Bluetti AC60 + B80 Portable Expandable Power Station and Solar Generator Overview

[@RJM60]

Thought your site had " dropped off the radar" as sites often have...just now catching this episode on Jan 2nd. I myself am looking at both a larger self contained solar/rechargable pwr supply (in addition to my house back up generator)...and a smaller unit for use at my cabin ( under construction). Nice timely/informative video. Thanks!

The problem with power stations is they all have a lithium battery which dies in cold weather. I've had several lithium batteries which power garden tools die when winter arrived at temperatures of 28 fareneit (-2 celsius). If kept in an insulated box, I wonder if that would prevent this issue?

Very informative!

Not to be rude by why is the intro so long?

(Also you said Bluetti started the expansion battery thing but Ecoflow did that first.)

So can it run an 83W, 50Hz, 240 volt, 1.0 Amp, 0.485kW h/24hr kitchen freezer? Even for at least 4hrs but then longer with the B80 expansion batteries?

Obviously a larger capacity system would be better purely for home use, but I’m looking at this AC60 (plus 200W solar panel) as a tent camping system, but also a minimal emergency power home backup with the B80’s to keep essentials running until power comes back on like a freezer to keep food safe and then briefly a low wattage kettle (300W) or a small microwave plus phones and AA or AAA battery charger etc

Hello: this unit puts out 120 volt AC. I'm guessing if you have a 240 volt AC unit you are in Europe? I'm not sure if Bluetti makes a 240 volt AC unit. The big thing to consider is starting wattage. When the freezer kicks on it needs a surge of power then the wattage kicks down to running wattage which you listed above. The Bluetti AC 60 supports 1200 watts of surge power but at 120V AC.
