4. Setup and Connection

Follow these steps to correctly connect your external battery pack to the power station using the P090D-MC4 cable:

1. Identify Components: Locate your BLUETTI EP500Pro power station, the B230 or B300 external battery pack, and the P090D-MC4 connection cable.
2. Connect to External Battery: Take the P090D Battery Expansion Plug end of the P090D-MC4 cable and securely insert it into the corresponding P090D port on your BLUETTI B230 or B300 external battery pack. Ensure it clicks into place or is firmly seated.
3. Connect to Power Station: Connect the MC4 connectors of the P090D-MC4 cable to the DC Charging Cable (often labeled 'D' in diagrams) that comes with your BLUETTI EP500Pro. Then, connect the DC Charging Cable to the appropriate DC input port on your EP500Pro.
4. Secure Connection: Verify that all connections are tight and secure. Some connectors may have a locking mechanism; ensure it is engaged if present.

5. Operation

Once the P090D-MC4 cable is correctly connected, your BLUETTI EP500Pro power station should automatically detect the connected B230/B300 external battery pack. The power station will then manage the charging and discharging of the external battery to expand its overall capacity. Refer to your EP500Pro and B230/B300 user manuals for specific operational details regarding battery management and status indicators.

6. Maintenance

• Regularly inspect the cable and connectors for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage.
• Keep the connectors free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a dry, soft cloth to clean them if necessary.
• When not in use, store the cable in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Avoid storing the cable in a tightly coiled or kinked position to prevent internal wire damage.

7. Troubleshooting

• Cable Not Recognized: Ensure both ends of the cable are fully and securely connected to the external battery and the power station's DC charging cable. Check if the external battery pack is powered on.
• No Charging/Discharging: Verify that the power station and external battery are both powered on and functioning correctly. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Refer to the respective device manuals for further troubleshooting.
• Loose Connection: If the connection feels loose, ensure the locking mechanism (if present on your specific P090D connector) is properly engaged.
