How to Size a Power Station featuring the Bluetti AC50B

[@billz4795]

Can you daisy chain.. When using as UPS and power comes back does it pass through AND recharge?

Thank you!

Whwre can i buy extra fuses.are they special Bluetti fuses? Can you do a demo on how to use the ground point please

[@BeatTheBush]

You are asking some very fundamental questions which I might have skipped over. I will have to make a video geared towards that direction to answer these. The fuses can be purchased anywhere like Amazon even. You would ground the device to a ground attachment point in your building, for example the ground on an outlet but you'll meet some screw point to do so.

Good video

Are they a reputable brand? Power stations with lithium ion batteries can become fire hazards if their batteries aren’t good cells/aren’t managed properly. Lifepo4 tends to be safer than lithium ion.

I have one other Bluetti product and it has worked reliably for about a year. The internal PCB build quality is excellent. I would rate this as a more premium brand.

[@Aperturex1337]

Bluetti and EcoFlow are the only two you should trust at this time in my opinion.

[@Aperturex1337]

@@martinlutherkingjr.5582 Energizer has not come out with anything worth mentioning. Anker is great and they have been making battery products for years but their battery generators are new to the space. I

If folks are researching which top "name brand" power station to purchase, whatever you do...stay FAR from any Jackery! It's an inferior product with only a 3 year warranty and as soon as that 3 yrs is up, it'll fail and their support will only give you a "trade-in discount voucher" and most of their stuff is all proprietary too...lousy product, lousy service and not user-friendly when trying to use 3rd party stuff. Bluetti seems the way to go!

[@BeatTheBush]

I'd say most warranties are specified in a way to expire right before the product fails. If they happen to build the product very well, they may change it to a longer warranty.

You just cant leave EE alone. Its in your blood. Why not go back to EE W-2 job, BTB ?

[@BeatTheBush]

Because I do not enjoy having a boss.

[@oleopathic]

@@BeatTheBush few people do, right? But even fewer find a way to be their own boss. You did it.

EcoFlow >>> Bluetti

[@BeatTheBush]

That’s arguable. The construction of this product is pretty rock solid. I would like to have Wifi in it though.

[@social3ngin33rin]

Why is the AC outlet less efficient, smart retired engineering Asian bro?

[@BeatTheBush]

The base battery energy is DC from the battery. AC waveforms are sine waves as compared to DC which is constant. Because of this huge change, more energy is needed to change it.

[@social3ngin33rin]

@@BeatTheBush oh yeah, the battery is originally DC >_>
