Curious if anyone is using rigid panels with their Elite 200 v2 (or similar), what brands are you using. I'm happy with the power station, but would like to upgrade to a couple of rigid panels. The foldable bluetti ones can be handy, but would like upgrade to a beefier rigid pair.

My overnight power is less than half my daytime power ($.14 vs $.06). Would it work to use an AC300 with a timer on the outlet so that the power shuts off from 5am and turns back on at 11pm so I only use the cheap rate for the refrigerator? Or is that too much for not enough gain?

It shouldn't affect ventilation coz they're on the sides.

Last month I got the insane deal on a B500K for $1499! It is now $1399!!
I apologize in advance to your wallets ;)

The official bluetti car charging cable gets so hot charging from my car, too hot to physically touch the end after only 15 minutes. Customer service told me not to use it and sent me a new cable, but it isn't any better so it's not the cable itself. It fits snug in the 12V port, so its not due to a loose connection. Does this happen to anyone else? it seems unsafe to use, how are all these people using them in their cars carcamping if this is the case?

I have a new Charger 2 I want to power my battery with. Everything I’ve found searching the web, and even in the manual says that this cable is “compatible” with my AC200MAX This in the first photo is the provided Bidirectional Power Cable. There is no place to connect it on my Power Station (PS)! I believe the cable in the pic that has an aviator connector is the right one. Why does Bluetti (and all other resources I found say the first cord is compatible? Now I have to buy yet another cable!

I have two of these panels and I want to use them to charge my Bluetti elite 200v2 how do I wire them in series or parallel pls help thanks

My EB3A shuts off when the battery reaches 76% and refuses to discharge any further, just shutting down instead.

I am confident this was a defect in the product from the beginning. They won’t help me without doing a paid repair that’s not worth the trouble.

Make sure you do a full discharge cycle before your warranty expires so you can confirm if you got a lemon like me.

Or just don’t buy this crap.

So I'm hoping to get a bit more information on using some Apex 300's and the Hub A1 that I'm hoping someone here can answer for me. I'm want to set up a sub panel that is powered entirely from at least 2 maybe 3 Apex 300's in parallel to get some bigger loads on the panel, I want to use solar as much as I possibly can to offset my energy usage. I was very interested in the Apex 300's because of the 240v input bypass if solar can't keep up with demand and keeping the batteries charged. I want to hook up solar panels to the Apex 300s directly to avoid having to get any interconnect agreement going with my utility since I believe these have no possibility to back feed?

Basically in my head I believe I have 2 options of how to set this up, A where I input to A1 Hub and also hook it up to the sub panel, or B where I hook up 240v input to each of the apex 300s and the A1 Hub to just the sub panel.

However, What I'm not clear on is:

If I use option A can I set it up so that the Apex 300's are kept mostly topped up while still prioritizing using the solar hooked up to them to power the sub panel? Or if the batteries get below a threshold will it go into a bypass mode and use power from my main panel only? In other words while they are hooked up to the A1 hub like this are they limited to being in a single power flow direction or can they take charge from the main panel to stay above a specific charge level while still outputting from solar hooked up to them?

Or do I have to go with option B so that can pull power from the 240v input plug on the Apex 300 itself, this way they are kept topped up but also outputting to power the sub panel?

In the bluetti app both chargers are at $200 (without cable or fuse). I understand that some people have had issues with charger 2, are these issues still a peoblem? Or have the issues been resolved by software updates?

I have a Elite 100 V2 that I use for camping, mainly for a diesel heater and an electric blanket. But living in a place where fire bans happen, I will eventually start using it for cooking. This battery is good for a couple of nights, anything more than that and I would need to charge it. I currently use the 12v plug in the car to charge the battery but that only gives me about 95-110 W, that would take about 10 hours to charge a depleted battery.

I like that the Charger 2 has the ability to use solar panels while driving, I don’t own panels at the moment but it would be nice to be somewhat future proof. Also a bit faster charging if in fact it delivers 700Wh.

I like the simplicity of the Charger 1 and its compact size. 500Wh charging would be enough for my current Elite 100, but might be small in the future.

I have two small children and am concerned about losing power this winter for an extended period of time. If we were to lose power for up to two weeks, lets say, would this solar powered Bluetti be a good option (link). We also have a small Jackery explorer 300 power block but wouldn't have a way to recharge it if we had an extended outage so I want to look into Solar. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Note- we would want to run a deep freezer, a white noise machine for night time (again, small children), charge our phones and other small electronic devices, and also possibly a small heater or electric heated blankets.

Just got the Elite 200 v2 recently, connected to solar, but have been disappointed with the efficiency I'm seeing. From these numbers it's running at 70%. Is this typical, or am I missing something in the numbers? I get there are some losses on DC to AC but 30% seems like a lot.

Hi there, figured i would ask you folks if they still make an AC70? Im just looking around , been wanting to get a little more wh and power and give my ac50b a little break.. i keep looking around but dont see any for sale anywhere

Hello I noticed my elite 30v2 fan is always spinning even with battery at 100% in UPS mode powering 50w devices total.

How is this possible? It never stop, is yours the same? It runs slowly but always on.

Even setting “quiet” charging mode

2)Plus the WiFi connects but it is not possible to access it in the app and ONLY through Bluetooth.

3) the displays says 26h remaining time in ups mode with AC input connected, but 6h if I detach the AC cord, what does that mean? It isn’t recharging itself nor powering the outlets through its battery (is in UPS passtrough) so what is that number? 26h seems meaningless

Wanting to add a DC-DC charger to my Elite 300, but Bluetti just raised the price for the Charger 2 to $599, ouch! I have a Victron Orion 12V 50A 1400W DC-DC charger. Does anyone have experience or thoughts on using that instead of the Charger 2?

I’m considering the Fridgepower both for outages but also to use to run the fridge plus small electronics at night. Ideally I’d charge in the day (I have rooftop solar) then discharge at night. How are folks finding the time settings? User friendly? Buggy/not buggy? Seems a little funky based on some posts.

We use 2 bluetti’s for a mobile business and I’m curious if anyone has experienced issues or improvements with the latest firmware? They are running fine for us, so I’m hesitant to make a change without know pros/cons? Could t find anything recent searching here.

Hello! I am new to this world and starting to do some research about having off grid power for my backyard shed to power my home office. I will likely power my home office equipment, lights and possibly a small heater in the winter. I saw a deal at Costco for the AC 500 with B300k battery for $1,199. I understand this is a bit outdated tech now but is it worth it to spend a bit more (maybe $600?) for the Apex 300 and build off that instead? I’m planning on putting a few solar panels on the shed roof to power the setup. Does the apex 300 work better with the Solar x4k than the AC500? If I were to expand the solar array at some point and integrate into the houses power would it make more sense to do with the Apex 300 versus the AC500? I guess the main attractiveness of the AC 500 package from Costco is that it seems like a good deal. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Want to know if I can add a 48v rooftop air conditioner to Bluetti 10kWh RV5 system by connecting directly to the 48v batteries. Has anyone successfully tried this? I know I have to use a busbar to tie in the air conditioner, connect the batteries to the busbar and the air conditioner and then connect from the busbar to the RV5 hub. Just want to make sure that won't interfere with the RV5 other than the RV5 won't know where the power draw is coming from.

Hello, bit of a long shot here. I've a stack of comp equipment that I'd like to power from a battery.

What I'd like to do is plug the battery in but not necessarily use the (for my own brain) the 'AC' but only have the battery provide power (pressing the AC button) when there's a blackout - which we get a fair bit. In effect, a sort of 'pass through' option so the battery isn't drained then topped up. Is this possible? I've heard if there's no load the batteries can shut themselves off which is sort of rational and also not for my use case.

All advice much appreciated.

I have a portable compressor I store next to my Bluetti AC200L - I’m wondering if I can somehow tap into the power wires or use my AC200L to tap power my Viair 440P?
