6. Operating Instructions
Once connected, the BP3600 expansion battery operates in conjunction with your main PowerMax 6000/3600 unit. The main unit will manage the charging and discharging of the entire battery system.
6.1 Charging the System
Connect your PowerMax 6000/3600 power station to an appropriate power source (AC wall outlet, solar panels, car charger). The BP3600 will charge simultaneously with the main unit. Monitor the charging status on the main unit's display or via the mobile application.
- Ensure all connections are secure before initiating charging.
- Avoid charging in extreme temperatures.
6.2 Discharging the System
When the BP3600 is connected, the main PowerMax unit will draw power from the combined battery capacity. Simply connect your devices to the output ports of the main PowerMax unit as usual. The display will show the remaining battery percentage for the entire system.
- Do not overload the system beyond its rated output capacity.
- For optimal battery life, avoid consistently discharging the battery to 0%.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your BP3600 Expansion Battery, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| BP3600 not recognized by main unit. | Loose connection cable, BP3600 not powered on, faulty cable. | Ensure the connection cable is securely plugged into both units. Power on the BP3600 after the main unit. Try a different connection cable if available. |
| System not charging. | Charging cable not connected, power source issue, main unit fault. | Verify the charging cable is properly connected to the main unit and the power source. Check if the power source is active. Refer to the main PowerMax manual for charging troubleshooting. |
| Reduced runtime after expansion. | Battery not fully charged, high power draw, aging battery. | Ensure both the main unit and expansion battery are fully charged. Reduce the number of connected devices or their power consumption. If the battery is old, its capacity may naturally degrade over time. |
| Unusual noises or smells. | Internal fault, overheating. | Immediately power off the unit and disconnect it from all power sources and devices. Contact customer support. Do not attempt to use the unit. |
