The default standby time of the AC Output port is 12 hours. Without any load access for 12 hours, the AC Power Button will automatically turn off. Please turn off the AC power button when not in use to save power consumption.
3.4 AC Charging
EcoFlow's X-Stream fast charge technology offers 660W of max input power for AC charging. In case of unusual situations where the AC input current remains higher than 10A, the X-Stream charging input port will initiate a self-protection function, and the Overload Protection Switch on the product will automatically pop up. After confirming that there is no product failure, you can press the Overload Protection Switch to resume charging.
AC Charging Setup: An AC Charging Cable connects the product to a power source, enabling X-Stream Fast Charging with 660W Max input Power, allowing for a full charge in under 2 hours.
3.5 Solar Charging
Users can connect solar panels in series to recharge the product. The product supports 10-25V DC input, 12A max current, and 200W max charging power.
Solar Charging Setup: Solar panels are connected in series via MC4 connectors to the solar charging input port. When using an EcoFlow solar panel, follow the instructions provided with the panel. Before connecting, ensure the solar panel's output voltage is within 25V to avoid product damage.
3.6 Car Charging
Users can recharge the product through the Car Charging Input Port. It supports 12V car chargers and an 8A Max charging current. Please charge using the car charger after starting the car to avoid failure to start due to insufficient car battery. Ensure that the Car Charging Input Port and the Car Charging Cable are in good condition. EcoFlow is not responsible for losses or damages caused by failures to follow instructions.
3.7 APP
The EcoFlow App allows users to control and monitor EcoFlow power stations remotely. Read the EcoFlow App user guide and access the download link here: https://ecoflow.com/pages/ecoflow-app
Privacy Policy: By using EcoFlow Products, Applications, and Services, users consent to the EcoFlow Term of Use and Privacy Policy, accessible via the "About" section of the "User" page on the EcoFlow App or on the official EcoFlow website at https://ecoflow.com/pages/terms-of-use and https://ecoflow.com/pages/privacy-policy.
3.8 X-Boost
With EcoFlow X-Boost technology, the product can power devices up to 1800W Max while the rated output power remains 600W, avoiding operation failure due to overload protection. Under standard voltage conditions, the total maximum output of all AC output ports is 600W. With X-Boost enabled, all AC output ports can power devices that require 1800W Max in total, while the rated output power remains 600W. X-Boost automatically enables when the total output of all output ports exceeds 600W.
X-Boost Tips:
- X-Boost is enabled by default; you can enable or disable it in the EcoFlow App.
- X-Boost is not available when the AC output is turned on in a recharging state (in bypass mode) and when X-Boost is disabled.
- X-Boost is not applicable for all electrical appliances; it's incompatible with appliances with strict voltage requirements. Appliances with voltage protection (such as precise instruments) are not supported. X-Boost mode is more suitable for heating devices. Please conduct your own tests with your devices with X-Boost enabled.
3.9 Emergency Power Supply (EPS)
The product supports EPS. When you connect the grid power to the AC Input Port of the product through an AC Charging cable, you can power electrical devices through the AC Output Sockets (AC power will come from the grid and not the power station). In case of a sudden blackout, the product can automatically switch to the battery powered supply mode within 30ms. As a basic UPS function, this function does not support 0ms switching. Please do not connect the product to any device that requires 0ms UPS, such as data servers and workstations. Please test and confirm compatibility before using the product. It is recommended to charge only one device at a time and avoid using multiple ones simultaneously to prevent overload protection. EcoFlow takes no responsibility for any device failures or data losses caused by failures to follow instructions. The EPS of the product only supports loads below 600W.
EPS/UPS Setup: The product can be connected to the grid via an AC charging cable, allowing it to function as an Emergency Power Supply (EPS) or UPS, switching to battery power within 30ms during a blackout.
