Thanks for watching!! Any questions just ask!

That Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series sounds like the perfect companion for going off-grid! It offers massive capacity, fast recharging, and versatile sockets. Plus, the waterproof technology is a big bonus for outdoor adventures. Have any of you tried it already? Let's discuss!

[@kevinjones2779]

sure would like someone to do a good video on hooking up the pv200 panels to this. i see tons of videos on features. i need a step by step on the pv200. i am totally new to all of this. Bluetti's user guide looks like it was written for a nasa person. LOL

[@briant2259]

I got an AC300 and 4 B300 and solar panels primarily for grid down times (storms) and be prepared. But I now use it 24/7 with a transfer switch powering the home office with window ac and kitchen to save money with time of use from the power company. So I am making some of the money spent on the AC300 back each day. On sunny days I have gotten 2.2kw of solar input for a few hours. Also have a propane generator for grid down times to charge the Bluetti back up for the night (so a loud generator is not running). So far I am having fun and feels kind of cool that I am powering part of our home with solar sun power! Thanks for your videos. 👍

[@PracticalPreparedness]

Awesome setup Briant!

[@ericarnaud7983]

Evening all....i see many people are starting to wake up a bit and starting to look at alternatives to conventional power sources. I am in the middle of converting my whole country home over to solar in case of a no power situation. I have found out the best for me in my city place, a solar generator and a bi fuel generator to charge it along with the solar panels along with extra batteries storage. ✔️

[@PracticalPreparedness]

Solid base for emergency preparedness. Thanks for supporting and watching!

[@kristosvt]

Got mine off of eBay for $1600, both inverter and battery

[@Gabrielx-nq5ob]

Just want it for tiny home

[@BigBlue1026]

Another great video. I always look forward to your new videos ever since you turned me on to the poor mans Berkey. Thank you. My main concerns in a long term grid down situation are firstly to get water out of my well for drinking and cooking and secondly to maintain the feed on my stoker coal stove. The coal stove only uses 19Wh and a rotation of my three battery generators will keep that going. As for the well, I have a whole house generator that I could run for 5 minutes a week just to pump enough water into my water jugs to last a week or more. At that rate the propane for the whole house generator should last well over a year and possibly two years. I have 100 gallon rain barrels that I could use to collect water from my gutter to flush toilets as needed. If needed I also have a small Honda inverter generator and over 100 gallons pf fuel for it.

[@PracticalPreparedness]

Solid plan, I like it. It’s meeting your needs based on your concerns, that’s what it’s all about! Thanks for supporting the channel! I know there are manual well buckets that are made to pull from the private wells too as a backup of a backup some may find useful.

[@BigBlue1026]

@@PracticalPreparedness I have a spool of rope with a PVC pipe bail that I made to get water from the well as a last resort. I try to have to have back ups for my back ups.

[@markwhite6782]

I just ordered the AC300+B300+(2) PV 420. This is my first jump to the solar community so I hope I didn't by a lemon because I don't know sh*t about these things or electricity. One thing I do know is I'm not going 6 days without any power with a bitchy wife again. If I like it I would consider buying at least 1 more B300 battery. I did a lot of searching on KZbin and started learning things and it "seemed" to me people were very happy with this model. Crossing my fingers!

[@SgtSkrog]

I got the duel set of these via Prime Day deal. Will get more batteries when I can down the road. Why dual? Ton of redundancy built in and 240V option and modular. Will do me fine for what I need off grid. It was this or Ecoflow and that day this was the best deal. They have a new B300S self heating battery as well now that is self heated. I am going to put mine into a root cellar however so do not need heat. The shear amount of solar these can take in is crazy high.

[@PracticalPreparedness]

Those batteries are slick. For me it’s between Bluetti and Ecoflow as my top favs. Good idea for the Self Heating for the root cellar.

[@1polonium210]

I have an AC300 with two B300 batteries. I want to add two more batteries, and to expand that to a split system within the next year or two. My objective is to run the electrical systems of our house on that setup. I also have an AC200 with two expansion batteries. I want to use that to supply power to the smaller Mother-in-Law house on the same property occupied by my daughter and our grandson. We live in Bastrop, TX, about 30 miles east of the People's Republic of Austin, so we get a lot of sunlight during the months of Spring and Summer ... and often during Autumn. I have Bluetti solar panels to match the AC300, but should I plan to substitute an array of other solar panels to power the system?

[@TheMysteryDriver]

Have you hooked these into you homes central line? What would you do for that if you wanted to use batteries?

[@PracticalPreparedness]

I have not but I will be installing a transfer switch to do just this. It’s ok it’s way as we speak in the mail. Hooks up to the main fuse box and allows connection of your power station to the transfer switch

[@felixdacat6572]

Your'e timimng is impecable in my view....Hope a lot of folks check out your "Grid Down" vids....Today is 7/25/23 and tomorrow 7/26/23 there's several "Planned" Grid down test that the US Military will be conducting to evaluate and review their response in the event of a wide spread Grid Down power emergency....Stay Practical...!

[@PracticalPreparedness]

You rock Felix! Good to see you again!

[@felixdacat6572]

@@PracticalPreparedness Ditto.!

[@briant2259]

Last winter we lost grid power for 8 hours. I had 2 B300 and realized we were using power faster than I thought, and had to fire up the generator towards the end. The point is have a family "planned grid down" test. Turn the main breaker off for 8 hours and see what you need need. Like a can opener, books or games to pass the time, etc.

[@felixdacat6572]

@@briant2259 ✔✔👍👍...I absolutely agree....No sense in finding out the hard way, scampering around trying to put something together during an actual emergency instead of running a couple of drills and tweaking the kinks.

[@TheMysteryDriver]

What do you think of the Ford F-150 electric? That can be used as a generator for your home.

[@PracticalPreparedness]

I think it’s a great backup, but you’d need to buy the truck and I’m not shelling out that cash for that feature personally. Doesn’t change the fact I want an electric truck though!

[@mcadder]

How do one charge this via dc-dc, from the car battery?

[@PracticalPreparedness]

There is a car charger if you want to charge slowly from car alternator. Otherwise you can charge from ac inverter from battery

[@emmetthitechew7864]

How long does it take to recharge it if you have sun 8 hours a day? Would you need 8 350 w solar panels?

[@PracticalPreparedness]

Should charge within 1.25 hours if you maxed the 2400 watt input via solar

[@sanchezable]

Is it a true 30amp plug to pull 30amp

[@PracticalPreparedness]

From what I can see yes

[@JOHNBANNON-ib3cj]

I have a ac200max and 2 pv350s..The B230 AND the B300 are WAY to expensive!!! I NEED one to run medical equipment, I have saved half the money for that. Bluetti should HELP people like me!!= Power goes out A LOT where I live! RURAL Canada. Bl;uetti GIVES these away for REVIEW! MANY of them! I need a break or SOME help NOW!!! ..God Bless!!.......JB/ PEI Canada............PS I bought a Bluetti because I thought and think they were the BEST ones!

[@TheMysteryDriver]

So start a KZbin channel and review power supplies

[@pemborsky]

​@@TheMysteryDriverExcellent point. Andor start a gofundme to help offset smaller costs which otherwise would take away from savings for medical equipment.
