Powering On/Off

Powering on: Press and hold the AC/DC Power Button for 1s to start up corresponding output.

Note: Please turn on the DC power to enable the wireless charging. Press any button, the LCD screen will stay on for 30 seconds.

Powering off: Press and hold power buttons to shut down corresponding output.

Note: Press and hold any button for at least 3s, the unit will be off.

Standard Mode

Setting Mode: When the AC power is off and LCD screen is on, press and hold AC and DC power buttons simultaneously for 2s. The AC frequency indicator will flash. Press and hold AC and DC power buttons simultaneously to exit 'Setting Mode'.

Note: If the unit has been idle for 1 minute under 'Setting Mode', it will automatically exit 'Setting Mode' and the setting changes will not be saved.

ECO Mode: Under 'Setting Mode', press the DC power button to turn it on/off.

Note: When on this mode, the AC/DC output will automatically turn off after 4-hour low (≤10W for AC, ≤1W for DC) or no load to save power.

Power Lifting Mode: Enable in BLUETTI App.

Note: When on this mode, both output voltage and current can be adjusted to a higher level for running high-powered heating devices like space heaters and electric irons. Do NOT use this unit to run an air conditioner or washing machine.

UPS

UPS Bypass Mode: Connect the EB3A with the AC power and the ‘UPS’ will be on display. Then turn on the AC output. When on this mode, the AC power will directly support the loads on AC output ports and charge the EB3A.

Note: Max. output power: 600W. The AC inverter is disabled under UPS Bypass Mode. The unit won't enter this mode unless connecting with AC power AND turning on the AC output.

• Camera: 10-15 Times, 16.4Wh
• Power Tool: 2.5-3 Hours, 80W
• Refrigerator: 2-2.5 Hours, 90W

Formula for estimated charging time: 268.8Wh × DoD × η ÷ (load power) = charging time (estimated)

Appendix

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: How do I know whether my devices will work well with this product?

A: Please evaluate the total constant load of your appliances. If it doesn't exceed the Max. output power of EB3A, you can use this power station to charge.

Q: Can I use third-party solar panels to charge this product?

A: Yes, you can. As long as the specs of solar panels you're using fall in below range:

• OCV: 12-28V
• Input Current: 8.5A Max.
• Input Power: 200W Max.

With the same power connector (MC4 or Anderson).

Q: How can I turn on the UPS Bypass Mode and what does it mean?

A: Connect the EB3A with the AC power and the 'UPS' will be on display. Then turn on the AC output. When on this mode, the AC power will directly support the loads on AC output ports and charge the EB3A.

Q: Is there a button to turn on/off the wireless charging?

A: Yes. Press the DC Power Button to enable the wireless charging.
