Great video, you’re the first KZbinr I’ve watched on these systems that explain in simple terms how much real world items use 🤙 these are both the systems I want to buy !

[@toddelfers]

Awesome! Glad I could help!

[@kateontheroad6437]

Fabulous video, thank you for posting. I love your sink!

[@toddelfers]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@jaymedina3142]

Awesome setup, enjoyed the video!! Love your trailer!

[@toddelfers]

Awesome!! Thanks!

[@michaelvinalon3415]

Excellent video, very thorough and explained capabilities of the Bluetti units !

[@toddelfers]

Thank you!!

[@johnbarton4594]

Thank you Todd. Needed to actually see how you did your calculations. I'm a visual person and you are the first one that has helped me understand how to calculate these things. VERY HELPFUL. Great tests as well. Thank you I liked and of course subscribed. Thanks again.

[@toddelfers]

Fantastic! Thanks!❤️

[@flyfisherman3649]

Just bought this for $669 on the Black Friday special...

[@toddelfers]

That's a smoking deal!

[@debbiedogs1]

I am thinking I will get one on this Black Friday deal. Will decide by Friday.

[@Nigriff]

Yup, we stole it

[@BLUExEYEDxSLICKT]

$599 here and it’s on sale right now on Amazon for $579.

[@ChuckisOutside]

Thanks for the video. I have been following your cargo trailer build. I am currently building our second trailer. I have an AC 180 for our build. I plan on using it for both AC power and DC lights. You have some great ideas.

[@toddelfers]

Thanks!!

[@sherryh7485]

Thank you, very informative. I learned a few facts!

[@toddelfers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chris5942]

Very nice real world video. Thank you!

[@toddelfers]

Glad you liked it!

[@belindan4974]

👏🏼 Nice! I’ve watched several of these videos cause I’d like to use my little one-cup Keurig. You showed me exactly what I needed to see. Looks like I’m investing in a BluettiAC180 for my old rv camper. ☕️ Never took the plunge with a Honda generator ($1100) or Yamaha (too tall) for the outside compartment. Now with these power stations, it seems to be more affordable and almost maintenance free. 😜 Thank you! ☕️

[@toddelfers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@krazytimes]

cool set up. you really know your electricity

[@toddelfers]

I try! Thanks!

[@akira5982]

That remote start genny is cool as fudge 😎

[@toddelfers]

It'd awesome!!!

[@lynnhackworth7563]

Great video!! I'm looking to do a van build in near future. This is the video I've been looking for. I didn't want to deal with batteries or solar. What you have done is the basics and I greatly appreciate it. I have subscribed and I look forward to watching more videos. LOL where are you located? I vacation in Wisconsin every Memorial Day weekend I may need a tutorial LMAO

[@toddelfers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BlueMoon-pz9pp]

I debated on this Bluetti AC180 and the EcoFlow Delta 2 but got a great deal on the EcoFlow Delta 2 for $703 on Amazon prime day but never received it. -Today after 3wks they said Fed Ex lost the pkg. So disappointed, I have a $703 refund being processed. To me it was a sign that I wasn’t supposed to have it. -So your vid pops up and solidifies the Bluetti for me plus it has more watt hours! Really impressed how you spoke on the ground, have never seen any vids for either product that addressed it. Impressive setup you have.

[@toddelfers]

Awe man that $ucks! Hope it all works out! Glad the video helped our!

[@BLUExEYEDxSLICKT]

FedEx are idiots I hate them so much. They’re slow as Moses on delivery’s. I love UPS they’re way faster and don’t lose my packages or lazy delivering to the wrong addresses. I swear if I find out someone on Amazon uses fedex I avoid buying their products anymore.

[@BLUExEYEDxSLICKT]

You should’ve made AMAZON ship you another one. I wouldn’t accept a refund when getting a good price on a product. That’s Amazons fault not yours they’d of shipped you another one if you would’ve complained to them about their shipment getting lost. FedEx would liable to pay Amazon back.

[@mclaine33]

You can ground the AC180 with the supplied wingnut if you need it grounded.

[@toddelfers]

I did 👍

[@iandalton9147]

I am buying an AC180 to run an Ikea induction hob (2000w) & was looking for an expansion option. Not anymore. After watching this video ! I am now expanding with an AC60 to run my DC appliances, predominantly.! You're much smarter than me ! 0 was looking for an expansion option

[@toddelfers]

Glad you enjoyed the video

[@Stealther]

At 17:40 I think you have the airflow reversed. The fan on the right side is a pull fan and is pulling air out of the unit and the fan on the left side is the push fan, pushing air into it.

[@toddelfers]

I don't think you get the option in the app or screen to change it

[@BLUExEYEDxSLICKT]

It’s $579 right now on Amazon. Bought mine 2 weeks prior for $599.

[@toddelfers]

Smoking deal!

[@subaruforester5062]

I got my ac180 a week ago on Amazon canada 999$ down from 1499$ then with a 500$ coupon code off. I got this unit shipped to me for 573$ 0.32cents per watt

[@toddelfers]

Good deal!

[@sixshooter4570]

Nice video. The less watts you have under load the less efficient it is, at around 30 watt the efficiency will drop to approximately 52%. I'd have to look at the AC load chart again as I'm just going by memory. A Google Search: Is it typical a smaller load on a AC inverter will cause it to be less efficient? Answer: . "The efficiency of an inverter varies with the load. Typically, it will be highest at about two thirds of the inverter's capacity. This is called its "peak efficiency." The inverter requires some power just to run itself, so the efficiency of a large inverter will be low when running very small loads."

[@toddelfers]

👍😊👍

[@wendyorides8337]

Please tell us about the green ground wire on the AC180. Do you need it because you are charging using a generator? I'm looking to use my AC180 to increase my battery power in my 1996 Jayco. My coach battery is under the hood so not much room to expand.

[@toddelfers]

Probably don't need it but it doesn't hurt is what I'm thinking. It took me Probably 5min to run a wire from the ac180 to my breaker box ground bar so why not right?

[@ChuckisOutside]

How far apart should I space the puck lights?

[@toddelfers]

I just spaced them evenly over the bed area, and as needed in the kitchen with one over the door. I don't think there is any real standard

[@markfen88]

Can you cover this as a topic? The BLUETTI device has a MAJOR security vulnerability. The bluetooth is always enabled when the device is powered on and it is not secured by any authentication or prompt on the device. There is also no way to disable the bluetooth. This means that anyone can connect to the device using the app via the bluetooth interface and control the power station (turn on/off power). This becomes a vulnerability in that critical systems can be turned off, systems that are required for animals (automated feeding systems, fish tank aerators) can be affected putting the wellbeing and life of animals at risk, and at worst, any medical devices can be turned off with a risk to human life.

[@toddelfers]

Interesting! Didn't know this! Thanks

[@devilmaycry6510]

Even if it’s enabled it won’t connect to other devices only u have to disconnect from one to connect to one that’s how it works

[@Mr_nah]

Is it normal that my ac180 has a clicking relay when it’s connected to the solar at sunset/sunrise? AC/DC is off. Apparently, it's not enough sun to charge it and it makes clicking noises every few minutes.

[@toddelfers]

Probably as the panels just get enough power input to kick in the solar power input on and off until it gets enough power to keep it constant

[@Mr_nah]

@@toddelfers I also have eb3a and several ecoflow and none of them have this clicking noise. Also, for some reason, if nothing is connected to the ac180 it automatically shut down the display and the device itself after just one minute. So there is no way for me to remotely turn on ac or dc.

[@toddelfers]

Did you update the firmware yet?

[@Mr_nah]

Yes, it has the latest firmware

[@timothyrailey7029]

You can get a refurbished one for $479 right now! Straight from Bluetti

[@toddelfers]

That's a smoking deal!

[@tdog5613]

Got mine for $600

[@toddelfers]

Thats a SMOKING deal!

[@kenjohnson961]

All that romex and bx cable exposed is installed against code and is a hazard.

[@toddelfers]

Thats 12volt DC! 🙄...Wiring is exposed in new construction houses in the basement which leads into the circuit breaker = sorry... but you're wrong.... are you saying there is codes for converted cargo trailers? Really? The only exposed wire is in the area behind the TV area that goes to a 120volt circuit breaker box unless you're talking about the 12volt DC...?... rest is AC stranded wire in conduit if you watch the wiring series in the playlist area. Rest of exposed is low voltage 12volt DC which is what you're probably talking about. If the shielded wire goes to a light it's 12volt DC..... if it goes to an outlet then it is 120volt AC and is stranded wire in flex conduit.

[@user-rp1vu1gk5u]

for $250 more you can get the pecron 2000lfp. no taxes or shipping on that one. thoughts?

[@toddelfers]

This only cost me $779 before tax. $2500 more is a huge step in price. I think it really depends on how much more watt hours you really need. The AC180 has a huge 1800 watt inverter but with only 1152 watt hours. It's fantastic for running appliances that require a lot of power for a short period of time like a coffee maker.... not an air-conditioning unit for extended period of time.

[@user-rp1vu1gk5u]

@@toddelfers $250, my mistake.

[@toddelfers]

That's not a bad deal actually. Looks like it is $300 more tho
