    Any of my stations will stay "active" if plugged into an external power source, even if they are fully charged and not pulling power. Even my old school Oscal will do that. Nature of the beast I think for the stations.

    I guess it thinks it an external source when the 48V pack is installed. No PV or AC power. And it would not shutdown. The Pecron does, as its a direct battery to battery connection. Bluetti external ports connects to the BMS. It shuts down once its disconnected, But dummy me has to remember.

    I've just been keeping the power station as a UPS since I've added the 48V pack so it hasn't been an issue.
