Wouldn't you know it? I buy my Bluetti last year, and they fix my two dislikes (max output and ability to charge from the vehicle cigarette lighter). It looks like this unit should be able to run a table saw, which my old one would not. I've used my "old school" Bluetti to do a lot of building out in the woods. Friends have been amazed that one little box can run radial arm saws, drill presses, jig saws, work lights, and or course keep all the cell phones and 18 volt power tool batteries charged up. One more thing you could ask them to do is offer an upgrade for existing customers. Oh, and BTW, I have several MaxOak brnaded products, some over 6 years old, so whoever is behind that brand name has very high standards.

Awesome review Will that led me to purchase one of these units about 6 months ago. It has operated flawlessly and I use it continuously for a variety of power needs in my class C RV. Since your initial review Bluetti is now shipping a newer, fan cooled wall charger that will input at around 460 watts so a nice bump from the original. I frequently charge simultaneously from both 120 volt wall and 12 volt receptacle to achieve 560-70 watts of input which makes for vary speedy charging indeed! The only very minor irritation is the induction chargers on the top of the unit demand absolutely perfect device positioning to work. Thank you for the spec recommendations you made to Bluetti. They were absolutely spot on and highly appreciated. I wish you all the best and many happy reviews in the new year!

This is golden. I hope they come out with higher capacity units using the guts of this. I have the 2400 and love it. I REALLY hope they come out with a design with expandable battery packs similar to the Titan. I also like the new squarish form factor over the previous models. The previous models are pretty top-heavy due to the narrow base when traveling and need to be secured.

But as far as the features: the charging input capability, the DC output power, the regulated output, more than double the AC outlets, a 2000W inverter, etc, it looks amazing. Excited to see how these things hold up in the wild with people using them daily.

Thank you for sharing. Something to consider: @9:30 for professional drivers, they can drive up to eleven hours a day. I know it is not seventeen like you stated, however, it would charge the unit up more than 50% or possibly top it off on daily use. For example: A truck driver will use their CPAP while sleeping and the 11 hours of driving would charge it up and have then all set for their next night's sleep. Since this is a pure sign wave, it is a very good example of what would work for a truck driver. In that industry, this is a game-changer.

Tim, try using a DC to DC up-converter, to increase your truck 12 V from alternator to perhaps 60 or 80 volts, getting into the range for solar charging, so can charge up to 700 watts in this unit. Or, use a 12 V to 120 V AC inverter, then use the AC adaptor, but that is much less efficient, but good for charging at 400 W, I think.

Joshua' Madread Yeah, it all depends on peak and constant loads. Expandability (and therefor usability) are part of the equation for me too. It may also depend on the US relationship with China when it comes to shipment dates. Not trying to be a nay sayer; but it should come into the thought process for anyone that is buying from China... there may come a day soon where all Chinese goods purchases are no longer viable.

I'm late to this game but just picked up this model. I know there are more feature-packed models from Bluetti and many other brands that came out over the last 3 years, but this was at a price I couldn't refuse. It handles everything I need it for, so I cant't complain. I'm in Japan, so I especially like the ability to switch from 120V 60Hz to 100V 50Hz as I have a mixture of US and JDM items.

Great review Will! Thank you! However, Im kinda shocked that you didn't address the surge wattage length. We've seen some ads that show that it can handle up to 3500W, but I was expecting the Will stress test. Ha! Nevertheless, this is looking really good and it's making me change course from the upcoming inergy flex.

@Madsope

This depends of course on your definition of a normal fridge. If you have a double door fridge with freezer compartment and ice maker in Death Valley it will be tricky. When looking just at the battery capacity (assuming no solar panels), I think you can power a fridge for a day. It's best to lookup the (peak) consumption of your fridge on the label.

@josilver
@josilver 3 жыл бұрын
Same question! I'm having trouble learning if most foldable solar panels allow you to connect in series. My understanding is that most portable panels are 12v and the AC200 solar input is 35-150v, so if you're using 12v panels, you'd have to have a minimum of three panels in series to get above 35v which is more than I planned on. I haven't really found many portable folding panels outputting more than 12v or that clearly state you an connect in series. If anyone can clear this up for or can recommend some folding panels for the AC200, I'd really appreciate it!

@@josilver you need to look at the open-circuit voltage of the panel and not just the base voltage. Although, most 160 watt panels only have an open circuit of 22 to 25 volts. So you would need two of these wired in to charge the stupid thing. Seems ridiculous when you can actually charge it via your car's 12 volt cigarette lighter

Could I use this product like this: 1) Plug in the AC charging cord 2) Plug in solar 3) Plug in a computer. Then the theory being that the system would charge/use solar when available, if no solar available it would use AC as required to keep the batteries charged. In the event that the AC power fails (at night) then the battery would be used to power the computer until the battery dies. Could the system be used like this? Would solar reduce my AC usage?

I'm in the same situation as you. I got the Bluetti 2400Wh last week. I got it for $1,533.99 (that price includes the four year extended warranty) because of two coupon codes that gave me $366.00 off full price. If this unit ends up costing the same as the 2400 watt hour version, it will be a no brainier for anyone else moving forward. I wonder why the battery capacity is slightly lower? My best guess at the moment is they needed to offset the cost of the other upgrades to the design to keep the cost similar.
