6. Operating Instructions

The 3600 Pro-Extra battery functions as an extension of the 3600 Pro main unit. All charging, discharging, and output controls are managed through the main power station.

• Charging: Charge the entire system (main unit + extra battery) by connecting the 3600 Pro main unit to an AC outlet or solar panels using the appropriate cables. The extra battery will charge in conjunction with the main unit.
• Discharging: When devices are connected to the 3600 Pro main unit, power will be drawn from the combined battery capacity.
• Monitoring: Monitor the battery level and power flow via the display on the 3600 Pro main unit or through the Eco Play smart app.

Note: The rated output and other performance characteristics of the 3600 Pro main unit will not change, only the total energy capacity is increased by connecting the extra battery.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Eco Play 3600 Pro-Extra battery.

• Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, ensure it is charged to approximately 50-80% capacity. Recharge every 3-6 months to prevent deep discharge. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Do not use liquid cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
• Battery Health: The LiFePO4 battery is designed for long life. Avoid consistently draining the battery to 0% or charging to 100% if not necessary for immediate use, as this can slightly extend overall cycle life.
