Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus can be charged from a Tesla Model 3 using Teslaunch V2L Discharge Device.
Testing First Tesla V2L (Vehicle to Load) Adapter If it could Charge another Tesla!
V2L technology allows electric vehicles to directly output stored energy to external devices, such as household appliances and camping equipment. This technology not only enhances the versatility of electric vehicles but also offers users a more flexible energy management solution. Teslaunch's V2L discharge device opens up new possibilities in this field, providing power support for users during camping, outdoor activities, and emergencies.
Features:
- High Power Output: Provides up to 3.6KW of power, supporting multiple devices such as refrigerators, lights, and electronic equipment.
- Safety Assurance: The product undergoes 20 rigorous tests before leaving the factory to ensure safe use.
- User-Friendly Operation: Simple startup and shutdown process.
- Portable Design: Featuring a handle design, it's perfect for camping, outdoor activities, and emergencies.
- Worry-Free Use: Equipped with a backup USB for software updates, ensuring the discharge function remains unaffected by Tesla software upgrades.
Discharge Principle:
- This device is powered by three 18650 batteries, which initiate its operation. Once activated, the internal inverter converts the extracted DC current into household AC power, making it suitable for standard appliances. The car inverter operates on the principle of DC-to-AC conversion.
Compatibility：
- Compatible with all Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X vehicles equipped with CCS functionality.
Discharge Function:
- Usable when the Tesla vehicle's battery is between 20% and 95%
Usage Instructions:
- Safety Information
- Wait for the system to start up successfully before connecting the plug to the car.
- When shutting down, disconnect the load first, turn off the power switch, then unplug the plug and wait 30 seconds to complete shutdown.
- Power On:
- Press the button; the red indicator light will turn on as the system powers up.
- After about 25 seconds, the yellow indicator light will turn on, indicating the system has started successfully.
- Insert the plug into the car; the green indicator light will flash, showing communication with the vehicle.
- When the green indicator light turns solid, the device is discharging and ready for appliance use.
- Power Off:
- Disconnect load appliances.
- Press and hold the button for 2 seconds; the blue indicator light will flash, and unplug the connection.
- After unplugging, the yellow indicator light will turn on; wait 30 seconds for the device to shut down automatically.
Note: Indicator lights are around the button.
Precautions:
- Do not use the device in rainy conditions to avoid damage.
- Maximum discharge power is 3.6KW (15A*2, 120V). Ensure ventilation by not blocking the air outlets and fan.
- Do not open the main unit yourself; tampering voids all warranties.
- If the device is unused for a long period, the internal battery may need charging. Before use, charge the battery for 30 minutes with a DC12V power supply via the DC5.5 interface.

FAQ
Q1: What is the initial peak tolerance? I see it provides two 15A outlets, so I assume I could plug in two window air conditioners or refrigerators that typically use 15A wall outlets, but I'm not sure if the product manages the initial power-on peak.
A1: The initial peak current is 32A with a tolerance of 5%. This product is suitable for common 15A electronics, so you can use it with confidence.
Q2: Does this device tap directly into the high-voltage battery? If so, how much power is required to run the necessary systems to extract energy from the high-voltage pack? Does it need to drive the PCS and all modules, or can it just drive the contactor to supply power to this device? This would allow it to operate efficiently in standby mode for several days.
A2: This power extractor indeed pulls energy from the vehicle's high-voltage battery, then converts it to household AC power via an inverter. How long it can run depends on the vehicle's battery level and the power demands of your appliances. As shown below, the vehicle’s display will indicate the remaining usage time.
Q3: Are there any vehicle restrictions? Can I use this with a 2014 Model S? Can you explain how this operates? Does the vehicle output AC or DC?
A3: There are currently no vehicle restrictions. This product is designed for Teslas without built-in discharge functionality, and it outputs AC power. Its operation principle is as follows: the extractor contains three 18650 batteries for startup. Once the machine is running and converts power to household AC, an internal module recharges the batteries. With regular use, it can maintain functionality, but if unused for over a year, an external charger can recharge the startup batteries.
Q4: What does the car think is happening when power is plugged in?
A4: When plugged in, this discharge process is based on the basic charging principle. For example, if the car is charged to 100%, discharge won’t work, similar to how charging doesn’t continue when the battery is full. Additionally, when the vehicle's charge drops to 20%, the remaining energy will be reserved for essential vehicle functions. Therefore, discharge can be used when the battery is between 20% and 95%, with the Tesla display automatically showing usage time and available energy.
Q5: Will Tesla detect this product and disable it?
A5: The product includes a module specifically designed for Tesla vehicles, so you can use it confidently. In fact, some customers have used this device during Tesla owner club gatherings, utilizing it for BBQ and boiling water without issues.
Q6: What is the purpose of the USB in the accessory?
A6: The USB serves to collect data in case the discharger experiences any issues and to update its internal data as needed. As the situations encountered by each discharger can vary, if you happen to face a sudden charging failure, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’ll be happy to provide step-by-step guidance to assist you.

Q7: Why is the vehicle equipped with CCS functionality but still unable to use the discharge device?
A7: Please check if scheduled charging is enabled. You need to disable scheduled charging, as it prevents the discharge device from functioning.
