❌ Short condition in Bee

The Bee is designed to be powered using a 12 volt accessory outlet. While the Bee may be powered using a USB-C charging port, not all vehicles supply enough power to these ports to successfully power the Bee.

The Bee accepts a maximum direct voltage of 20V, which is safely provided with the included power adapter. Some vehicles output more than 20V through accessory outlets. Damage to the Bee may occur if powered at greater than 20V. Reference your vehicle’s owner’s manual to confirm the voltage of your outlets and charging ports prior to installation.
