I just got mine yesterday. I tested it on my fridge. After 18 hours, there was still 51% battery capacity left. I then tested it on the pump for our well. It handled it, no problem. Those are the two main things I would need to power in a power outage. I've only had it for a day but it sure seems like a nice unit with the right balance of weight, outputs and capacity.

I'm living only in a car and the Bluetti has been an absolute game changer for me. Cook my meals from it, power some heated blankets in winter, charge it at the 24/7 gym or library or shop or storage sheds - great bit of kit

Came for the review and got the bonus of finally seeing someone pick up the ac200. I really want the ac200L for home emergency backup, but the weight scares me off. I'm a short old woman.

BEWARE, the AC inverter itself uses 21 Watt per hour. This halves expected runtime when using it to power low load items.

Good review Roger! Just picked up it's little brother, the AC180, during Amazon Prime Deal Days for $549! Couldn't resist. It is replacing a wonky Grecell T1000 unit which has similar capacity (999 WH) and is smaller and lighter. But, the Bluetti seems to have a more robust build quality and design over the Grecell.

I think a feature these manufacturers are missing is more efficient alternator charging. A cigarette adapter isn't going to allow enough current to do the trick. Adding a dc-dc charger and an anderson connector would help.

I just got an AC180 to power a cpap when camping. The cpap draws a crazy amount of power I used it over night and was down to 40% battery in the morning. I was able to recharge it pretty quickly though. I’ve tried the EB55 and EB70S neither were powerful enough. I think I’m going to stick with the AC180 even though the AC180P is available. I can’t afford to keep chasing the latest and greatest Bluetti. 🙄

That's the best rice cooker in the world!!!! Had one in Taiwan! Thanks for the review!

It would be nice if they put some higher amp 12v outputs like some Anderson ports than can handle 30-45amps

I have the smaller EB3A which is perfect for my purposes. It is really small which is a plus. I want to buy a second unit for a back up but being cheap, I don't want to pay full retail so checked on their "refurbished" units which are really cheap. Let me say again, I really like my EB3A. I asked what they mean by "refurbished". I have yet to get a straight answer so that turns me off. JMHO.

The truth it was cold the AC180 100% charged supported our 1500W 120 AC heater approximately 1.5 hour on the lowest heat and fan setting. Needless to say we woke up shivering.

[ctclimberguy]

Will this run a LS Bros N2 pro diesel heater directly off the 10amp cigarette lighter plug?

[erniegarcia]

Can another brand of solar panels work with it? I already have two Jackery panels 😊

[Dram_bam]

When I charge my phone or try to charge my phone on the wireless 15 W charger, it intermittently cuts off/on every second from charging to not charging. I’ve tried multiple devices with or without the case on the phone. Has anybody else experienced this problem?

[fooffooffoof]

Where are you filming? it looks like a nice spot.

[davidcarrico]

Great unit, not a fan of the orange personally. Right now the original ac180 has killer deals. Between the two, I would just get the one with the better watts/$ ratio

[TheEric]

Great video... what camp table is that???

[kristygemchua]

Can you solar charge it while using it??? Recharging while discharging

[ryanmiller]

I just ordered mine, should be here Tuesday. Curious, what solar panel are you using to charge it and is it safe to use a 24v panel?

[hughseagraves]

Since you have the AC200 with the covers over the inputs and outputs, what's your take on having those versus not having them? Originally I was thinking I wanted a power station with port covers to keep the dust and accidental rain out but now I'm thinking i could just buy some outlet plugs for the AC and USB ports and just clean them when they get dirty. That, and i realized that even when charging on solar, the power station itself will be either in a tent or in my truck for security. Thoughts?
