    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.

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

    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 🙂

    I bought the AC200L in October and the Charger 1 just after. An absolute game changer for us.

    • @tobytails

      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.

    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 ?

    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

    • @redsgotravels
      @redsgotravels  24 дні тому

      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?

    • @redsgotravels
      @redsgotravels  Місяць тому +2

      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 👌

    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 ??

    • @ghunt9146

      Bluetti has safer & longer lasting battery chemistry than Allpowers. Your choice.

    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 👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇨🇦🦢
