  However, when the OCV falls in 150-550V, you can also use BLUETTI D300S* to step down the voltage and achieve solar charging.
  * Sold separately.

• Q10: Can I connect two EP500Pro together for more power (240V Split Phase Bonding)?

  A10:

  Yes. With the Fusion Box (P030A), you can connect two EP500Pro in series for 240V/6,000W output.

• Q11: Can EP500Pro connect with EP500?

  A:

  No. Only EP500 to EP500, or EP500Pro to EP500Pro is acceptable.

• Q12: Can it charge and discharge at the same time?

  A9:

  Yes.

• Q13: How do I know whether my appliance can work well with the EP500Pro?

  A13:

  Calculate the total wattage of your devices. EP500Pro should work if the load doesn't exceed its rated 3,000W.

• Q14: How long can it run my device?

  A14:

  Running time = Battery capacity × DoD × η ÷ Device rated power
  DoD refers to Depth of Discharge and η is local inverter efficiency.
  For EP500Pro, both DoD and η are 90%. If you run a 1,000W microwave oven with it, the running time will be:
  5,100Wh × 90% × 90% ÷ 1,000W ≈ 4.1hrs Note:
  1) The formula is NOT suitable for inductive loads with compressors, like refrigerator, air conditioner, etc.
  2) The above data is for reference ONLY.

• Q15: Is the EP500Pro power station waterproof?

  No. Also, please do NOT store it in a humid environment for a long time.

• Q16: When I keep the power plugged in, will EP500Pro stop charging automatically when fully charged?

  Yes. And when the SOC is less than 100%, EP500Pro will automatically charge again without damage to the battery.

• Q17: Is it possible to replace the built-in battery?

  No. If the internal battery pack is faulty or even dead, please contact BLUETTI Customer Service.

• Q18: How is it different from the EP500?

  The main differences are:
