Thats an old model. It only charges at 200 watts AC with 1 input port. You can get 400 watts but you have to utilize 2 separate 200-watt input ports. Same goes with it's solar input so you cant use a single 400 watt panel, it has to be 2 200 watt panels. It also uses an old school style large power brick to charge via AC & to charge at 400 watts max, you'd need to buy a second one. It also only has 60 watt USB C ports vs 140 on this one. I'd stay away from that one. It's old stock. None of the newer models use a charging brick and charge so much faster with just a regular pc style ac cord. They moved away from using the power bricks.

One single reported incident of one unit catching on fire in who knows how many have been sold doesn't mean Oupes units LIKE to catch on fire.. Sounds more like a freak one-off incident. For what it's worth, the one that caught fire was their newest release the Guardian 6000. The LiFePo4 chemistry in general is pretty safe from catching on fire. If theres a real issue to worry about, I'm sure we'll see other units catching onfire, until then, It's probably safe to write this off as a freak 1 off incident. Who knows how many thousands of units they've probably sold in the 7 years they've been around.

I agree, and it wasn't even this model. Somebody was asking is this the model with issues? Then to answer that, he brought up a single one-off story about a completely different model catching on fire which didn't even answer the question and included the very misleading statement that Oupes likes to catch on fire.

Smh. Just received a dead and bad Unit, brand new. I wonder if its even worth trying them again or just get my money back.
Unfortunately, it happens. It happens more than people realize and that goes for all consumer electronics in general. The consumer electronics return rate as a whole is crazy high. If you go to eBay, at any given time, you'll see hundreds of refurbished name brand units like bluetti, ecoflow, and others for sale. These were all bad units that customers sent back. They get fixed but can't be sold as brand new so they get sold as refurbed. You probably just got unlucky. I'd say it's worth another shot. It can happen with any brand.

I hope they dont try to replace it with a refurb since I bought it brand new.

Consider this. If they repaired the one you sent back, and sent it back to you after they fixed it, that would be considered acceptable, but if it didn't get sent back to you, it can't be sold as new anymore so it would have to be resold as refurbed.

I just got my unit, when i connect it to solar charging, initially after every 60 secs or so, it will drop to 0W, and then start increasing slowly, now it will do that after about 5 mins or so. Is this happening to anyone?

Not sure if this is what's happening but here's one possible reason. The open circuit voltage of that panel is 23.7v. Open circuit voltage is what it sounds like. It's the voltage of the panel measured while not under any load or hooked up to anything. The actual voltage while under load is going to be less than the Open circuit voltage. The MMPT on this Oupes unit needs 16v minimum so there's a possibility that panel is dipping down below 16v under load. Especially if the sun isn't strong or consistent.

Thanks, i'm trying to find the charging info of that panel since it has been a while. I just tried charging with AC, and it doesn't charge at all.

You have a bad unit. Send it back. It happens more often than people realize, even with the better known brand names. If you want proof, just go to eBay and look at all the refurbished Bluetti's and other brands they are selling at any given time. There's literally hundreds of them any time I go look. All those refurbs were returned faulty units that were repaired but cant be sold as new so they are sold as refurbed. The return rate for faulty consumer electronics is way higher than people realize, even with the best known brands.

Update, i was able to charge using AC, it turns out that this unit cannot be charge on a GFCI circuit and it tripped my gfci. It charges fine without dropping to 0w on AC, but still this is an issue on Solar. Support is not giving me the an explanation that make sense, because my issue is not that its decreasing, its dropping to 0w! Does it make sense to anyone?
******************************
Thank you for reaching out with your question about the charging power on your Exodus 1500.

The reason you're noticing a decrease in charging power is due to the way battery charging works. In the initial stages, the charging power is higher, which causes the battery voltage to rise quickly. When the battery reaches its float charge stage, the voltage stabilizes, and the charging power naturally decreases to protect the battery.

So this gradual reduction in charging power is normal, please don't worry! It is designed to protect the battery, ensuring it stays in good condition for a longer period.

One last thing. If it's brand new, discharge it to zero, but leave it discharging until the unit errors out then charge it back to full. This recalibrates the battery. It's possible your unit might be fully charged but only showing a certain % so thats why it's not taking any more charge. This happened with my Exodus 2400 and customer service walked me through the recalibration steps. Worked like a charm.

Yes, brand new. That is what i'm trying now. It was at 65% when i turned it on. On and off charging with Solar got it to 71%, and charging on AC got it to 73%, but now i'm going to charge it to 100% and let it discharge to 0 and try it again on Solar to see if that fixes the issue. Will report back on what i find.
I do have a question on the software, the way i'm using these power station is to replace my UPS. For ecoflow, i was able to set it to 50%, and it will stop charging, if power goes out, i still have plenty of charge to go, does Oupes software allow you to do that? it says its best to charge to 80% and discharge to 20%, if software doesn't allow to stop at 80%, then i have to watch it all the time?
