The Dabbsson DBS1700B is an extra battery specifically designed to expand the capacity of the Dabbsson DBS1300 portable power station. Think of it as a power bank for your power station. It provides an additional 1700Wh of energy, which is a significant boost for running high-power appliances or extending the runtime of your devices during outages or off-grid adventures.
The DBS1700B is designed to work in conjunction with the DBS1300 power station, and it recharges exclusively through this connection. Here's how it works:
The DBS1700B has a dedicated port that allows you to connect it directly to the DBS1300. This connection enables the power station to manage the charging process and distribute power efficiently.
Once connected, you can recharge the DBS1700B using the following methods:
Plug the DBS1300 into a standard AC wall outlet. The power station will then charge both its internal battery and the connected DBS1700B.
Connect compatible solar panels to the DBS1300's solar input port. The power station will convert solar energy to recharge both itself and the DBS1700B.
For the fastest recharge, you can combine AC and solar charging by connecting both the AC power cord and solar panels to the DBS1300.
That's a great question and an important factor to consider when investing in a battery like the DBS1700B. Here's a breakdown of what those numbers mean:
This refers to the estimated overall lifespan of the battery under normal operating conditions. It suggests that the DBS1700B is designed to function effectively for up to 15 years, even with regular use. However, it's important to note that this is an estimate, and the actual lifespan can vary depending on several factors, including:
A charge cycle refers to a complete discharge and recharge of the battery. So, 4500 charge cycles mean you can fully discharge and recharge the DBS1700B approximately 4500 times before you start to notice a significant decline in its capacity.
These two metrics are interconnected. While the battery may have a 15-year lifespan, its capacity to hold a charge will gradually decrease over time and with each charge cycle. Think of it like this:
Even after 4500 cycles or 15 years, the battery may still function, but it may not hold as much charge as it did initially.
The DBS1700B offers a long lifespan and a high number of charge cycles, making it a reliable and durable power solution for various applications. However, it's important to remember that these are estimates, and the actual performance can vary depending on usage and care.
The "stackable" design of the DBS1700B means you can physically connect multiple units to a single DBS1300 power station, increasing its overall capacity. This allows for a modular and scalable power solution that adapts to your specific needs. Here's how it works:
You can stack a maximum of two DBS1700B units onto one DBS1300. This boosts the total capacity from 1330Wh to a substantial 4730Wh.
You can connect two DBS1300 units in parallel using a Dabbsson Parallel Connector. Each DBS1300 can have two DBS1700B units stacked, resulting in a massive total capacity of 9460Wh.
Yes, you can absolutely have multiple DBS1300 systems (each with stacked DBS1700B units) in the same building, powering entirely different and isolated networks of devices. This offers several advantages:
Ensure critical devices have their own dedicated power source, separate from less essential loads.
Distribute power efficiently across multiple systems, preventing overload and ensuring optimal performance.
Tailor each system to the specific needs of different areas or devices within your building. This setup provides flexibility, redundancy, and peace of mind, knowing that you have a robust and adaptable power solution for various scenarios.
