Question about the DC Output Cable (1.8 m/6 ft, with XT60-F connectors).
Some systems with dual solar inputs do not like the 0 volt to be tied together. For example if you fed both from a single battery there could be issues with reverse current flow. The SolarX 4k is not a battery but it is a voltage regulator and the 0 V would be tied together on the 3 XT60 outputs.
When using the triple XT60-F connector does that mean it is not possible/advisable to connect two of them to the same Apex? Is it designed for each output to go to a different power station or is it okay to connect two outputs to a single Apex, one to each solar input?
@Sideeffect Confirmed: When using a parallel charging cable, the three XT60 terminals can only be plugged into one AP300 separately, and two XT60 terminals cannot be plugged into one APEX300.
Hello, the maximum current supported by the solar4k X is 80A. Whether you can connect two 2kW batteries depends mainly on whether your energy storage system supports it. Currently, the solar 4k X can be purchased on the official website.
Hi, It’s Seot 4
Winter is quickly approaching.
I need to button up my power to my offgrid cabin and my new Apex300
When can we purchase the Solarx 4k?
Respectfully
Hi,
do you have a better date? I feel like early September is kinda over. Looking forward to being able to add some solar panels to my installation. Thanks
Hello @jlaine, the SolarX 4K is currently available in the Bluetti store. You can select either cable type, or select an entire bundle. The basic unit is also $100 off right now.
I bought my solar X 4K on the indigo go website they sent me my table for my parallel connection to my Apex 300. I have three of them. My question is on the website. It is pictured or it looks to be in the picture that cable has a communication connector. The other two cables it looks like they’re a R 45 jack that you connect to the can one of the solar X 4K. But the cable I received did not have that jack is this cable built properly or do I need to contact blue Bluetti for a new cable thank you for any help
Hello! With my SolarX 4K I ordered the P090 battery connector cable, and yes it does have that CAN bus connector. However, both mine and the other P150 battery cable allow a connection to only a single Apex 300; whereas the one you have can connect to 2 or 3, and I believe that is the reason there is no communication cable included. I have read something to that affect as well, and have not found where I saw that, but I think it is normal.
Yes, I do see the CAN port on their picture. The thing is though, is that there is no CAN connection on the XT-60 end of that cable. The XT-60 plugs have only the two power connections; whereas the P090D and P150D battery connection cables do have data connections as well as the power connections in the cables. Also, the Apex 300 does not have a CAN connection port separate from the battery ports, so there would be no-where to plug such a cable into.
I spoke with BLUETTI and they said that it does not need the Can connection , so it might be a marketing mistake. Anyhow, I’ve been using the cable without the can and it seems to be working fine. It charges all three but not equally one will pull more power than the other than it’ll switch to another then switch to another. I’m assuming that’s how it’s supposed to work but not for sure. I also ordered the AT1 smart distribution panel. I talked with one of the IT guys at Bluetti and he says he thinks it will be a game changer BLUETTI. I’m really excited about getting that unit and seeing if it will help me with Stream lining my power usage and combining several steps together to save me time.
Have you heard anything about it? I want to use it as a whole house back up with my three units. (Apex 300.)
I’m quite sure it is a marketing mistake, it’s the only thing that makes sense. I have heard about the AT1 during the campaign, but nothing detailed. I do like the way it all fits together though. You’ll have to let me know how it all works together if you get it all set up.
