Hi Bluetti Team and Community,
I would like to propose a highly requested feature that would drastically improve user experience and battery management, especially for those of us who rely on our power stations daily for critical tasks.
The Feature: Customizable Minimum SOC (State of Charge) Limit
We need an option in the Bluetti App that allows users to set a specific battery percentage threshold (e.g., 40%, 30%, or 20%). When the power station discharges down to this specified limit, it should automatically shut down or suspend the AC and DC outputs, leaving the unit in a low-power standby mode while preserving the remaining capacity as a reserve.
Use Case Example:
-
Overnight Management: A user wants to power appliances (like a fan or refrigerator) during the night but wants to guarantee that the station doesn’t drain to 0%. By setting a 40% reserve limit, the user ensures there is enough power left the next morning to run high-draw kitchen appliances for breakfast (coffee maker, blender, etc.) before solar charging kicks in.
-
Emergency Backup: Keeping a hard reserve ensures the power station is never caught completely dead if an unexpected outage occurs during the day.
Technical Feasibility:
We know that models like the new Elite 200 V2 already have advanced power management, including ECO modes and deep sleep settings that can turn off the unit during inactivity. Adding a software trigger based on the SOC percentage to disconnect the inverter (AC) and DC outputs should be highly feasible through a firmware and app update.
This feature is standard in many home energy storage systems and would put Bluetti a step ahead in portable power management. Many users in the community share this exact need.
Looking forward to hearing the community’s thoughts and hoping the dev team can consider this for a future update!
Best regards,
