Interesting. I was surprised that for nearly 50 minutes that the Midea was pulling over that much wattage. 657 watts at its highest draw? And it didn't look as if it ever got below 390 watts. And over 500 watts just before it shut off. My 50 year old Panasonic window AC, still works, which has one of the original designs where the front evaporator/and fan is only 8 inches in height and the rest of the unit condenser is outside, similar to the Clearview AC where the window can come down nearly all of the way. Only draws a around 450- 500 watts when running. And of course being the standard compressor, draws nothing when it cycles off except for the fan wattage. An inverter compressor never shuts off. I have a Samsung refrigerator with the inverter compressor. That compressor will ramp down to as low as 11 watts, most of the time when I do look at the kill-a-watt meter I have hooked up to it, it averages 90 watts or less. When it needs to cool down after I have the doors open to get a lot of food and veggies out, it will ramp up to 400 watts for several minutes before it ramps back down to below 100 watts. I thought that the Midea would have far better efficiency than that.
Dude.. get a pecron e2000 expandable for your set up. You won't regret it. And it's on sale. 4 times the battery for about 20 % more cost,and if you have solar you could bring in up to 1200 watts live time. Would last all day for sure and probably most the night
Found one of these midea 8000 btu u shape ac units on offer up, just installed yesterday and hooked it up to my pecron 2000 lfp and it will probably run for my entire 7 hour on peak time. Also tried plugging it in to my bluetti eb3a and it actually had no problem running it!! Wild! These ac units are spectacularly efficient and quiet as can be
50 minutes ain’t shit. You need WWAAAYYY more battery. And if there’s a power outage wtf do you do then? Those small Bluettis are a waste of money, I know, been there, done that.
Thank you for showing the power draw over a long period. Hoping to buy an AC like this one unless I find one more efficient
Awesome video, need more ac and battery tests
In an emergency I would set it to like 75 just to take the humidity out, this way the compressor will cycle off much sooner
I'm not surprised the eb55 only has a little over 500 watt hours.

It’s hard to tell if you had AUTO or DRY mode enabled on the Midea. I’m puzzled too but clearly see two lights on the panel.
