• Battery Care: The LiFePO4 battery is designed for many cycles. Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently to extend its lifespan.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Flashfish BP030B, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Unit Not Turning On: Ensure the battery is charged. If completely depleted, connect to an AC outlet for a few minutes before attempting to power on.
• No Output from Ports: Verify that the specific output (AC, DC, USB) is enabled by pressing its respective power button. Check if the connected device is working correctly and within the power station's wattage limits.
• Slow Charging: Ensure all charging cables are securely connected. For solar charging, confirm the solar panel is in direct sunlight and free from obstructions. Consider dual charging (AC + DC) for faster rates.
• Overload Protection: If the unit shuts down unexpectedly, it may be due to an overload. Disconnect some devices and restart the power station. Ensure total wattage of connected devices does not exceed 300W (or 600W surge).
