Yes I've got the Ecoflow 800w version, almost takes away the need for solar if you are touring rather than spending weeks on a campsite. The beauty of these alternator chargers is that they help enormously in the autumn and winter months when solar isn't the best because of low sun conditions.
The reason you were only getting ~230w of charge is because the alternator was charging the vehicle batteries, habitation batteries, all systems, and the Bluetti at the same time. If you were able to isolate the systems so only the Bluetti was charging, you'd get much better numbers. Superchargers are great pieces of kit, but they're only as capable as the alternator output and draws will allow. Fitting a bigger alternator is possibly the way forward .... but with those two lovely Lithium batteries on board, Id be more inclined to fit a two way switch to prioritise what gets charged first.
I thought the same , but I needed to pair the charger to the powerbank and it’s over 500 watts of charge going in , even with everything else charging 👌 great bit of kit 🙂
Good morning ! There is a custom setting that can be utilised , I haven’t been able to run an eco flow as we don’t have one, so my honest answer is I don’t know sorry , perhaps a confirmation check with BLUETTI is best ? They are very quick at responding 🙂 sorry I couldn’t help 🙂
Great video Thank you. I have solar pannels and will be installing this setup. Can I run solar panels and this alternator charging unit at the same time? Or plug one In while driving once parked unplug it then plug solor panels in?
Great video lovelies 🥰 the alternator charger is such a good idea we’ve been planning to do similar with our EcoFlow 😊 loved the end footage with the doggies ❤ We like the Gastro fish too 😂 ❤ 😘 xxx
Morning guys ! Yes the charger 1 was pushing up to 580 watts into the allpowers , you need to download an app to set it up, but that’s quite simple to do 👌
@redsgotravels Hi guys, sorry for the delay. Work gets in the way for some 🤣🤣 that's brilliant. Thank you for getting back to us.. now to order one.. ❤️ stay safe
Thank you I’m a new subscriber Bont boy x bridge end tech apprentice great channel 👍 just bought the ac 200max for the 30amp dc plug really. Don’t know why they don’t have that plug on the 200L . Any way so you are charging your battery via a DC to Dc and the buetti via the One charger , it seems like a lot of current coming off your alternator, have you measured the total ? Also found a video where they connected the one charger in with the solar ( obviously dropping the voltage to match the solar voltage ) not sure if that is a good idea but it worked see Mel big van small world. Thank you for all the info well done good luck both 👍👍👍🏴🇨🇦🦢
Good afternoon and thanks for joining us ! Haven’t measured the alternator draw, but the smart devices seem to balance everything perfectly 👌not sure about the solar , be interesting to see if it works ! Thanks again and safe travels ❤️🙂
@@redsgotravels yeah it’s from B and Q and they’re waiting for their delivery, really frustrating, but we’re thinking of doing a charge back and ordering from actual BLUETTI instead 🤔
Hi can this be fitted in a car ? 🙂 im shocking with electrics 🙈 may have to get a Garage to do it as i have a vision of ending up like marv out of Home alone 😂

They really are a super bit of kit aren’t they ! Really pleased with ours too 🙂❤️

I bought the AC200L in October and the Charger 1 just after. An absolute game changer for us.
To get the charger to go to 560, you have to pair it with your power bank through the drop down menu in the app.
Thankyou Nick, appreciate the info, will update the app 🙂❤️ great aren’t they !
Fab bit of kit 🙂👌
All sorted and banging in the power 👌❤️
Great video- thank you
How does it connect to the power bank? ( did you mention via solar plug?) just trying to see if it will connect to my Aferiy ?
Good morning, yes it’s a standard solar plug cable 🙂
Hi redders, I want to know if the power output can be reduced to 400w as my EcoFlow. Delta 2 has a max 400w input via xt60 solar power socket

@ hi again , I have discovered it will since watching more UA-camrs so have bought one, happy as Larry now, whoever he maybe 😂
@JamesStevens-p2r excellent! Thanks for the update, much appreciated 👌

Good evening ! The BLUETTI 1 charger connects to the powerbank via the solar connection, so it would be only one method of charging at a time 👌
@redsgotravels thank you for your timely response
@letmiggyb3420 no problem 🙂
Great video lovelies 🥰 the alternator charger is such a good idea we’ve been planning to do similar with our EcoFlow 😊 loved the end footage with the doggies ❤ We like the Gastro fish too 😂 ❤ 😘 xxx
Thanks guys ! Glad you enjoyed 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐩🐩🐩🙂 a worthy upgrade ♥️
hi,
do you know if it has a regulator inside to stop it over charging the battery like a solar regulator has?
Hi , yes it’s a smart charger and has built in protection 🙂
What is the name of the unit in this blog and where did you get it from red thank you Mick davies
Hi Mick, it’s called the charger 1 from Bluetti 👍🙂 follow the link in our description for a discount , really is a great addition 🙂
A few days ago you did a review of the all power pro 2000.
If you were to buy one power bank which would you go for?
Bluetti, all power or ecoflow ??
Bluetti has safer & longer lasting battery chemistry than Allpowers. Your choice.
Or Aferiy?
Each powerbank has its own merits , and different features , it’s down to what suits you and your budget 🙂❤️ they are all great brands 🙂
We have an All Powers 2000 Pro, would the Bluetti alternator support this power bank ? Thank you
Hi guys ! Will check tomorrow and get back to you ❤️🙂
@redsgotravels thank you, really appreciated ❤️👍

Looks good 🤩 is Wilf loving the snow ⛄️😂
Hasn’t arrived with us yet , but when it does … lookout ! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🥰😂
Steaming great kit. We don't need it in Tenerife till December 😂😂😂😂
😂❤️ enjoy the sun !
Ordered one about 5 weeks ago, still waiting 🙄
I would’ve thought it should be a lot quicker than that 🙂 have you emailed them ?
@@redsgotravels yeah it’s from B and Q and they’re waiting for their delivery, really frustrating, but we’re thinking of doing a charge back and ordering from actual BLUETTI instead 🤔
May be worth doing ? Perhaps even a bit cheaper with the deals and our discount code 🙂 BLUETTIRGT
@@nicolacasalettoI wouldn’t bother. I’ve ordered from BLUETTI a few weeks ago . They’re now on back order, shipping from the 20/12
They are really popular for sure 👌🙂
Hi can this be fitted in a car ? 🙂 im shocking with electrics 🙈 may have to get a Garage to do it as i have a vision of ending up like marv out of Home alone 😂
Hi , yes it can be, it’s super easy to fit too 👌
I just use a £15 12v to 24v buck converter to do this
Good to hear alternatives 🙂👌
