BLUETTI AC70 Review + Comparison VS EB70S

[@StefanMalloch]

What are your thoughts on this upgrade?

[@nikkifennell]

Never run out of battery again!

[@stephenodell1417]

I have had the AC70 4 months. I use it to run my refrigerator cooler, run my Ridgid fan and to charge my Ridgid batteries. And I have AC2A stacked on top for phone and earbuds charging. Off grid tent camping. Charge with solar panels use 2 Renogy 220w lightweight in series. And use 1 Renogy for AC2A.

Its fantastic!

[@nikkifennell]

Love this thing!

[@JakeSloan]

Nice, I was sceptical when I got the original EB70. I have used it daily for the last few years and it's been incredible and still going strong

[@StefanMalloch]

Great tool! Its saved me many times and comes with me most places.

I have an EB70S and use it daily for work running my laptop off of the USB C port. Prior to that I used Jackeries off their AC ports and the laptop power brick. The Jackeries would convert the stored DC power to AC so that my laptop power adapter can then convert it back to DC. The Bluetti EB70-S USB C port by comparison runs the laptop off the DC directly without conversion and is MASSIVELY more efficient.

Where did you see pass-through solar charging? Can you show this? im aware off passthrough UPS not solar

[@georgecostanza2695]

Should have tried out “Power Lift” mode when the space heater cut out at 1500…

[@StefanMalloch]

I don't think it would be good to use it that far over for any extended period of time.

[@MyAcer20]

with wirrless charging it uses about 50% more electricity than using a cable to charge your phone so its not good if you want it to last long

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Nice one

Any tests on the efficiency delta between the two? I have an EB70S and an EB3A and despite being a bigger unit the EB70S charge controller WILL charge on a cloudy day when my panel is producing under 10W like Jackery units do. The EB3A will only charge if my solar panel is producing 10W or more. I am frankly happy to see the wireless charger go, it required a lot more of the Bluetti's stored capacity to charge a phone than just using the USB port. So it was a feature I paid for and never used. I much prefer the extra 50Wh of battery capacity in the AC70. I use these devices as daily drivers and the key factors for me when choosing between models and manufacturers is the ability of every device to harvest and store every single watt of power my panels produce as well as the ability to discharge every stored watt of power as efficiently as possible. The AC70 is an interesting product but no data yet from reviewers on efficiency comparisons with the EB70s or models from Anker and Jackery.
