Bluetti needs to utilize buss bars instead of cables for their interconnections. Since these units stack with a designed gap between the units, perhaps a port on the top and bottom of the unit could be designed. As stand alone devices these connector ports would be covered. The issues with cables are three fold: The longevity and reliability of cables is < bus bars. The cables can be snagged or pulled by movement, pets, or children. The cables interfere with tight installation on the right side. This is why bus bars for cell interconnections is the standard for industry and the military. Torqued lugged connections (ie not friction plugs) connect the battery input/output. Thanks, Dave, for the thorough review. I agree with your criticisms and recommendations 👍😎

@ErvigHenry 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Dave. I completely agree with your points regarding the use of bus bars instead of cables for interconnections. It would definitely enhance the longevity, reliability, and overall installation experience. By the way, have you checked out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It offers a massive 5kWh capacity, fast recharging, and waterproof technology, making it a great option for outdoor enthusiasts like us. It's definitely worth considering for your camping and backup power needs. Keep up the great work, Dave!

After reading many reviews and watching a lot of videos, I chose this option for my first backup power station. ru-vid.comUgkxHypYDKHAN93Lp2RQpfvU_ksc70wJ00pt I was between this and a larger option that could power a wider range of items, but the price/size/capacity blend seemed right for this unit. Hasn't gotten a ton of use yet, but the build quality is solid and it charges fine via the Rockpals solar panel I purchased to pair with it. One thing to note is that the screen is optimized for a top down viewing angle, which makes sense, but this means it washes out at other angles - especially low angles. Not a huge deal, but perhaps a better option for the display could be used to provide wider viewing angles.

Nice review Dave! I was wondering how this model handles passthrough charging.. I'm torn between this AC300 and the Delta Pro.. The Delta Pro has limitations when it is plugged in to AC power... What happened if you were pulling more from the inverter than the AC input could supply when it was connected to AC power?

@jimdigriz3436 9 месяцев назад

My natural gas powered backup was $3000, but it makes 12,000 watts for weeks if necessary. Batteries die in a couple hours, and this one makes 3,000 watts, only a quarter of a generator.

Generators have there place. I would always start with a small generator for emergency backup and add battery and solar later. I compare the cost in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f0skwN5sJvg.html

I am late to comment, but I just came across this very complete video, thanks. I already have a gas powered generator for power outages, but at the last outage, trips to gas stations were a nightmare, so I am considering getting a battery, so I get more flexibility. Do you have any data on how this unit charges using a generator? The idea would be to run the battery as the main source of power for key appliances, then charge it with the generator if the outage goes on for a long time. I would like to eventually use this as a solar system, but I am taking baby steps.

@ProjectsWithDave 5 месяцев назад

This unit is one of the better ones for charging with a generator because you can set the charge current to whatever you want to. This allows you to perfectly match the load with the capability of the generator.

Hey Dave. I'm trying to get the smallest footprint panel with the highest wattage at the lowest cost. Maybe a unicorn but wondered what your thoughts are. I have a limited space rooftop . Hip roof with dormer on south facing side. so that's why.

@ProjectsWithDave Год назад

Start with the highest wattage panel you can find, then sort by price/watt to find your happy medium. Signature solar has some of the best pricing. Here is a good option: signaturesolar.com/bluesun-460w-half-cell-bifacial-solar-panel-silver/?ref=SALE It is a BlueSun 460W Half-Cell Bifacial Solar Panel. It's only $0.57/watt. Bifacial won't help you much in your case, but it's a high power panel at a good price/watt. If you mount them with sufficient clearance off the roof you might see some benefit from the back side.

@timothyfarrell602 Год назад

I recently bought an EV. Currently, my solar inverters do not have the EV direct option. So I convert DC to AC and then converted it back to DC to charge my car. I have a grid-tie system without any batteries. Can you figure out the cost saving of having an inverter with the EV hookup that charges the EV without all the energy loss associated with converting from DC to AC and back to DC? Great channel. Thanks!

@extragoode Год назад

I had a similar question as you and this is what I found. First of all, there are no off the shelf products that I could find that charge an EV directly DC to DC, so right off the bat you're stuck with DIY and modified options. Solaredge says they charge directly off solar, but they still convert it because it uses a J1772 plug. Residential EVSEs come with either a J1772 plug or a Tesla plug. The J1772 port doesn't even contain any high current DC pins, so you're out of luck unless you have a Tesla, but the only Tesla stations with DC are the Superchargers and they don't normally sell those. If they did it's reported to cost between $25k and $100k plus installation. Similarly, both Chademo and CCS stations are $12k to $35k plus installation. Combine that with the fact that there's no such thing as a DC slow charge protocol. The slowest rate DCFC rate is 15-20kw depending on manufacturer, which would require at least a 15kw solar array, probably quite a bit more. You could theoretically get around that by using a battery as a buffer, but it'd still be super expensive and probably kill the battery rather fast with a lot of cycles. So how bad is converting DC to AC to DC? avt.inl.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/fsev/SteadyStateLoadCharacterization2015Leaf.pdf is an Idaho National Lab experiment on a 2015 LEAF. You don't mention which EV you have, but I'd assume that the charger for your car is the same or more efficient at converting AC to DC than that one. For the DC to AC side, www.e-education.psu.edu/eme812/node/738 says that high frequency inverters are 90-95% efficient and low frequency inverters are 75-85% efficient, at least in the mid range of their power rating. Since you have a grid-tie system, you're probably using microinverters, which are usually the higher efficiency. So your total EV charging efficiency is 67.875 to 85.975%, probably closer to 85%. So not that bad. Look at it this way, centralized electricity generation loses 2.2 to 13.3% of the power generated just transmitting it to your house, so inverting your Solar DC is probably about the same efficiency as using the grid. insideenergy.org/2015/11/06/lost-in-transmission-how-much-electricity-disappears-between-a-power-plant-and-your-plug/ Sorry, that was huge, long and confusing, but I hope it helped.

@gilbertarzner 5 месяцев назад

I tried running my small chest freezer off of my Bluetti 200P and 600 volts of solar and it was disappointing. The solar got it to 100% but it was down to 23% the next morning. The freezer when running was at 70 watts, which is pretty good. So much is wasted when using the inverter. Mabe a key point would be to use something with a more efficient inverter.

@ProjectsWithDave 5 месяцев назад

The most important thing for minimal emergency support is getting through the night. You can get a simple, inexpensive watt meter and measure the consumption of your freezer for a few days. That will allow you to calculate the efficiency of the inverter for intermittent loads. Only about 90% of the rated battery capacity is actually usable, so about 1,800Wh in your case. Also I have found for an intermittent load like a fridge you can expect to get about 80% of the available battery capacity due to idle losses of the inverter when the fridge isn't running. 1,800*0.8= 1,400Wh available for the freezer. So at 70W when running, you should be able to get at least 20hr of run time. Meter link: amzn.to/3XwchOF Hope that helps.

@dcarmageddons Год назад

Hey, I'm looking to buy a Bluetti power station with a B300 battery. Although I don't have a solar panel, I'm interested in installing a transfer switch. I have a question regarding its functionality. If I connect the Bluetti power station to the transfer switch, can I also keep it connected to charge with the grid?

@ProjectsWithDave 11 месяцев назад

That is a huge demand! Pool pump: 12hX1800W= 21,600 Wh Water Pump: 3hx1100W= 3,300Wh Daily Total Consumption= 24.9kWh That's about five LIFePO4 server rack batteries if you are running off grid and want to make sure it has power on a completely cloudy day . You can see a system that size I installed here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ipLRNglTdhg.html It would also take a good size solar array to meet that demand.

Question: Since you have 3 units stacked together, does that equal around 9kWh of useable power? You just are limited to the inverter at around 3,500W? So you could run most appliances in your house with the 3,000Watts of power but with 9kWh, they would run for like a day or two? Am I getting this right? Thank you. I've been considering getting these massive 10kWh batteries for whole home backup, but I have a Bluetti for camping and it does well. If I can just expand this system and implement it into whole house power backup, that would be awesome. Thank you for any help.

@ProjectsWithDave Год назад

This system is different than other products in that the top module "AC300" does not have an integrated battery. It is just the inverter and other electronics. The lower two modules in the stack are battery modules "B300," each one has a capacity of 3,072kWh. So, as tested, my system had a capacity of 6,155kWh. You can connect a maximum of 4 batteries to each inverter for a maximum capacity of 12,288kWh.

@kickgas7171 8 месяцев назад

The cheap, high frequency, transformerless inverter technology that Bluetti is using was never meant for powering inductive loads like the planer in this video. Without an iron core, copper wound output transformer to absorb the high startup surges, It won't be long before the MOSFETs in the H-Bridge circuit in this unit fail from repeated exposures to high surge loads. And when that happens, you had better hope that you don't have any expensive appliances plugged in to it because you'll likely set those appliances on fire if those MOSFETs have shorted to ground and this unit starts passing high voltage, high amperage DC current into your appliances. Better have a bunch of fire extinguishers handy if you've wired one of these into your home's electrical system.

Apartment dwellers could use these solar generators but where do you put the solar pannel? Three days of backup is a reasonable goal so do the math. If you want to backup your house, don't waste your money on these toys. Install a full solar system or get a gasoline inverter generator. Most home owners can get by with a 2000 watt generator and some long 10 or 12 gauge extension cords. If you need a small window AC &/or maby a big Freezer then get the 4500 watt inverter generator. Solar is great but cloudy days can ruin everything and you will wish you had a gas generator.

@@boomer7638 The B300 expansion battery has its own MPPT solar charge controller on the solar input. It is limited to 200W. The B300 can also be charged through the DC link (big fat cable) which is not limited since it's connected straight to the battery. The B300 also has a second DC input (barrel jack) for an AC (wall) charger. You can use this with solar but there is no MPPT, so to be safe, DON'T.

@@larrywong7834 The 500W input is NOT MPPT and should only be used with the AC (wall) adapter. IF, and ONLY if, you use the charging enhancer (D050S) can you use this port for solar.

Buy a gas powered generator. It’s cheaper and more reliable!

I agree, for most people a dual fuel powered generator is the first step for emergency backup. These solar powered battery backup systems are a great addition later to add capability and flexibility. In some situations, a gas powered generator isn't practical, due to access to fuel, noise, or reliability.

Sorry but BlueT software is junk. The worse I've seen in a while. They're not even close to same level as EcoFlow.

In laymen’s terms your information is useless. You talk over what most people can retain at the speed you are talking. The only thing I got was that you got a free solar generator. Oorah!

Sorry, I'm allows trying to be as efficient with your time as possible. You can always go to the RU-vid settings and reduce the speed of the video.
