F3600 supports a backup UPS function, allowing you to connect loads while
F3600 is connected to the power grid. When the power grid is normal, the power
grid prioritizes supplying power to the load and charging the battery (when
the battery is not fully charged). At this time, the load power cannot exceed
the rated charging power; When in power grid outage, F3600 will switch to
battery power within 10 ms to ensure uninterrupted electricity consumption.
You can expand the capacity of F3600 through the “F3600+B3600” parallel mode.
