BiXPower modular power station with separate rechargeable battery and AC inverter
Portable AC Power Wherever You Need It
The BiXPower modular power station provides a convenient way to operate compatible electronic equipment when standard wall power is unavailable.
Simply connect the rechargeable battery to the inverter using the compatible battery connection, turn on the inverter and plug your electronic device or its original AC power adapter into the inverter's AC outlet.
This system is ideal for compatible laptop computers, communications equipment, portable electronics, camping accessories, small office equipment and other low-power applications.
Why Choose a Separate Battery and Inverter?
Most conventional portable power stations combine the battery, inverter, charger and electronic controls into one enclosure.
Although this integrated design is convenient, it can limit flexibility when the battery ages, the inverter requires replacement or additional runtime is needed.
The BiXPower modular design separates the rechargeable battery from the inverter, providing several important practical and economic advantages.
1. Easy Battery Replacement
Every rechargeable battery gradually loses capacity with age and repeated charge cycles.
With the BiXPower modular system, you can replace the battery independently without replacing a perfectly functional inverter.
This can significantly reduce long-term replacement costs compared with integrated systems that do not support user-replaceable batteries.
2. Easy Inverter Replacement
If the inverter becomes damaged or requires service, the battery can remain in use.
You can replace the inverter independently with a compatible unit rather than replacing the complete power station.
This simplifies maintenance and helps extend the useful life of your power equipment.
3. Carry Multiple Batteries for Longer Runtime
One of the greatest advantages of a modular power station is the ability to carry additional fully charged compatible batteries.
When the first battery becomes depleted, turn off the inverter, disconnect the battery and replace it with another charged battery.
You can extend total operating time without purchasing another inverter.
4. Easier to Carry and Transport
The BX3694 battery weighs approximately 5 lb, while the inverter weighs approximately 2.1 lb.
Instead of carrying a single combined unit, you can transport the components separately.
This can make the system easier to handle, particularly when carrying equipment in bags or storing it in limited spaces.
5. Better Thermal Separation
Heat can accelerate lithium-ion battery aging. Power inverters generate heat while converting DC power into AC electricity.
Separating the inverter from the battery allows the inverter to be positioned with adequate ventilation, potentially reducing unnecessary heat exposure to the battery.
This can help support battery longevity when the system is operated and stored correctly.
6. Lower Long-Term Ownership Costs
Batteries and inverters have different operating lifetimes.
With a modular design, you may only need to replace the component that has worn out or failed.
This can be more economical than replacing an entire integrated power station.
7. Flexible Battery Capacity
The modular design provides flexibility to select compatible batteries according to your energy requirements.
Depending on the inverter's specifications and manufacturer-approved compatibility, different battery capacities may be used.
You can therefore plan for shorter or longer operating periods without permanently tying your energy storage capacity to one inverter enclosure.
8. Easier Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The battery, inverter, charger and connection cables can be inspected and tested independently.
This makes it easier for qualified personnel to identify which component requires attention.
9. Less Electronic Waste
A modular system allows functional components to remain in service when another component requires replacement.
This can reduce unnecessary disposal of working electronics and encourage responsible battery replacement and recycling.
10. More Flexible Installation
The battery and inverter can be positioned separately to suit the available installation space.
This is useful for portable equipment, custom power systems and applications where ventilation or space is limited.
Always use appropriately rated cables and follow manufacturer installation requirements.
11. Convenient Backup Planning
Keep an additional compatible battery charged and ready for emergency use.
The same inverter can be reused with each battery, providing a flexible way to prepare for power outages or extended outdoor activities.
12. Independent Component Upgrades
As your power requirements change, compatible battery or inverter components may be upgraded independently.
Any replacement must meet the required voltage, current, connector and safety specifications.
Important:
A modular system is not necessarily lighter or smaller in total than every integrated power station with the same energy capacity. Its primary advantages are separate handling, easier component replacement, maintenance flexibility and the ability to swap compatible batteries.

Why Pure Sine Wave Power Matters
A pure sine wave inverter produces AC electricity with a waveform that closely resembles the electricity supplied by household wall outlets.
This is generally preferable to modified sine wave power for many sensitive electronic devices.
Pure sine wave output can help improve compatibility with electronic power adapters, audio/video equipment, certain motors, battery chargers and other equipment that may not operate properly on modified sine wave power.
Depending on the device, pure sine wave power may also reduce electrical buzzing and interference.

Understanding the 300W Output Rating
The inverter is rated for 300W AC output. However, the maximum usable output of the complete power station depends on the battery's discharge-current rating, battery voltage and inverter conversion efficiency.
The BX3694 battery is rated for 10A continuous discharge. At its specified 37V nominal voltage, this corresponds to approximately 370W DC input power.
At an assumed 85% inverter efficiency, approximately 315W AC could theoretically be available under nominal conditions, subject to the inverter's own 300W output rating.
As the battery voltage decreases, the maximum available AC output may also decrease.
For example, at 30V battery voltage and 10A discharge current, the battery can supply approximately 300W DC. At 85% efficiency, this corresponds to approximately 255W AC.
Important:
Although the inverter is rated for 300W, the complete battery-and-inverter system may not sustain a full 300W AC load throughout the battery's entire discharge cycle. Actual output depends on battery voltage, current limits, temperature and protection thresholds.
Estimated Battery Runtime
The BX3694 battery stores approximately 300Wh of rated energy.
Actual AC runtime depends on the connected device's average power consumption, inverter conversion losses, battery condition, temperature and inverter standby consumption.
The following estimates use an illustrative 85% energy-delivery factor, without separately accounting for inverter no-load consumption.
| Average AC Load |
Estimated Runtime |
| 20W | Up to approximately 12.8 hours |
| 40W | Up to approximately 6.4 hours |
| 60W | Up to approximately 4.3 hours |
| 100W | Up to approximately 2.6 hours |
| 150W | Up to approximately 1.7 hours |
| 200W | Up to approximately 1.3 hours |
| 250W | Up to approximately 1.0 hour |
Illustrative calculation:
300Wh × 0.85 ÷ average AC load in watts.
These are theoretical estimates rather than guaranteed operating times. Actual runtime may be substantially shorter, especially at low loads, because the inverter itself consumes power.
The original inverter specification lists a no-load current of 0.5A. At 36V, this corresponds to approximately 18W of idle DC consumption if that specification is accurate.
At higher AC loads, battery discharge-current and voltage limitations may also shorten runtime.
Extend Runtime with Additional Batteries
The modular design allows additional compatible charged batteries to be carried and used sequentially.
For example:
- One 300Wh battery provides 300Wh of rated stored energy.
- Two 300Wh batteries provide a combined 600Wh of rated energy when used sequentially.
- Three 300Wh batteries provide a combined 900Wh of rated energy when used sequentially.
- Four 300Wh batteries provide a combined 1,200Wh of rated energy when used sequentially.
You can reuse the same inverter with each battery, avoiding the need to purchase a complete additional power station.
This is particularly convenient for camping, extended fieldwork, outdoor events, remote work and emergency backup planning.
Battery Connection Safety:
Use additional batteries individually and sequentially. Turn off the inverter before changing batteries. Do not connect multiple batteries in series or parallel unless expressly approved by the battery manufacturer.
