Making two different connectors work together
In the world of portable power stations and batteries, each manufacturer has its own plugs, and market accessories use others. This adapter from Bluetti acts as a bridge between the interface of the brand’s equipment and an XT90-type connector. It spares you from improvising a link with bare wires or risky workarounds.
Usage scenarios
In a household it can allow an existing accessory to be used with a Bluetti station, for example in a backup power project in a garage or outbuilding. For a professional, it is a practical part to carry to a site or an event where elements from various sources are put together.
- link between a Bluetti station and an accessory fitted with XT90;
- trials and commissioning of small stand-alone setups;
- kit of repair accessories.

Safety
Respect the current and power limits of the device, the cable and the accessory, without exceeding any of them. Do not use the adapter if it is damaged, wet or if a plug seems loose. A connector that gets hot must be unplugged at once. Avoid covering the cables or running them where people walk.
Care and storage
Wipe the contacts with a dry cloth, without any liquid product, and keep the adapter in a clean pouch, dry and away from dust. Do not pull on the cables to unplug: always hold the body of the connector. Examine the pins and the housing from time to time: any sign of corrosion, deformation or melting means you must stop using it. A tidy cable layout also makes every future check quicker and safer.
