The BEST Power Station Under $300 - & It SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!

BLUETTI EB3A portable solar generator battery review. The EB3A is a Power Lifting Champion that can run devices most other power stations this size can't. The Bluetti EB3A is a portable power station a 600w AC inverter and 268Wh LiFePO4 internal battery. The EB3A has 9 outputs, and can charge at a rate of up to 430W watts with the AC adapter in power turbo charging mode. Between the AC inverter and charging capability the Bluetti EB3A is a strong power station among the 268Wh range. These power stations are excellent for camping and off grid adventure with small devices.

I have a little 1.5 Cu. Ft. dc refrigerator with TINY freezer box inside & hoped I could keep it running most of the time in a SHTF situation. Which Bluetti and fridge do you have? How successful has it held up.

[@klynch7329]

Just finished driving from Florida to Nevada (via Mexico) with 12v fridge (and sometimes food warmer) plugged into EB3A which in turn was plugged into the car's 12v. Maintained fridge perfectly and stayed mostly at 100% until we stopped for the night. Never fell below 50%. Strong point of this unit is higher wattage inverter and flexible charging. We use our Ecoflow Delta 2 for higher wattage and watt hour demands.

[@skye1212]

I just bought one. They are great. Got a 3rd party 200W solar panel for it as they are more a commodity and the Bluetti one is a little rich price wise. They are supposed to be releasing a new cable that will allow you to link this (and other Bluetti units) w the 806W expandable battery B80. That would turn this into a 1000W+ unit.

For us who have no idea what the different plugs are for, Id love to see a video that shows the power station actually hooked up to devices. IE: a small lamp, a computer, a heating pad, electric skillet, etc? What appliances can this actually this be used for? I already have a small portable generator but have only tried it on one lamp with a led bulb. Of course my husband took it so he could read LOL. Do I need a different generator for each room/ person? Can you show if multiple devices can be operated at one time? Demonstration please. 🔌🔌🔌📻📺☕🔌🔌🔌

On every device there is information on how many watts it uses. This device has roughly 200-250 watts of useable power. Example if your heating blanket uses 50 watts. It will run for up to 4-5hrs.

I looked at this while on sale but it never made any sense to me. at only 268 watt hours having a 600 watt inverter is pretty pointless as you'll only get 25 minutes of run time at full power. its in the weird space of being too big or heavy to carry around for light stuff like hiking/foot travel and way too small for things like powering a single fridge, tv, pc, well pump, or electric starter for gas furnace or water heater for any reasonable length of time. Either go with a portable battery pack to charge your phone/camera or tablet, or go with a 1280Wh lifepo4 battery and a separate inverter to power a few key appliances during a blackout.

[@elyeno]

One problem. The EB3A needs at minimum about 10 watts solar input to start charging. In bad weather conditions, early in the morning oder in the late afternoon you get no charge. A Jackery 240/500/1000 or a Eco Flow Delta 2 takes every incomming watt to charge.

[@logangreen6977]

I've noticed the same thing on mine. I have 2 EB3A's, and a couple other Bluetti units. Neither of my other bluetti units have that issue though. I get the feeling it's just due to cost cuts. It's a cheaper mppt controller than what they use on their bigger units.

[@randybobandy9828]

I don't see the point of these small 260wh packs... I have a diy usbc charge pack that has 240wh.. I can't imagine using that as a solar generator 😂 I built my own solar generator for about $1000 and it has a 4800wh battery and a 2000w pure sine wave inverter. It's also water proof that is built in a milwaukee packout case. I built a additional 4500wh battery for it for about $550 more. So for about $1500 I have a 9300wh solar generator that can last for days without conserving battery power

[@chrisneville7310]

This looks great and you could always hook up another battery using the MPPT ports or car charger to have more capacity

[@groovyone5492]

I wouldn't connect a second battery using the MPPT port, its designed for a max. 200W solar panel and a 12v 100Ah battery has 1200W across its terminals.

[@chrisneville7310]

@@groovyone5492 it will take 12v to 28v on the MPPT I use this option on a Togo portable power bank I have running off of a 3kw lifepo battery. It pulls 75 watts as that is it's maximum solar charging capacity and it's also fused. Never had an issue with it blowing the fuse but it will pull the amount of current needed. Your conclusion is saying you can't run anything under 100 amps on a 100 amp battery

[@ziggy29]

One thing I would add about "turbocharging" mode is that it is a great feature when you really need a battery to charge up quickly, and used only occasionally, it won't hurt the battery life appreciably. However, faster charging does degrade the battery more over time, so for maximizing battery life people should charge as slowly as their circumstances allow. If one is going to let it charge overnight or for quite a few hours before you need it, charging it in the slowest mode (silent) is best as it will still charge in about 3 hours at that rate. If you need to charge from zero in an hour once in a while, sure, use the fast charging mode.

[@mspat8195]

I used the fast changing outlet, on the plug-in wall charger, for my portable power banks & 2 (different brands & ages) no longer charge! So, it seems to me, fast/turbo charging greatly affects the life of portables & using it for a phone, tablet, laptop, etc., is a gamble with terrible consequences.

[@hightecrebel]

@@mspat8195 most likely they heated up just enough to let either the positive or negative wire to come off the batteries. This happens when they didn't quite seat the wire properly when soldering so it barely connected. I've repaired a couple dozen power banks from all kinds of different brands that had this issue.

[@OffGridAdventure]

All excellent points in this discussion. Turbo charging does lower battery life. The app states this when you turn it on.

[@BLUExEYEDxSLICKT]

@@OffGridAdventure So how many watts does it charge it at without turbo charging?

[@randybobandy9828]

@mspat8195 no.. it wasn't the fast charging that ruined your device. Something else went wrong with it. The cells are rated for over 3000 charge cycles and that's just until the max capacity is reduced to 80%.. they can go for thousands of charges more than that. Your bms or outlet on the device must have failed or melted but it isn't the cells themselves.

Still a novelty to me. I haven't really found a use for mine. It would be great to use as a ups for my router and modem if it didn't switch from battery to AC power all the time and disconnect the router and get really warm. The best use for this would be something like a router running off of solar. You can maintain a constant 10 to 20 watt output and maintain that overnight and then catch enough of a charge off a 100 or 200 watt panel as soon as it got light to keep it going indefinitely. I'm going to try it while Moto camping but the 10 lb is kind of a deterrent.

[@bkanegson]

Best single use I've found for mine so far is to run a 12v fridge in the car, for long road trips or for grocery shopping. Fridge runs off the car's 12v (through the unit) while the car is running, but then the unit picks up and powers the fridge with battery for the hours when the car is off. Runs the fridge non stop (plus small fan) all night/ during rests. Recharges quickly again when I run the car. Keeps 30 qt. fridge uninterrupted cold for days on end, full duration of road trip. (Option to switch to solar when the driving stops for a while.). Compact, no fuss, perfect for this.

@@PWoods-cd6tk Runs intermittently as per thermostat, like any fridge, about 55-60 watts DC, in fridge's selectable "eco mode", when it pulls. (More, 80-90 watts when using AC).

Would it take too long for the small battery capacity? I’m still annoyed that having a 20$ Dash Mini would end up costing me $100 after shipping/fees, so I was beginning to consider power lifting mode and the 650w 10l oven seemed like my best alternative to the Dash Mini (5L)

What kind of solar panel do you use to power up the Bluetti EB3A ? Everything sounds nice just for camping. But I am looking for the best power station to run my refrigerator, when the power goes out.

[@wildhog3217]

My eb3a is set at standard charging mode w/eco set @ 4hrs. It would charge at 200+watts and then only charge @ 125 or so watts at 50% charge. It seems that I can’t switch charge modes to silent or turbo at this point. I most use it to run my 32 or 42 quart 12v car fridge that uses between 35 to 60 watts when compressor kicks on. Using the 12v outlet it would run fridge set at 34 degrees in eco mode for 15hrs and via ac outlet it would barely run for 10hrs. In ac mode the wattage being used was 70+ watts. Is the Bluetti converter using some of that wattage? The thing I’m concerned most about was that I couldn’t change charging mode and how charging wattage in standard mode would go from 200+watts and down to 125 watts at 50% charge. I was also using the Bluetti app also to monitor device.

[@ChefDuane]

I have a Jackery 240 and love it. I have been thinking about getting another Jackery but decided on the Bluetti EB3a instead.

Hi, it runs my 3qt Instant Pot for around 30 minutes from a full charge. So, the battery is a little small for cooking, but for me it’s perfect to boil water with my electric kettle.

[@baneverything5580]

You can use a 12 volt mini rice cooker if the cig port is at least rated at 10 amps. Plus, many regular rice cookers they sell are only 300 watts. My 12 volt mini rice cooker uses only 100 watts and cooks rice in 30-35 minutes. I`m sure I could let it run for 25 minutes then unplug it to save battery. But it even works with my tiny Golabs r300 and only uses 22% of the battery to cook one dry cup of rice so it`s much more efficient than an AC rice cooker. If you look on the "A" store it`s the green and white one with a cat or panda cartoon face on the side. It`s a must have if your power station`s 12 volt cig port is 10 amps.

You'll need to check what the power draw of your leaf blower and snow blower are. As long as they're lower than the rated output of the battery you should be able to power it. That being said, the overall size of the battery will determine how long you can power it.

[@kenguie]

@@mikemazzantini6397 i’m a little disappointed. Actually, I had to order another one and return the original bluetti because the first unit didn’t seem to work with solar panels. I’ve seen a few videos on this and could not get any help from Bluetti. I ended up returning the first one and the second one is on the way it’s been on sale for $200 so the price is irresistible.

It would have been great if that USB-C was Input and Output like the Energizer 300w power bank does. I recently got the Energizer for $169. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnvirginia7238]

I thought USB PD was a standard that makes it have to be both input or output

Now even how cool this video is, never say anything good should be illegal!

How long do you think you'd get for a small space heater? (Got little ones that want to to winter camping)

[@vancepeck7888]

I'm no expert but I would try an electric blanket. Most have timers and multiple settings. Sandwich blankets with a couple thick comforters and it'll keep the whole crew warm.

That looks awesome, but I wish the battery was a bigger capacity for emergencies, that would only run my 40w fan for 6 hours, not even a full night. Still good for camping and such though probably.

[@marvinmurakami8828]

Bluetti also makes a larger 700 and 800 watt model, not to mention models that are expandable into 5,000+ watts.

[@zereimu]

​@@marvinmurakami8828 Thats actually amazing, I like the upgradeability. Just checked prices though, the solar panels are almost tripple the cost, but then again, portable solar panels usually are. Update: I modified my post after further research! I just realized the batteries are LiFePO4, the cost of the batteries are actually not bad at all. Solar panels are overpriced, but they are similar to the costs of other portable solar panels.

[@00justincredible00]

i know nothing about watts and how long things can or should run so ill ask .. can this run a small sump pump in a house if the power goes out? if so how long (rough guess) ? thx

[@LocoChavez247]

How is this for CPAP machines? I know if you don't use the humidifier it saves a lot of power, wondering if this unit is worth a try?

[@sonnydavidson7983]

How many times can it charge a i phone 14 pro max it looks great 😊

I recently brought powerology power generator 300w and when im charging there is small noise similar to this is that bad or normal? Thank you

[@cvcoco]

Based on this review, Id say a person should keep looking. Why pay for features a person cant or shouldnt use because doing so may harm the device or what you are powering? This means the average buyer would be paying for unused features as some people noted in the comments. Also, does this require the use of a smartphone or are all features accessible in the device itself? Also, can firmware be updated without a smartphone?

[@daxjudo3920]

What do you recommend?

[@cvcoco]

@@daxjudo3920 I can answer that better when I get my questions answered.

[@daxjudo3920]

@@cvcoco you asked some valid questions and we are all trying to find the best for our buck. I would say, you should only pay for what you need it for, I have seen some power boxes for 30 bucks! I would think the main functions are available on the device itself but more options with the Bluetooth app or remote like most other regular devices here in America. I think the main drawback on this device is the popular consensus that it needs to draw at least 10 amps of solar to charge, whereas others, like jackery boxes, charge when solar is detected.

[@jayb.8460]

Can you charge it with a portable phone charging block ?

[@helmuthschultes9243]

You may get it cheap in USA. Here in Australia the price is a painful AU$629 (was Black Friday $499, but not orderable, while combined with solar panel still orderable). That price is far above US value at exchange rate of US0.67/AU$ even allowing for our 10%GST

"POWER LIFTING MODE" Is there version of what EcoFlow already has on their batteries. EcoFlow also has super fast charging. Bluetti is following EcoFlow with a number of features.

[@patriciadavis7444]

THANKS FOR YOUR INFORMATION,I ALSO HEARD THAT ECOFLOW HAS MUCH BETTER CHARGING TIME

Li po batteries(bluetti) life cycle I heard lasts way long than lithium (eco flow)...

[@Erin-Thor]

I’m confused about charging, it comes with a 110v plug, but you can’t use it without a brick. It comes with a solar panel cable too, but no solar panel. I get that I would need to buy a power brick and or solar panel… but can I just plug it into my cars 12v or 110v plug (low amps) and charge it while driving? I’ve become use to just charging my (small) 25000 mah battery charger, laptop, phone, tablet, and my fridge while driving to my next location.

Just letting you know that I did buy one of these based on your review as well as another channel. I looked at one of Bluetti's instructional videos, and they pronounce it "Blue-tee," 2 syllables, rhymes with "bootie." FYI.
