i love how you don't "talk down" yet make your videos so very accessible to the novice. thankyou! THANK YOU!

[@smartnfinal]

thank you another nice video . made it easy for the set up. the one you showed is 768 watt and at this time is selling for $379 ..prices are coming down ..i got a couple of the bigger one with refrigerator. another nice video

Fantastically useful and helpful video, thank you! I think you have shown me the power bank option (size/charging, I always wanted a Bluetti) that I need.

Hi, Thank you for the video. It helped me to see (finally!) how relatively easy it is to install the charger. However, there are greater concerns I have about using one of these devices, specific to any negative effect they have on a car’s charging system. Can you (or someone) explain the implications / potential negative consequences of using DC to DC chargers? I should mention I am not a mechanic. I don't have knowledge of electrical systems. Questions/concerns I have include: 1) What amp rating should my alternator have to use a DC to DC charger? (My car’s alternator has a 90-amp rating, which seems awfully low to power one of these chargers. I understand the car should be and will be running while using the batter charger, but still … ? 2) How viable is it to use an alternator with a higher amp rating? Isn't that constrained by the car's ECU? 3) Can using these DC to DC chargers damage the cars charging system and/or ECU? 4) Should I be monitoring the car's battery to make sure that it’s putting out ample voltage to the alternator? If so, how is that done? Battery tester? Ammeter? 5) Similar question about the alternator itself? 6) What charge setting are you using for the AC70 in the Bluetti app? Seems like for sure I should not under any circumstances be using the turbo charge setting ?? Would using the silent mode charge setting in the Bluetti app eliminate concerns? 7) What is the amp rating of your Mini Cooper’s alternator? I know that’s a lot of questions. I have been researching this topic on my own, but have only come up with questions and frustration thus far. Anything you (or anyone) can offer to help is greatly appreciated!

wow, that is a lot of questions. haha. These answers are "MY OPINION" 1. 90 is a little low, but if your cars runs for a significant amount of time, your normal battery is already topped off anyway. But alternator keeps spinning if you are not using the full current. 2. I don't think it is a problem for any healthy alternator. They recharge and run you car's 12v power needs. Belt spins the alternator and current is generated. No ECU 3. Anything is possible, but not probable. 4.Alternator sends current to the battery, not other way around. 5.This power unit had a dc charge meter. Just like with no dc charger hooked up, you have to run your car for a decent amount of time. Cranking without running the car will definitely drain your battery. 6.Didn't even look into that 7.120A? Again, these are my unprofessional opinions....

@@Tiny-Campers Thanks for the feedback. It's the “anything is possible” factor that has me concerned, LOL! The absolute last thing I want is for that “anything” to happen because I didn't do my research, and as a consequence end up stranded on a country road with a dead battery or alternator (been there, done that) - or worse a blown electrical system. To be clear, I realize the alternator charges the battery, but they are components that work in tandem. My concern was (is) information I read about the possibility, in general, for an alternator to overcharge the battery, and how/if a DC to DC charger could contribute to that. Surely, these are a set of questions for a mechanic. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can beforehand, so I know the questions to ask him, and can understand the answers given. It's always a good thing to benefit from the knowledge and experience of others. Thanks again for your help!

Raman brand ?

[@Tiny-Campers]

don't even recall. just had it laying around. haha

[@webtechaz]

I think the Bluetti charger is too expensive. Im looking at the Pecron DC1242-500 Smart Car Charger for around $150!

[@Hustling4Crypto]

Ya get what you pay for..My original BluEtti is 5 years old and still works Amazing...Own 7 now...

[@webtechaz]

@ I don’t understand, they had a Bluetti charger from the alternator five years ago? I thought this just came out?

[@kimnkal]

Bluetti power banks last many, many more cycles than the usual less expensive options because the battery technology is different. It is also way less flammable/volatile than the lithium ion batteries that the others use. Well worth the money on both counts to my mind.
