Power Hub supports multiple charging input simultaneously, and the charging priorities are: solar charging, AC charging, vehicle alternator charging and EcoFlow smart generator charging.
The total charging current at the battery port of the Power Hub is limited to 100A. When the charging input power is greater than the power required by the battery, the charging input with lower priority will reduce charging current smoothly or even stop charging.
X-Boost Feature
With EcoFlow X-Boost technology, this product can power a 5200 W Max device (for heating appliances only) while the rated output power remains 3600 W, avoiding operation failure due to overload protection.

1. The X-Boost feature is unavailable when AC Output is in bypass mode.
2. The X-Boost feature is not suitable for all appliances. The X-Boost feature is only suitable for heating appliances. It is not suitable for some appliances with voltage protection, such as precision instruments.

Bypass Mode
When the product is connected to external AC and the AC output is enabled, the system enters bypass mode. The AC output is provided by the external AC power supply and the
LFP battery is charged by the external AC power supply.
When external AC is not available, this product will automatically transfer to inverter mode, AC output will restore power within 30ms. Inverter Mode
When external AC power source is not available, the system will enter Inverter Mode. AC Output is now supplied by the LFP battery. Standby Mode
When the AC output and DC output of the product are continuously off and there is no charging input for 20 seconds, it enters standby mode to reduce power consumption.
Pressing the DC OUT or AC OUT button can wake up the system.
