Storage and usage

• When not using the unit for over 3 months, charge it to 40% to 60% SoC to keep it in optimal condition.
• Before storing the unit, power it off and remove all electrical connections from it.
• Store the unit in a cool and dry place. The ideal temperature range is 10°C to 30°C. The unit can be safely charged and discharged at temperatures of -20°C to 40°C. However, it's NOT recommended to store the unit in harsh temperatures for extended periods of time.
• Fully cycle the unit every 6 months to maintain the battery's health.

If the SoC drops to 0 (during operation or upon startup), take the following actions to safely restart the unit:

1. Shut down immediately.
2. Charging within 48 hours.
3. Battery should be kept at an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C for 24 hours before charging.

It is recommended to charge the unit via an AC source. If charging via solar energy, ensure that your solar system provides an output of more than 100W.
BLUETTI shall not be liable for any equipment damage caused by the violation of above instructions.

Powering On/Off

Powering on: Press the AC/DC/DC 12V Power Button to start up corresponding output.

* The LCD screen is on for 30-60 seconds. Please enable at least one of these ports (AC/DC/DC 12V) if you want the display to stay on longer.
Note: Please turn on the DC power to enable the wireless charging.

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

Mode

Setting Mode: When the AC power is off, press AC and DC power buttons simultaneously and the frequency indicator flashes.
ECO Mode^[1]: Under 'Setting Mode', press the DC power button to turn it on/off.

Setting

AC Frequency^[2]: Under 'Setting Mode', press the AC power button to switch.

1. In this mode, the AC/DC output will automatically turn off after 4-hour low(≤10W for AC, ≤1W for DC) or 1 no load to save power.
2. AC Frequency: The number of alternating cycles per second in an AC sine wave. The utility frequency in US is usually 60Hz.

Charging

AC Charging

Simply plug the EB55 into a standard wall outlet and start charging.

PV Charging

Connect the solar panels (in series or parallel) to EB55 via the solar charging cable.
Note:
Please make sure your solar panels comply with:
OCV^[3]: 12-28V
Vmp^[4]: 12-28V
Input Power: 200W Max

E.g.
Use one BLUETTI PV200 solar panel to charge the unit.
BLUETTI PV200:
Voc=26.1V
Vmp=20.5V
Current= 9.7A Max.

3. OCV: Open circuit voltage, also for Voc. The maximum voltage that the solar panel can produce with no load on it.
4. Vmp: Voltage at maximum power. The voltage available when the panel is operating at its peak performance output.

Car Charging

Connect the EB55 directly to the vehicle plug-in cigarette lighter port via the car charging cable.

Generator Charging

Connect the AC adapter input plug to the generator while the output plug goes to the adapter charging port of EB55.

Dual Charging

EB55 also supports dual charging (e.g. Adapter + PV Charging and Dual Adapter Charging^[5]).

5. An extra adapter (200W AC Adapter + DC7909-XT60 Female Cable) is needed for Dual Adapter Charging.

Discharging

537Wh × DoD × η ÷ (load power) = charging time (estimated)
Note:
DoD refers to the Depth of Discharge, η is the local inverter efficiency. DoD=90%, η =90%.
DoD may vary depending on ambient-operating temperature and discharge rate.
Load power and charging time are measured in Watt and Hour.

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 EB55, 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 the range below:
OCV & Vmp: 12-28V
Input Power: 200W Max.
With the same power connector (MC4)
DO NOT mix different types of solar panels.

Q: How can I charge this EB55 by dual adapter charging?
A: An extra adapter (200W AC Adapter + DC7909-XT60 Female Cable) is needed to connect to the DC input port.

Q: Is there a button to turn on/off the wireless charging?
A: Yes. Press the DC Power Button to enable the wireless charging.

Q: Can it charge and discharge at the same time?
A: Yes. It supports pass-through charging. EB55 comes with the premium LiFePO4 battery and proprietary Battery Management System to ensure that it can charge and discharge at the same time.
