It’s these videos that make my wife mad at you. She knows what’s coming next when I watch these: “Hey honey, I need one of these.” Ha!! Good review.

[@wakawaka1976]

Ha I almost bought a $3600 package ecoflow delta pro and 400w Solar panel…. Wife laughed at me. Said I could since she has a check coming in… but I don’t need it. Bye bye prime day

[@Learned.Redneck]

[@tybrady4598]

They’re on sale right now for $649. I just bought two of them instead of the AC200. It has all the watts I need for input and output, so I didn’t need the extra watt output from the AC200. The storage is actually a tiny bit more with two of these than the AC200. That allows me to be charging one in the sun while I’m parked in the shade using the other one keeping my fridge cold. I’ll use the 420 watt fold up solar panel to keep them charged.

I really want to like Bluetti but I've had THREE of their products go bad on me and was ghosted by them EACH TIME when trying to get them to honor their warranty. Disgusting customer service. It turns out it's apparently a regular thing for Bluetti to make warranty repair as difficult as possible. Don't take my word for it. You can easily google "Bluetti warranty problems " and you'll get post after post of their garbage customer service...unless you have a semi large youtube or social media...then they are quick as lighting to respond.

Just ordered one 799 with shipping!!!! Thanks for the video!!!

[@florindagonzalez5700]

That looks a lot easier to carry than my ap200. I'm 5'1" and I got the ap200 because I THOUGHT I was gonna take it every where with me until I realized I can only lift it, but not carry it (e.g. carry and walk with it). So, wherever it ended up as a home base unit and does not travel with me because I do not have a man to carry heavy things for me. So, I opted out for eb70s because they stopped carrying the one that looks like a suitcase shape with 1000watts. I also have the eb55, but I needed more power, though I appreciate it for what it is.

Appreciate the video and information in regards to this new bluetti power station just to let you know based on your video I decided to pull the trigger this morning as well I have the blue bluetti AC 2000 max and the AC70 which I'm happy with, but unfortunately it is not as powerful as I would like for it to be especially being small I like the size and like you said this new one AC180 is the sweet spot.👍💪👍

[@sonsoflibertyoverland]

That does look like a sweet size power station. That's wild it can charge that fast! In our group we have the EB3A, EB55 and AC200max. One trick we have done in our rigs is to duel charge them. Charge AC power with an inverter and then DC through a 12V port. But we boosted our 12V to 24V. Getting a combined 380watts into the EB55 so can charge that in under 90 minutes. Then we are getting 660watts into the AC200max. Not bad for vehicle charging and much better than the standard 100w most people do in their rigs. If you have any of the other Bluetti systems I highly recommend looking into duel charging them and adding a 24V booster wired up correctly.

[@user-pp9ot5ul4n]

Good job Matt, this is the first review of yours I have watched and I am impressed. I just ordered one of these and with the $20 discount it came in at $779 plus tax, so very competitive. It does not check all the boxes for me but just as close as others in this size. I also would like other 12 VDC options on the out put side as well as a higher allowable DC input voltage as the ability to configure panels and wiring to actually reach 500 watts, within the 60 VDC range is tough.

[@Missourilonewolf]

Great Video at a great time. I'm getting ready add a fridge and power station. I was going to go with a different brand because I was thinking the bluetti 70 would work most of the time but I would be worried about being close to running out on some trips. The 200max is way more than what I will ever need, why would I pay the cost for the 200max if I wasn't going to ever use all the power from it. To me, that would be a waste of money. If I get the 180, and for some reason down the road I needed more power, I will just pick up the battery pack for the 180. So now, I'm back to looking at the bluetti again. I will be watching for this. As for USB ports, you can never have enough. I'm looking to add 4 more permanent ones to my JK as soon as I come up with a way to add them and make them look like a factory install. Even my camp lights that are also a bug/mosquito light, only charge with USB. Thanks Matt. Great timing video for me!

[@OutOfOfficeCamping]

Thank you Matt for sharing the latest and greatest! I've said the same thing which was the missing mid size Bluetti. I believe a 1000 watt is the best all around size. For two reasons 1) Weight 2) Enough power with power in the bank (cloudy days). I also believe the benefit of 2 1000 watt units are you can use each for different systems plus have the convenience of easy to carry around and if one fails you still have power. We just picked up our second AC200 (MAX) for our Purpose Built Adventure Rig. While we could have built a Victron System it's still cheaper to just buy a all in one system. Cheaper, lighter and you can take it any place just like a boom box. 😂 Bluetti just keeps pushing the offerings! I personally feel currently they're really #1 with EcoFlow right behind them. Happy Camping! Mark (& Teresa) Hampstead Maryland Ford Ranger - GFC Camper V2 #1919

[@ErvigHenry]

Thank you for your comment, Mark! I completely agree with your points about the benefits of a mid-size power station like the Bluetti AC180. It's great to have a reliable power source for camping and outdoor adventures. Have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It offers massive capacity, fast recharging, and versatile sockets, making it a fantastic choice for outdoor enthusiasts like us. I highly recommend checking it out for your Purpose Built Adventure Rig! Happy camping!

[@OutOfOfficeCamping]

​@ErvigHenry Never heard of them. After having an off brand powerstation which a company sent us and lasted 8 months. Nope! That company was non responsive after we had issues and I wasn't the only one. I'd rather spend a bit more money for a quilty product. Not saying what your suggestions isn't worth the $$$. I'm just not going to try to find out nor would I recommend something I've never used. Hope it works out well for you. I'll stick with name brand products with a good track record and strong warranty. That's why we only use and purchase powerstation from Bluetti. Up to 5 year warranty based on the model.

[@Wuldier]

As always, Matt! Love the videos on these things! I did get the EB55 based off your older reviews, it’s been absolutely great! Right now the the Ac180 is only 650 bucks, would you recommend the AC180 without solar panel for 650 or the AC70 with solar panel for 700? It’s a tough one for me lol, and I’ll keep the EB55 around due to the fact it has more connections and i absolutely love the light on the back of it, shame that’s gone from the newer ones.

[@gods_country_overland]

Oh! Thats pretty sweet.

[@ian9toes]

They should have had an Anderson plug for the 12v input and allowed a lot more than 10amp input. For perspective DC2DC chargers can allow up to 50 amp input.

[@darryljohnson2535]

Great review lots of info. I recently purchased a Honda 2200 gas Generator, here's why. i live in Canada and found that the Solar Generator Power stations really don't perform very well when I camp in the fall and winter months, battery runs low very quickly when in use. having said that, this Bluetti AC180 will be ideal in the summer months for me. its been added to the wish list. thanks again for a great review.

Great review! Perfect size for many applications. Can it run a diesel heater via the 12V cig socket? Most diesel heaters have a 20amp fuse, and many of these power units only have 10amp 12v sockets. So my thinking, is the start up voltage for the heater will blow the 12v socket fuse? Your thoughts greatly appreciate.

Hi Matt, Can you clarify the portion about charging via your inverter. Are you saying that you can use an AC to DC power supply to charge faster than just DC? Does that still work even though the inverter in your gladiator is not a pure sine wave inverter? And which charging brick would you reccomend for that? Thank you!

[@thejose24]

Awesome review as always. Hoping for it to be sub $749 for early bird.!

[@davidcarrico3385]

A significant change on the dc output is that it supports 10.5 amps instead of just 10amps, so it should theoretically power a diesel heater without a problem (most are limited to 10amps which causes a problem for diesel heaters).

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I've never had an issue running a diesel heater on a Bluetti power station.

[@davidcarrico3385]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I believe others have since 10amp is right at the edge of what the glo plug requires to get up to temp. It works for some and not for others, but 10.5 should offer enough extra where it won’t be an issue.

[@VanninBlack]

ya sadly my eb3a wouldn't run my planar portable heater

[@davidcarrico3385]

@@VanninBlack I bought an ac to dc converter rated at much higher amps to overcome that since the eb3a supports up to 600w ac. The eb3a has the capability to power the planar within its core, it just doesn’t provide direct access to it via dc.

Thank you for sharing your insights! It's great to hear that the Bluetti AC180 has an improved dc output that can potentially solve the issue with diesel heaters. If you're looking for a versatile power station, the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series might interest you. It offers a massive capacity, powerful output, fast recharging, and even waterproof technology. It's worth considering for your outdoor adventures or as a reliable home backup power source.

MacBooks, PC's, tablets, Androids, + the upcoming iPhone 15, ALL have moved on to USB C for power. Just One C port? So of all those devices, I can only power or charge one at a time while 4 old type A-ports sit idle. Duh. Nice unit tho. Nice review.

[@Thergood]

Hey Matt, one thing you should test with these when you get a chance is the cold performance. I have an issue with my Bluetti EB70s, in colder mornings at camp (40-50 degrees and under) if I try to draw a decent load on it, like using my collapsible kettle, pulling 600-700 watts, the battery instantly goes to zero charge and stops working on me. It won't work until I put it on the charger for a while. I'm afraid to purchase something like this if it won't work in moderate cold temps.

[@worldcomicsreview354]

My AC200Max does the same on winter mornings, from 90-something to zero overnight. Apparently it's issues with the BMS reporting the battery level. I found the issue goes away if you just don't turn it off! I leave my DC outputs on all the time now, this prevents the unit from turning off, and seems to have a neglibile parasitic load (even my crappy, ill-placed solar setup negates it). Only turn the AC on when you need it, though!

[@Thergood]

@@worldcomicsreview354 Thanks. I’ll try this.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

It’s not supposed to do that.

[@ZxAMobile]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures well, it is designed to do that because it’s a safety feature Lipo4 batteries can’t operate in freezing temps. My eb55 does this in super cold mornings. To prevent this I would recommend putting some reflective bubble wrap around it. If you know it’s going to be cold and problem solved also good for the battery health in general and should be done regardless. Also, this applies to keeping your battery in a very hot location (shed/car) you should not exceed 115°.

EXACTLY one of my planned uses. Bought it yesterday.

[@markfen88]

@@02532gary I would suggest you return it and buy an ANKER or something. 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.

My old EB70s with a brick charger will work so I have to take it along with the ac180 to charge it. I can plug the ac180 into the eb70 and it eventually will charge both using the stock 400 watt inverter. I could use the 12 volt cigarette socket but that would lake much longer.

Here is a free piece of advice for your Bluetti (DONT THROW THE BOX OUT!) your going to need it! Shipping weight about 65lbs UPS shipping over $100 your cost - EVEN UNDER WARRANTY! Since nobody can fix it but them (Proprietary parts). Wait till the battery starts failing like a laptop, you know the meter says 95% - 5 hours left, and in 10 minutes it says 6% left charge battery or shut down. Me, Ill just put more gas in but not in near 10 minutes. How much will they charge you to replace that battery that didnt last as long as they said but its just outside the warranty period? You might as well buy a new unit, (If you havent learned your lesson) Ill just put a little fuel stabilizer in the gas, change the oil once a year maybe the air filter, possibly a spark plug every 10 years. It will probably run forever, if not - anybody local can fix it. Good luck with it 🤣

He won't do that. He's on their payroll

[@kailuagary1]

Matt love the channel. Because of your review I bought the AC180 and now I want to add the T500 power adapter to plug into the stock plug in my Gladiator. However, I don’t see that the T500 is compatible with the AC180? Bluetti is no help. Can you confirm what you’re using to charge in your Gladiator from the stock AC110v? Thanks. Keep up the great work!!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Mine isn't the T500 its the one that comes with the older EB70s. It's like 200 watts. The T500 pulls too much power to run off the AC outlet in the Jeep.

[@kailuagary1]

Thanks Matt. Bluetti finally answered my email and yes they don’t recommend the T5000. Thanks again

[@jwaynegreen4100]

Hi, picked up one of these after watching this. Curious, what is your setup to charge this while driving? Trying to get around the slow charging of the 12volt outlet.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I showed that in the video. I use an old Bluetti power brick to plug into the inverter in my gladiator.

[@johnfitzgerald5158]

Matt, So besides some of the extra features, what are the biggest operating differences between this and a Jackery 1000?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Besides form factor and more outputs the biggest thing is chemistry. Jackery is Lithium Ion which only has 500 cycles. The Bluetti is LifePo4 which has 3500 cycles.

[@johnfitzgerald5158]

@Ozark Overland Adventures damn, so including all the other doodads, by price per life this thing is a bargain. I have a Jack 1000 right now, but this is good info for future thought for me.

[@andrewstocker7457]

Hey Matt great review, this looks like the answer to my power problem. I spoke with you and asked you @Moore about your aux battery set up... i am glad i waited to purchase anything, THIS AC180 could live in the bed of my firecracker RED version of Sully, under the metal roll up bed cover, and with a decent sized solar panel on the black rhino pioneer rack on the cab keeping it topped off, i shouldn't have to worry about power again... can the Buetti accept multiple power inputs at same time ( like solar and dc power when truck is running) and/or switch between what input power it is being fed? (or do i still need some sort of charge controller {REDARC, KINGS etc.}) thanks in advance for any input, and keep up the great content...

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

The Bluetti only has one DC input so there’s no way to connect two charging methods other than AC and DC and the AC will always be faster.

[@andrewstocker7457]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures but the JT does not have the required sine wave inverter on board... can one buy just the "brick" power cord as shown in the vid from Blueti as a work around?

[@bradpost3404]

Great review Matt, following along with the same question. Can you charge with a/c in put in a vehicle outlet along with solar w/o swapping the power input? I was wondering if there was only one source allowed at a time. Thanks! Keep up the great work!

[@Nigriff]

I bought one for $649 last night on sale

[@txpushrod62]

What would you recommend for running a 40 ft Super C in the desert running three 15k AC with enough solar to keep the AC's running and batteries fully charged daily. Wanting to unplug from pedestal, plug it into a plug on the RV, (from power source), and go on my way with enough power to do anything I want to do including boon-dock until my black tank is full or out of fresh water.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Not having any clue how much power those use I'm confident this isn't it. See my latest video on the Bluetti AC300.

[@AdrianoBarbosaPezao]

Great vídeo … can you guys help me with my question please? … I have my motorcycle in a storage with no outlets and I’d like to keep the battery tender connected to this power station 24/7. Do you know how long the power station would keep charging ? Does The power station shuts off automatic and when completely charge the battery and turns in automatic when it needs charging? The battery tender’s plug says 12V continuously and alternately and 750mA.. thanks a lot for your help

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Not a clue how long that would last. I've never used one of those before,

[@needsofnavy5586]

Could this run my Marshall JCM 800 guitar amp double stack? Mobile live shows in a rural area would be cool

[@bernswonger57]

The Hobo done a review, their is a buzz when powering an amp, part of keeping the cost down.

[@TimCasanova]

can you keep this thing hooked to solar 24/7?

[@bill9912]

I wonder how much power would draw if you plugged in an 8-quart Instant Pot and ran it for 60 minutes.

[@dsawyer8]

Over panel this with 600 watts of solar would be great. Or a small gas generator.

[@philigan2339]

The sale price on the AC180 as of 4-14-24 is GREAT! There is already an "improved" version called the AC180P. Does anyone think the extra money for the AC180P is worth it???? That's a huge difference in price but it is about 300Wh increase. $650 vs $1000

[@Patton0911]

I wish they had more DC outlets.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Me too

[@steve_and_lolas_hikes]

What was the power of the hair dryer?

[@carolmaplesden916]

what is the highest watts solar panel that blui ette offers that i can use on this

[@Merkurio84]

Quick question, how long will it keep a Iceco VL35 going? 8-10 hours? I have two and want to use one only for my fridge and another one for everything else.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Several days.

[@PittiesAndMore]

I just ordered a AC180 and received a little discount using your discount code. 👍🏽 Actually, I received a big discount using your code at Iceco as well. I bought the Iceco VL60ProS on sale for 20% off the Christmas sale and put in your discount code for another 10% off the sales price. 👍🏽 Also, I purchased some Iceco accessories using your code. 🙂 Unfortunately, I think they caught on and stopped your discount code from last year. 🤷🏽‍♂️🙂

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Very nice!

[@Tenebrius1963]

You have an AC plug in your Jeep? Where does it get the juice to charge the PPS? (I'm new at this...)

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

It's a factory option.

[@joebloggs6131]

Very good unit, just don't fry it by exceeding the voltage rating.

[@jamessnyder3101]

Question... I'm looking to purchase the AC180, this will be my first Bluetti device, & was also going to purchase the T-500AC adapter to be able to charge the AC180 directly from my trucks AC output as you did in the video. According to the specs, this shouldn't be an issue. I contacted Bluetti directly, which was a bit of a pain as I had to call 3 times to get someone who speaks English well enough to understand what I was asking. The 3rd person understood, put me on hold for a few minutes & eventually told me that they recommended not using the adapter through an inverter that was not pure sine as it could damage the adapter. She also told me that doing this would void the warranty on the adapter & AC180. Could you give me some insight on this?

[@DanielDZuko]

Which version of the T-500AC did you buy and how is it working?
