NOTE: XT60 port tripping is independant from all output functions and will not shut down the unit or disrupt output usage. A rejected XT60 port will automatically open when voltage drops below the tipping point (as the panel warms up). The XT60 port will NOT shut down existing input if temperature drop increases voltage past the tripping point (eg. very cold weather change). Cheers Rob
Hi Nobby. It really is a good powersupply for the workshop, as it is sealed and the heavy aluminium case acts as a heatsink, so no fan required. Good for using in areas where there are chips, turnings, dust, oil etc. These can play havoc with regular open/vented cases. The laboritory type fine adjustments are very useful. Cheers Rob
Thanks for testing and information. I think its important to gain a basic understanding of the limitations of our solar / DC equipment. So many times i have seen people struggling with their set up and usually get the comment of "this is what my friend or the salesperson, said i need''.
Yes, there's a lot of misinformation out there, especially from the "experts" on forums. It's unlikely a power brick will be damaged from single/parallel panel solar input voltage, which peaks with 24 volt panels. Manufactuers know this is the upper limit and allow for this level of standardisation. Where things go pear shaped is when people connect panels in series. This can ramp up voltages enormously. Magic smoke has been known to happen ;) Cheers Rob
Hi Alan. I saw quite a few questions on Google about this, with very few accurate answers. A lot of BS posted mainly. So after a bit of thought I finally put up some research on it. i don't expect a lot of hits, but that's incidental, and the people who do need it should be happy. Cheers Rob

A very useful test Rob for anyone who has one of these. That power supply is fantastic. Remarkably small adjustments possible. Cheers Nobby

Really useful information for anyone using these units with panels Rob 👍👍 Cheers, Alan.

Great information. Thanks
You're welcome. Slight over voltage shouldn't hurt the unit. Cheers Rob
Interesting info Rob on solar panels and testing you EcoFlow input. Cheers Tony
Hi Tony. Always learning. Particularly with this hi tech stuff becoming available for everyday use. You need a degree to use any of it ;) Cheers Rob
