• Q1: How many solar panels can l use at the same time with F3600? How long does it take to fully recharge the F3600 by solar panels?

  A: It depends on the total voltage and watts of solar panels you choose. F3600 supports solar panels with maximum of 2000W, 12-1600V in voltage. By 2000W max solar panels, fully charged within 2 hours. But please pay attention that the voltage do not exceed 160V. By 4 pcs of SP420 solar panels, the voltage is within the range, but by 5 pcs, the voltage exceeds the voltage. So with SP420, 4 pcs connected in series is recommended. By 4*SP420, it can be fully recharged by 2.5 hours with prime sunshine.

• Q2: Can I use two different wattage solar panels to charge the power station?(Such as 200W and 400W solar panel charging the F3600) ?

  A:
  1. It cannot. Please use the same parameters of solar panels to charge the power station. It must be same wattage and same voltage.
  2. Mixing two different voltage solar panels would cause the high voltage to flow back to the low voltage, which will damage the circuit and cause damage to the solar panels and power station.

• Q3: Can I use any third-party solar panels to charge F3600?

  A: It depends on the combined voltage and current of the solar panels you choose. It's fine as long as the solar panels use MC4 connectors and their combined voltage and current are within 12-160 volts and under 20 amps.
  PV input requirements for F3600:
  Work Voltage: 12-160V
  Current: under 20A
  Include MC4 connectors.
  Input Power: 2000W Max.

• Q4: How long can the F3600 be fully charged by AC charge?

  A:
  By 2200W AC charge: 2H By 1600W AC charge: 2H 45mins
  By 1200W AC charge: 3H 50mins
  By 800W AC charge: 5H 32mins
  By 400W AC charge: 11H 3mins

• Q5: How fast will it charge by AC+ solar panels?

  A: FOSSiBOT F3600 Portable Power Station enables fast charging. By AC+ solar panel charge, it can be recharged to 80% in 50 minutes and 100% in 1.5 hours for EU version.

• Q6: How soon will the F3600 be fully charged by car charging?

  A: 32 hours @12V, 16 hours @24V.

• Q7: Can I use F3600 as a UPS? How does the UPS work? And how fast is it?

  A: Yes, F3600 supports UPS. When your portable power station is plugged into the wall, any electronics plugged into the machine are powered from the grid and not from F3600 battery. When power from the grid stops, as in a blackout, the power station immediately switches to battery automatically to offer power supply to your electronics within 10ms.
  In UPS mode, the maximum load in the AC output is 2500W for US and Japan version. When the load exceeds 2500W, the AC output is shut down.

• Q8: How many cycles can the system last?

  A: With EV-grade LiFePO4 batteries inside, F3600 has more than 6500 cycles. This makes it the most durable portable power station on the market. If you charge one cycle a day, the batteries will last more than a decade.

• Q9: Does F3600 support battery expansion?

  A: Not, F3600 is a single unit.

• Q10: What's the operating temperature of F3600?

  A: Use & Charge: 0-40℃ (32-104℉);
  Discharge: -15-40℃ (-4-104℉);
  Storage: -15-40℃ (-4-104℉).
  It performs best if you can keep it between 68°F to 86°F (20°C to 30°C).
  Technically, it can power electrical devices under 0℃, but please avoid charging it.
  

• Q11: How do I know that my multiple devices are not beyond the F3600 power range?

  A: F3600 supports 3600W high power, it can power for 99% of your household appliances. If you want to know how many appliances you can use at one time, calculate the total wattage of your devices. F3600 should work if the load doesn't exceed its rated 3,600W. When the load power exceeds 3,600W, the machine will reduce the voltage to make the load work stably. When the voltage is lower than 177V or loads reaches 5900W, the machine activates overload protection and stops working.

• Q12: How long can F3600 power my appliance?

  A: Working time = F3600's Watt-Hours * 0.85 / operating power of your device.
  Example: Let's assume your device's power consumption is 700W (might be a microwave), and you want to use the F3600 to run your device.
  3840Wh*0.85/700w = Roughly 4.66 hours, the screen will show 5 hours. The screen shows actual minute when it is below 100minutes. Above 100mins below 2.5 hours will show 2 hours. Above 2.5 Hours will show 3 hours.
  The data is theretical lab data. Please note the actual power consumption varies based on many factors.

• Q13: ls it possible to replace the built-in battery?

  A: No. If the battery pack is faulty or even dead, please contact Fossibot Customer Service.

• Q14: How do I use the F3600 for the first time?

  A: When you received the machine, please recharge it to 100% battery. Then each time you use the machine, long press the main power button on top right for 3 seconds to turn on the F3600. When you connect your appliances or devices to the machine, press the related on/off button. If you don't use it, press the on/off button to turn off the AC/DC/USB power, otherwise it will consume the battery.

• Q15: How do I manually switch the frequency between 50Hz and 60Hz, and switch between 220V and 230V?

  A:
  1) Press and hold the AC button for 2 seconds to enter the frequency switching mode, the 50Hz or 60Hz icon will flash on the display, short press the AC button again to select 50Hz or 60Hz; when the icon stops flashing and displays 50Hz or 60Hz, it indicates the switch is successful.
  2) Quickly press the AC button for 10 times to switch voltage between 220V and 230V.

• Q16: Does it have maximum power point tracking (MPPT)?

  A: Yes it utilizes MPPT which stays around 98% efficiency. For those who aren't familiar with MPPT, it makes adjustments according to the fluctuating voltage of your solar panels. This results in more solar power going into your battery, even in suboptimal conditions.

• Q17: What is the Output frequency?

  A: F3600 will auto-adjust for both 50Hz and 60Hz. You can also manually switch the output frequency on the device.

• Q18: Does it work with my country's plugs/outlets?

  A: FOSSiBOT F3600 has 2 versions in 2 voltage ranges:
  100-120V: US/Japan
  220-240V: EU

• Q19: What are your differences and advantages over a traditional 3kw UPS?

  A: Our Power Station supports various devices with different voltages and power and can complete the switch within 10ms. Different from traditional UPS, FOSSiBOT F3600 also supports DC & AC charging.

• Q20: Will it be able to charge during use?

  A: Yes, the FOSSiBOT F3600 can be recharged while in use. With 10ms UPS, F3600 would be perfect for emergency power backup for a home office or home medical device.

• Q21: Is it reliable to take over the power supply of medical devices during outage or camping trips?

  A: Yes, F3600 has a 10-ms switch over time. So as long as the medical devices above do not require 0 ms standby time, you can power the devices with F3600 while AC power is connected to keep the devices running in case of power outages. Just make sure all the devices do not exceed 3600W in total to keep F3600 in the best working condition.

• Q22：What will be the noise level of FOSSiBOT F3600?

  A: F3600 has fans to keep its batteries cool, which run at a volume of 45~65dB at 1 meter (between a normal conversation and office environment) depending on how many watts are going in or out of the battery as well as the temperature.
