Bluetti (EB55) Power Station FULL REVIEW- Solar Generator, LifePo4, Off-Grid

[@siddadood]

Exactly what I was wondering. Before you did the battery bank setup I was curious how these would do with the 12v fridge. How did the old fridge do?

You really have the best channel on KZbin. Im late subscribing but your Vids got me prius searching & waiting to live free-er. The detailed reviews, tips & diys are easy 2 follow & appreciated ( especially your prius maintenance ones) I feel more confident in mechanics now & in my ability to comfortably car dwell. Much appreciated 👍👍

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Thank you so much, means a lot. I'm getting back on KZbin and making more videos soon so make sure you subscribe, take care

I have a ToGo 350 I recently purchased, but I don't have a portable fridge. I hear so many good things about the Bluetti. I'd definitely invest in the 2000 watt one if I lived where winter happens. 😁

[@marysiniawa5371]

Thanks for all you info. I just purchased this generator for my van. Moving into it as of October 28. So very excited about this.

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@mpoisot]

Can you have the bluetti plugged into the car's cig lighter port and plugged into the fridge at the same time? Will it just pass through power or will the bluetti hog all the power when it's own battery is low? I would like a setup where the I never mess with the power bank or fridge, and as long as I turn the car on every X hours (depending on power bank size and ambient temperature) then everything just works. Have you ever run across a compressor based fridge that can run off USB C?

[@gingermcintosh6545]

Your microwave is 700 watts. Why couldn’t you plug that into the Bluetti. Thanks for this video by the way. Nice to see Bluetti getting the love it deserves!

[@DutchK75]

Usually with inverters you don't want to run anything continuous over half of the rated wattage. So a 700w inverter = 350w. I killed a 2500w inverter with a 1500w air fryer. 🤷‍♂️ Didn't pop a fuse either. It just died. Replaced it with a 4k. No problems.

[@gingermcintosh6545]

@@DutchK75 thanks! Helpful info.

[@DutchK75]

@@gingermcintosh6545 I'm going to clarify this. The half power rule applies running continuous. If you have a descent quality 1,000w inverter, a 700w microwave you should be able to run on it for the few minutes you need it to. I doubt anyone would be trying to cook a turkey in a 700w microwave. At least I hope not. Bluetti does make nice products. But for me being a truck driver the 12v sections on them are not the best and there's not enough. I had a EB70 that I gave to my girlfriend'ish type lady friend. And replaced it with a OUPES 1,000 watt and 600w. I had 2 coupon codes for both. They have 3 12v 10amp conections each. And can be USB charged. And they are Lifepo4. Another company VTOMAN is bringing out a 1,500wh Lifepo4 power station I'm interested in. Has a jumpstarter and you can get external battery packs for it. And it has 3 12v 10amp conections. USB charging. If that comes to fruition. I'm going to give my sister and brother in law the 600w OUPES for their camping. She wants a dual zone fridge. And I'll buy her the new Setpower 60 dual zone. They eat a lot 😂

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

I wouldnt want to use something more than half of the rated wattage of my bluetti. Just to be safe

[@mhayes6864]

I have it on my wish list! Thank you for the review!

[@gunmetalblue6965]

Amazon has a $100 coupon as of right now and its under $500 (i paid around $400 after the $100 coupon)

[@bobosity]

Is there some way to click the buttons so the LED light stays on?

Another great video Mountain Springs Adventures!!! Awesome review!!!!!!!!

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Thank you very much

[@larryware1]

Great review, Mountain Springs. I hope to eventually get a Bluetti to review on my wife's channel. They are excellent products. You did a nice, thorough job of explaining its features and specs.

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Thank you very much 😊

All LiFePO4 batteries are lithium ion batteries but not all lithium ion batteries are LiFePO4’s. The difference is the chemistry used by each battery to move lithium ions around. The LiFePO4 battery uses lithium, iron and phosphate. The more commonly known lithium batteries that are in cell phones, flashlights, etc. use combinations of lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, etc. to move lithium ions around. LiFePO4 batteries are not as energy dense as lithium ion batteries using magnesium, cobalt, etc. so they tend to be larger and heavier. But they are capable of thousands of discharge cycles instead of hundreds of discharge cycles. I know, it’s a minor point but I thought some clarification was in order.

[@BuzzMediaUS]

Do you have a link and/or video for the power inverter you use?

[@mapleleaf902]

TY, looking for emergency back up that is non-gas required. Keep the good reviews coming!

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Yeah power stations are great for emergency situations

[@skepticalmechanic]

Thanks… your videos are very informative and interesting… Really enjoy them… Peace and safe travels… enjoy your life while your still young and in good health!

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Thank you :)

[@timothydriver6751]

The diplay of the EB55 could have been better if it indicated how much time is left.

[@bebelives]

Have you tried using your pressure cooker with the Bluetti?

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

No I havent, i dont want to put too much strain on the power station

[@janefaulders4167]

Can you run an instant on this?

I don't know, maybe. I'll have to check

Hey bruh, what is that knock off brand cell phone booster you have? Been looking for one and I figured you know what works for Prius hotel. Thanks

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

I put the link for that booster in my video giving a tour of my Prius camper. "Alfa" boosters are great off-brand boosters BUT there are lots of counterfeit Alfa boosters on amazon and ebay so be careful

What gaming laptop do you have that will run DaVinci Resolve? Thank you.

Great review my friends you made my decision I was getting ready to buy this but I wasn't sure but I definitely am going to thank you

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@LetArtsLive]

How do you like it? I will be getting one on Monday with the 200 watt bluetti solar panel it was about $970. I am going to use it for my ecotric hammer e-bike which I love that ecotric bike. I only have one leg and I have gone 36 miles without any charging cuz I have three batteries. When I got almost home I still had three quarters of one of the three batteries left. If it were not for Tesla we would not have these batteries and I could not afford a ebike

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

I love the Bluetti. Still running strong, been using it daily for about 4-5 months straight. E-bikes are so fun. I'm sure you will like the Bluetti also

[@carolbenson1353]

Have you tried to plug your eb55 into your Prius 12v plug? Mine won’t fit in my 2021 Highlander Hybrid 12v plug. Any suggestions?

[@christiangenest576]

Thanks for that video , very good , a question …. I don’t want to buy a solar panel from bluetti company just a regular one , I sent the, an email they just answer me back this morning saying that Thank you for reaching out to us. The Input parameters of EB55 products are 12V~28V, 8A (200W Max), please make sure that your solar panel is compatible with our EB55 products. How I could see if a regular solar panel is compatible or not , I’m not a knowledge one about solar stuff thanks

[@1951Roy]

Great review, will wait for the next sale.

[@christiangenest576]

Thanks for the video , really cool review , about your frig what brand is it,

[@bebelives]

Thanks so much for the video...I was really curious how it was going to do with your fridge. I have been using a small Yeti I like your setup SO much better and it would be nice not to have to worry about ice.

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Your welcome, yea those yeti coolers work if you want to change the ice regularly. Its nice to just plug it in and not worry about it

[@MonkeyNutz47]

Nice vid. What do you have wrapped around your power brick? Is it like a large twist tie or something? If so do you have a link to it? Thanks!

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

[@hike2bhuman110]

Great review I’ve been hearing great things about this power generator do you use or for boiling water or with electric cooking appliances?

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

No I dont but as long as its under 700 watts than you can use it

[@dlfleischerlmt]

I have a set power 21 qt could u tell me why it runs 4 times a hr it's full and I keep it on 35

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

I have no idea. I haven't actually timed it to see how many times it kicks on per hour, I was just guessing

[@kevinhunt1596]

Good review. Thank you.

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Welcome

[@truesight91]

Great review

[@frankgibert2165]

It's Lithium Iron (Fe); it's slightly heavier than the other Lithium battery. I do consider it to be the better battery

[@LetArtsLive]

You should have a 200 watt solar panel

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Yeah a solar panel would be pretty awesome but I don't need it right now

[@brianjordan5629]

The only thing that made the EB55 bad for me is the long ac charging time compared to the River Max.

[@tasbirrashid1262]

Li-ion batteries are more dense, but they cost more. That's why many household products are shifting to lifepho4 battery. Smartphones,laptop and other portable products have to use li-ion because li-ion batteries are like 3-5 times more dense than lifepho4

[@mapleleaf902]

Hmmm your suggestion?

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Did you read the article I put in the description? The life expectancy of lithium ion batteries is not greater than lithium iron phosphate Lithium-ion gets an average of 500 to 1,000 cycles, whereas lithium-iron-phosphate gets an average of 1,000-10,000 cycles

[@AndrewSheldon]

LiFePO4 batteries are not new. They are safer, longer lasting, less energy density but correspondingly light and cheaper. It's a good option for cars, particularly if not moving little like you. But moving enough to recharge battery from car.
