Expand capacity for EB3A

Product Discussion BLUETTI EB Series
1

Can anybody recommend a means of expanding the EB3A for more capacity?

It has all the functionality I want, but some additional capacity would be great.

I’ve been looking at 12V/100Ah LiFePO4 batteries with the simple positive/negative terminals.

I want to be able to charge excess power from solar to the external 100Ah battery without having to hook up the panels directly to it.

For charging:

Solar → EB3A — 12VDC (or stepped up to 24V) —> External 12V100Ah

and then

For discharging (to EB3A):

External 12V100Ah — unregulated —> EB3A’s 12-28V 8.5A DC port

Is this supported by the EB3A?

Any better suggestions?

If you use a 24 volt battery, you will get double the transfer rate of a 12 volt battery. (around 200 watts or so)

I thought 24V would make it tricky to charge it with the EB3A’s output

24 volts is within the solar input range and the unit does not care where the voltage comes from as long as the voltage is within the specified range.
