You deserve some credit for your reviews, my issue is with the battery powered inverter units, all of them not just the small ones like this are very limited and you have to be able to charge them, for extended power failures this requires another considerable expense and you still are left with not a lot of power

@MotoCheez 2 года назад

That's true, it's good for short term emergencies depending on battery size. For camping it's great. Solar panels are a plus if you have enough sunlight. A gas powered generator can be (recharged) much faster 😁

Yes., and great for a second unit to a bigger one that’s less cumbersome to move around etc...

@supremeautomotive6749 Год назад

Well you can take regular batteries like golf cart batteries and get a small 800watt inverter and plug the charging cord for the bluetti in and you get a alot of amp hours with this unit. If its at 100% it will use whatever batteries you use power first then then the bluetti battery

@MotoCheez 7 месяцев назад

I do use pass-through charging I have it to back up my internet and Wi-Fi, but the wattage is well below what the charging capabilities are. You'd have to subtract the wattage to come up with a total wattage used and that would be what the drain is on the battery so for your example 60 watts draw should last about 6 hours

Great review thank you. I noticed at 21:18 your cable was over the solar panel casting a shadow. Not sure about your panel but with mine that would cause a major hit in the watts being produced. Any tiny shadow on my panels will severely reduce the current going into a battery.

@johntate5284 2 года назад

That noise you are seeing on the AC output when in UPS mode is likely from the charging circuit for the battery. It is similar to what you can see from a switching type of PC power supply. Most UPS have filtering for this. I wonder if plugging the AC cord into a good Trip Lite surge protector (which has very good 2 and 3 stage filtering) would clean this up. Very thorough review!

@chronobot2001 2 года назад

You were not giving it an accurate load test. Load tests should be done with purely resistive loads... Like a resistive heater. Using a fan is an inductive load which is measured in volt-amps rater than watts. If the bluetti was showing 450 watts, it was probably supplying more like 600 watts in reality because it had to power an inductive load. I expect if you redid the test with a 450 watt resistive load, it would run longer before shutting off. Regardless, it was an interesting test and did show that the bluetti functioned pretty well.

@MotoCheez 2 года назад

Interesting, some of these units I've tested have a resistive load setting to raise the wattage for electric heaters.

@chronobot2001 2 года назад

@@MotoCheez My understanding is... They don't actually raise the power output going to resistive loads but rather, they lower the output voltage so they can increase the current going to the resistive load... And since power (watts) = volts * current, the max power output is the same.

@MotoCheez 2 года назад

Yes, that's how I read it in description. I use fans because of real life situations, will do a refrigerator next unit I test. Don't forget the start on a motor has a lot of peak amperage which is a good test for the units.

@chronobot2001 2 года назад

@@MotoCheez I have a small freezer that uses 60 watts while running but when I check the volt amps it says 120 volt amps. The appearant power is huge. I an going to put a ceiling fan capacitor in the circuit and see if it helps. I expect my inverter is having to supply the whole 120 watts when it would only need to supply 60 if I could counteract the inductive reactance. This would make all the difference in the world because 120 watts would just about take my battery down to zero overnight. I'm also thinking about pitting the freezer on a timer so it would only run a couple of hours in the middle of the night to see if it saves the battery and still keeps everything nicely frozen.

@MotoCheez 2 года назад

A few years back I had a peltier junction type refrigerator for the car and I bought the circuit that senses low voltage so it shut off when it hit 11.5 volts and it wouldn't kill my battery. I cut it into the top of the refrigerator so it was a permanent amount and it actually worked pretty decent. , not sure if capacitor would help because you know how inductive style resistance is.

What about a TV for 6hrs? Hmmm? Then you must recharge it. Waste of money. Look at it this way. Nobody's talking about this low Watt available over the long haul for the nite or day. 240W ÷ 7 hrs = 34 W useable per hr before it's empty. Nobody's talking about this talking point.

It's a small unit with a small 268wh battery, which makes it light and inexpensive. I've reviewed even smaller units. It depends on what people want it for. Camping etc with some solar charging it doesn't do too bad.
