliminating the fire and fume risks associated with other energy storage technologies.
  • 45 lbs: Portable at just over 45 pounds, making it manageable to transport to campsites, vehicles, and off-grid locations.

Who Is This For?

The Safari ME Expansion Pack is designed for Safari ME owners who need more runtime than the base unit alone can provide. It is ideal for extended camping trips, off-grid living setups, emergency preparedness systems, and any situation where running power-hungry appliances for extended periods requires more than the Safari ME's base 1,000Wh of storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can the Lion Energy Safari ME Expansion Pack power?

The ME-XP is an energy storage expansion only and does not have its own output ports. All loads are connected to the Safari ME. With the ME-XP connected, the combined system can power refrigerators, power tools, air compressors, TVs, CPAP machines, and other high-draw appliances for significantly longer periods than the Safari ME alone.

How long will the Lion Energy Safari ME Expansion Pack run on a full charge?

The ME-XP expands total system storage to approximately 3,000Wh. At a 500W average load, that represents roughly 5 to 6 hours of runtime. At a 200W average load, expect approximately 12 to 15 hours. Solar recharging during the day can extend effective runtime indefinitely in good sun conditions.

Can the Lion Energy Safari ME Expansion Pack be charged with solar panels?

Yes. When connected to the Safari ME, the combined system accepts solar charging through the Safari ME's solar input port. Using multiple compatible 24V 100W panels, the full ME plus ME-XP system can be recharged in approximately 4 hours.

Does the Lion Energy Safari ME Expansion Pack arrive ready to use?

Yes. The ME-XP ships assembled and connects directly to the back of the Safari ME with the included cable. The Safari ME must be purchased separately to use this expansion pack.
