Technical Insight: Does leaving your unit plugged in 24/7 waste battery cycles?

A very common question I see from new users who want to use their units as a permanent home backup is: "If I leave it plugged into the wall 24/7, am I constantly using up my battery cycles and degrading the LiFePO4 cells?"

The short answer is: No. The EcoFlow engineers designed the EPS (Emergency Power Supply) mode with a physical bypass. When the grid is active, the AC power from your wall flows directly through the station and out to your connected devices. It completely bypasses the internal battery chemistry. The internal cells simply sit perfectly idle at your set maximum charge limit.

A "cycle" only counts when the battery is actually physically discharged and recharged. So, you can confidently leave your station plugged in under your desk all year round knowing that you are not artificially burning through your 3000+ lifecycles while waiting for the next blackout.
