I’ve been using my new Elite 10 Mini for about a week. It is placed in my home server cabinet, and its intended purpose is to serve as a UPS. My setup is half off-grid, half on-grid depending on my solar battery SOC; my transfer switch toggles between the grid and the solar inverter. The signal flow is basically: Transfer switch output → Elite 10 Mini → 230V Load (max 100W).
The system ran well for a couple of days, but one morning I woke up to find the Elite 10 Mini turned off and the server down. I turned the Elite 10 back on; it was at 0% SOC and started charging. It took a few minutes before I could re-enable the AC output. I had no issues with the grid itself, as other loads not connected to the Bluetti had no downtime.
After this event, the Elite 10 worked again for a few hours, but then it started to discharge despite being constantly connected to the AC input. This time it dropped to ~60% and then recharged itself without causing downtime.
A few days later, it started producing E006 errors and cutting the AC output. This has happened 2 or 3 times now. I’ve stopped using it because every time the AC output cuts out, my server crashes, which is not ideal.
When the E006 errors occurred, the system was 100% off-grid, meaning the AC input was coming from my solar inverter. I haven’t had any issues with other loads connected directly to the inverter.
What could be causing these errors? Is the Elite 10 Mini unable to work reliably in bypass mode with a solar inverter input?
