Title

What is the structure of the entire connected model?

Der gesamte gekoppelte Modus ist darauf ausgelegt, die Nutzung der Solarenergie zu maximieren und die Gesundheit und Lebensdauer der Batterie zu gewährleisten.
Ladepriorität: Zur Vermeidung von Energieverschwendung lädt das Gerät vorrangig und speichert Tagsüber Strom, wenn der Stromverbrauch im Haushalt gering ist oder Personen außer Haus sind. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass bei ausreichender Solarenergie die Batterie vollständig geladen und der überschüssige Strom darin gespeichert wird.

Automatische Stromverbindung: Im Photovoltaik-Mikronetzmodus wird automatisch eine Verbindung zum Netz hergestellt, wenn die Ladekapazität 95 % übersteigt. Dies gewährleistet, dass die Batterie für Notfälle bei ausreichender Solarstromerzeugung vollständig geladen werden kann.

Netzverbindung stoppen: Sollte die Photovoltaik-Stromerzeugung geringer sein als die Netzleistung und die Energiespeicherkapazität unter 90 % fallen, so wird die Netzausgabe automatisch gestoppt. Dies stellt sicher, dass die Batterie stets über ausreichend Energie verfügt, um plötzlichen Strombedarf zu bewältigen.

Can the BP2200 be operated or charged at temperatures around freezing or below?

The BP2200 is equipped with a high-quality LiFePO4 battery and a sophisticated BMS system. Standby mode is activated when the battery power falls below 5% to extend the life of the power source. If the battery has less than 3% power and is connected to the power source, the device must be charged to avoid damage from overcharging. Technically, it can power electrical devices in such situations, but you should not charge it.

AC charging: 0°C - 40°C (32°F - 104°F).

Discharge: -10°C–40°C (14°F–104°F).

Please note that the storage temperature is between -20 °C and 60 °C (-4 °F and 140 °F). Under these conditions it is technically possible to supply electrical devices with power. However, we would like to ask you to not to charge the device.

Which solar panels can be used in the power station? How long can they maintain interconnected operation?

The BP2200 has a maximum solar power of 1200 W/100 V, reaches its full charge in just 2 hours and is able to supply you with electricity for up to 10 hours. Unlike other power stations on the market that require an input voltage of 60 V, the BP2200 scores with an input voltage range of 18-100 V. This allows you to easily combine solar modules according to your needs and the size of the available installation area. We recommend the following combinations.

use four 18 V/200 W solar modules in series.

Use three 22 V/200 W solar panels in series.

Use two 36V/550W solar panels in series.

It is possible to combine four 36 V/300 W solar modules in two rows. First two in series and then two in series parallel.

Please note: The total switching voltage should be kept below 96V, regardless of how many solar panels are used. Due to possible errors in the voltage values of the inverter and the solar panels, it is recommended to keep the total voltage below 96V .

How can I connect WiFi indoors and outdoors?

This device allows you to connect to your phone both indoors and outdoors

Method 1: If the device is connected to the phone in the room via 2.4G WiFi, the connection will remain, so you can easily connect it to your phone's Bluetooth when you go outside or outside the WiFi range.

Method 2: The user connects another phone's hotspot to the phone and the device connects through that hotspot, eliminating the need to connect the device outside (or outside the Wi-Fi environment).

Attention : 1. After the device is disconnected from WiFi, it should wait 3-5 minutes to connect to your phone via Bluetooth.

2. It may be necessary to restart the device after Bluetooth connection with the mobile device (this will not disconnect the connection).

What functions does the APP offer?

You can configure the grid settings: Our program allows you to adapt the grid parameters of the BP2200 to your individual needs and situations. You can personalize the grid power (200W/400W/600W/800W - changeable), automated grid thresholds and grid time.

Please set the charging mode: You have the possibility to configure the grid settings. Thanks to our software, you can adapt the grid parameters of the BP2200 to your individual requirements and situations. Based on your needs, you can personalize the grid power (200W/400W/600W/800W - changeable), automated grid thresholds and grid times.

Battery status monitoring and management : This program allows you to monitor the battery status of the Bp2200, including power and charge status, and to perform management and modification operations if necessary.

Data collection and analysis : The app typically collects the BP2200's operating data and provides data analysis features to help you understand the device's performance and usage, allowing you to make adjustments and improvements accordingly.

How can we better protect this power plant?

To ensure that your battery is preserved and you don't have to worry about forgetting to turn off the output during use, we have equipped the BP2200 with an ECO mode that saves energy for your device.

The gadget automatically goes into sleep mode as soon as it detects that connected devices are either unplugged or have a power that is lower than or equal to a set value.

If your device is not charging and the AC, DC and USB power supply is ≤ 5W, it will automatically shut off after one hour. You also have the option to activate ECO mode via our app by setting the appropriate time duration or a charging power of less than 5W.

Here are some tips to increase the protection of your device.

Please turn off the device and unplug it from the power supply if you do not use it for a long time.

Please charge the BP2200 to 80% of its battery capacity every three to six months for long-term storage.

Once your battery is below 20%, it is advisable to charge the power station as soon as possible to ensure that the battery life is extended.

During storage or use, nothing should be stacked on top of the machine. Store the machine in a dry, shady place in a temperature range of -20 °C-60 °C and a relative humidity of 20–85% . Avoid contact with corrosive substances and heat sources.

Is the BP2200 power station waterproof?

It is important to note that the product is not waterproof, so we strongly recommend not storing it in a humid environment for a long period of time. Please store it in a dry, cool place instead.

Can BP22200 start a car as an emergency power source?

The BP2200 serves as a power source for your vehicle, but it does not have an engine starting function. To charge or power your car, simply connect the BP2200 to the battery using the power cable. If you need to keep your vehicle powered during a sudden power outage, the BP2200 has a UPS (continuous power supply) function with a switchover time of less than 20 milliseconds. This ensures that your car is reliably powered even during a power outage. Please make sure to use the correct power cable to ensure a secure connection and provide the required power.
