Product Usage Instructions

Charging the Unit from the Wall Outlet:

1. Connect the wall charger to the DC barrel input jack on the
   unit.

2. Plug the wall charger into an AC outlet.

3. Tap the Main Power Button on the unit.

4. Allow the unit to take a full charge until the battery icon bar is completely full.

5. Disconnect the wall charger.

Turning on the AC and DC Output:

6. Tap the AC Power Button and DC Power Button on the unit to turn on the AC and DC output.
7. Connect your DC powered devices to the 4 DC barrel jacks or the car socket output. The native voltage is at 12.6VDC.

Solar Charging:

1. If the wall charger is already connected, disconnect it from the input of the unit.
2. Connect the solar panel to the Red/Black Powerpole input of the unit.
3. Ensure that the solar panel has an Open Circuit Voltage (VOC or OCV) ranging from 13VDC to 22VDC and a maximum short circuit  current (Isc) of 6 Amps. Do NOT connect panels exceeding 22VDC or 6Amps Isc.

Important Notes about the DC Outputs:

The 12V DC output on the front of the unit is natively at 12.6VDC. If you need to raise the voltage on the output to 13.8VDC (for QRP radios), please use the Grey Box DC to DC converter.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the BPP-M500:

• What happens if there’s a short circuit or overcurrent with the DC or AC load?
  If there’s a short circuit or overcurrent, the unit will shut down. Remove the fault and reset the unit by pressing the DC switch on and off again. Remove the fault and reset the unit by pressing the AC switch on and off again.

• Can I use both the AC and DC Output at the Same Time?
  Yes, you can use both the AC and DC outputs at the same time. Make sure the AC and DC switches are both on.

Introduction

The BPP-M500 is a 500 Watt-hour PowerPack with a 11.1V, 520 Watt-hour rechargeable lithium ion battery. Please note this unit is not intended for use with ham radio applications. We highly recommend the “BLF-“ series products for 100W PEP ham radio applications because the voltage on the “BLF-“ series products is matched for radio applications. If you wish to use the unit for QRP applications under 30W PEP, that would be fine using the included DC to DC converter with the unit. This unit is intended for use with laptop computers, cell phones, tablets, USB devices, CPAP/BiPap machines, and QRP radios (under 30 W PEP).

How to Use

1. First connect the wall charger to the unit to the DC barrel input jack.
2. Plug in the wall charger into the AC outlet.
3. Tap the Main Power Button on the unit
4. Initially, let the unit take a full charge until the battery icon bar is completely full.
5. Disconnect the wall charger.
6. Tap the AC Power button and DC Power Button to turn on the AC and DC output.
7. DC Powered devices can be connected to the 4 DC barrel jacks and the car socket output. The native voltage is at 12.6VDC. However, using the included DC to DC converter the native voltage can be raised to 13.8VDC for QRP Radio applications. QRP radios should be under 30 W PEP for optimal performance. Do not use the unit for radios exceeding 30W PEP. (See note above to use the BLF- series product line for radios exceeding 30 W PEP)
8. The DC barrel jacks on the DC output are intended for no more than 6 Amps through the DC barrel jack.
9. The Car Socket output is intended for no more than 10 Amps through the Car Socket.
10. Plug the included Grey Box DC to DC converter to the Car Socket Input to raise the voltage from 12.6VDC to 13.8 VDC. Then connect the radio to the Red/Black Powerpole connector on the DC to DC converter. This DC to DC converter though mentions 12 Amps max , is limited to the BPP-M500 Car Socket DC output of 10 Amps. Again, this would be for QRP radio applications.
11. The USB Output includes the following:
12. USB 5 to 9 V (2 Amps ) – QuickCharge 3.0
13. USB 5V, 3.1 Amps
14. USB-C , 5 to 9 VDC, 2 Amps (QuickCharge 3.0)
15. AC Output: Pure Sine Wave Inverter: 500 Watts Max. Do not exceed 500 Watts on the AC Output. You may connect a DC powered supply to the AC outlet on the unit for use with 100 W PEP radios.

Solar Charging

• Disconnect the Wall charger to the input of the unit if it is already attached. Only charge the unit from either the wall charger or the solar panel. Do NOT charge from the wall charger and the solar panel at the same time. This may damage the unit.
• Connect the solar panel to the Red/Black Powerpole input of the unit.
• Confirm the solar panel has an Open Circuit Voltage (also known as “VOC” or “OCV”, under bright sunlight) ranging from 13 VDC to 22 VDC, and a maximum short circuit current (Isc) of 6 Amps. Do NOT plug in panels exceeding 22 VDC. This may damage the unit. Do NOT plug in panels exceeding 6 Amps, Isc (short circuit current).

Important Notes about the DC Outputs:

The 12V DC output on the front of the unit is natively at 12.6VDC. If you need to raise the voltage on the output to 13.8VDC (for QRP radios), please use the Grey Box DC to DC converter.
