Critical Safety Precautions:

Lithium-ion batteries can pose a fire hazard if mishandled or damaged. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the B300 yourself. High DC voltages are present inside the module, which can cause severe electric shock or death. Always disconnect the B300 from any power sources before performing any inspection or maintenance. If the battery is swelling, smoking, or leaking, evacuate the area immediately and contact emergency services and a qualified electrician. NEC Article 706 covers the system and safety requirements for energy storage systems. A qualified installer is mandatory.

Solution:

1

Disconnect the B300 from the Bluetti power station and any external power sources. Engage the DC disconnect if installed.
2

Visually inspect the B300 module for any signs of physical damage, such as swelling, cracks, or leaks. Do not attempt to use a damaged battery.
3

Using a multimeter, check the voltage at the B300's output terminals. A significantly lower voltage than expected (e.g., below 40V) may indicate a deep discharge or internal fault. Document the reading.
4

Allow the B300 to sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours. This may allow the battery cells to self-balance slightly.
5

Reconnect the B300 to the Bluetti power station and attempt to charge it. Monitor the charging process in the Bluetti app. If the blinking continues or the battery fails to charge, proceed to the next step.
6

Contact Bluetti support and provide the fault code (blinking 7 times) and the voltage reading taken in step
7

Request troubleshooting assistance and warranty information.

If instructed by Bluetti support, a qualified electrician may need to perform advanced diagnostics, such as checking individual cell voltages and BMS functionality. This should only be performed by a trained licensed technician with proper safety equipment, adhering to NEC 706.15 and 706.25 for energy storage systems.

Symptoms:

The Bluetti B300 battery module exhibits a fault condition indicated by a blinking LED indicator, flashing seven times repeatedly. The Bluetti mobile application displays a gray dot, indicating a communication failure or a critical error within the battery module. This usually indicates that the battery has shut down or is in a protected mode.

Pro Tip:

Try connecting the B300 to a different compatible Bluetti power station (if available) to rule out a problem with the original power station's communication port or charging circuitry. Also, some Bluetti devices have a hidden diagnostic menu accessible through a specific button combination during power-up. Consult the device's manual (if available) or Bluetti support for instructions on accessing the diagnostic menu and interpreting the results.

Possible Causes:

Cell voltage imbalance: One or more cells within the B300 module have drifted outside the acceptable voltage range, triggering a BMS protection shutdown.
Over-temperature condition: The battery temperature exceeds the safe operating limit, possibly due to high ambient temperature or internal heat generation during charge/discharge.
Communication failure: A loose connection or faulty communication interface between the B300 and the power station prevents proper data exchange.
BMS malfunction: The BMS itself has failed, resulting in incorrect readings or inability to control the battery.
Over-discharge: The battery has been depleted beyond its safe discharge limit, damaging the cells and triggering a protective shutdown.
Firmware Issue: A software glitch in either the power station or the B300.

Technical Background:

The Bluetti B300 is a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery expansion module designed to increase the capacity of compatible Bluetti power stations. The B300 contains multiple LFP cells connected in series and parallel, a Battery Management System (BMS), and communication interfaces. The BMS monitors cell voltages, temperature, current, State of Charge (SOC), and State of Health (SOH). It provides over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature protection. Blinking LED codes are a common method for indicating specific fault conditions reported by the BMS. A gray dot in the app often signifies a loss of communication between the power station and the B300 battery module.

Maintenance Tips:

Avoid exposing the B300 to extreme temperatures. Operate within the manufacturer's recommended temperature range.
Do not fully discharge the B300 regularly. Shallow discharges are better for long-term battery health.
Periodically check the B300's SOC and SOH in the Bluetti app. Monitor for any signs of degradation.
Keep the B300's terminals clean and free from corrosion.
Ensure the Bluetti power station and B300 firmware are up-to-date.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for capacity testing by fully charging, discharging to minimum SOC and then back to full. Track capacity reduction with each cycle.
