      People that buy Battle Borns have kink called the chocolate greenback. Its when you wipe your ass with $100 bills and flush them.
      You can have 2.5kwh in cool battery boxes by next week or you can do a little research and wait 2 months for for more than 14kwh adn Lego like assembly. The latter will cost you a couple hundred more once you buy a BMS, welding cable, pure copper lugs, hydraulic crimper, YR-1035+ and a load tester. At most you would be paying $2300 and thats if you get a 300A continuous BMS and insist on adding one of the most expensive shunt based monitor systems. If you need 15,000 watts in a van its because you're crypto mining and running two A/C units while teasing your hair for a 1983 Def Leppard concert.

    I purchased the Bluetti 200Max a while ago along with one of their portable panel kits (200W). It's been good, but we were constantly having to charge it up with our generator as the panels were just too under powered to get the job done with any kind of heavy use. We'd just recently received our dozen CanadianSolar 445W Bifacial panels and are waiting on the EG4 5600EX inverters (backordered) so we decided to try hooking up 2 of the CS 445's to see how they'd do with it. Within seconds of turning it on, we were getting 750 watts of PV charge and had the battery charged to 100% in under an hour. We're going to put away those little foldable panels for good and enjoy some solar for the first time in a while.

Just getting into solar generators and just wounding how the ac 200max would work with the b300 batteries. I am looking at the ac 200 max for general home use as back up power supply with possible expansion in the future if it is needed. Thoughts?

    PASS THRU GRID CHARGE FAILS WHEN DRAWING 1500w!
    Tur This is a fantastic review and based on this, I did get the AC 300 and B300 battery set up… I did not see in your test and I’m having problems
    In one scenario, I am charging the B 300s connected to the AC 300 via “grid charge“ actually a pure sine wave generator which charges at 1750 W… Everything works great. As long as the concurrent AC draw is less than 1500 W that is a offgrid Fraser/LED lights… However when I use 1500 W or above and always less than 2000 I’ve tested… The AC 300 shuts down and then restarts… This is not a trip of a breaker
    The sign wave generator powering the grid component does not flip a breaker… It does not in any way, pause or fail… This is completely an AC 300 shut down and restart without any error codes whatsoever… I know three other people that this has occurred with it does not occur during PV charging only grid charging does the can you address the pass-through error on the AC 300 that occurs when a draw Such as this which I believe is called pass-through
    One final note… If I unplug the “grid power“ that is, it is running standalone by itself. I have absolutely no shut down problems that is without pass-through concurrency. The AC 300 works just fine. I put a killawatt meter on and then watching at the coffee maker, will do the same thing it draws 900 watch with a 1500 W surge and it completely shuts the AC down to a restart but only when it’s plugged up charging with grid power standalone this is not an issue. Can you address this please

    Hi Will, I believe you are doing a great job and might be interested in helping with the following problem: After buying a Bluetti AC300 and B300 battery, taking it up to our RV and setting it up I discovered what seems to be a norm, there is a "floating ground". This is not explained in any of the documents from Bluetti. This means In other words, no ground. This is a problem for me because I have a good energy monitoring system installed in my RV that looks at voltage, amps, hertz, checks for wiring incorrectness and has surge protection. This system shuts down the trailer whenever things are not safe. I want to have shore power supply the Bluetti and have the Trailer plugged into the 30amp Bluetti AC outlet. As soon as I plug in the RV my energy monitoring equipment blocks the power from proceeding into the trailer. The error message is "Open Ground". I have tried bypassing the monitoring system and testing my outlets. They all are now "Open Ground". I do not consider this safe. Any ideas on how to proceed grounding my Bluetti? I have tried to email Bluetti, they don't seem to want to answer this question.

    Thanks for the awesome review. If I was looking for a solar generator to use mainly as a backup generator for chest freezers, and the occasional road/camping trip (not in an RV), what would you recommend? Is this unit that much more worth it over the AC200P or 200max? Also considering the cost difference. Thanks

  • @Chubbydippin

    Great and informative review of this product I'm interested in. I'm seriously considering using the ac 300 + b 300 to power a van build. To power my 120v things I was gonna string together/daisy chain some outlets powered from the inverter. My thought was to start with a gfci/afci combo outlet as protection for that location and potentially 2 more outlets downstream. Does this sound feasible? Doable? Haven't heard much about these types of outlets being powered by the ac 300's built in inverter. Is it overkill? Does it's built in inverter already have over current protection? Also, if strictly boondocking and no shore power, how are these inverter outlets grounded? Just been wondering how a ground fault circuit interrupter would have a true reference to ground if the ac 300 itself wasn't grounded? Will, you make me think, and I presume thats, in part, what you're trying to do. Thankyou so much for all you do and for guiding us through this myriad of options for both home and mobile power.

  • @elmerkilred159
    @elmerkilred159 2 роки тому +10

    I think I would like to be able to use this with the high output alternator on my car as a source for charging. You can daisy chain alternators, so 400amp x 2,3, or 4 would be a hella fast to put juice back in the batteries. Then you could just swap the batteries out in your barn, or garage eliminating the need for grid connection. (Recharge on your way to work, if the trip is long enough... So many possibilities). 210 output would be sweet. Battery operated welder or kiln.

    • @Burn0u7
      @Burn0u7 2 роки тому +6

      Bluetti are using LiFePO4 batteries for all newer products, these are heavier and store less energy, but much more safer and long-lasting ( 2500 cycles, year with 8% discharge etc ). EcoFlow are using both LFP and LiPo / NCM . I wouldn't want big LiPo in my home.

    It’s an interesting unit.
    Looking at the manual for the battery it says it can be charged multiple ways. Like up to 500 watts from wall charger and 200 watts from PV, both can be combined. But when my main charge comes from the AC300 at 2400 watts, can I still attach a 200 watt panel to the battery for more capacity?
    The Bluetti website also lets you parallel two AC300 for 240V systems and add 24kwh of battery. That is some serious power.
    One item I wish for is being able to connect off the shelf batteries. I guess that’s technically possible thru the car charging port.

    I ordered the AC300/2 B300/3 solar panel package one minute after they went live at 7pm. If all goes smoothly with that system upon arrival and testing, I plan on adding another AC300, more battery packs, and tying to the panel of my house, which as you mention with two AC300 units, would get me to 240 to run my well pump. With a ground mount solar array, this battery system, well, and septic on our property= OFF GRID BABEEE!! Now I just need Tesla to get going and finally send me my preordered Starlink system . . . ;-)

  • @jayjonah2762
    @jayjonah2762 2 роки тому +37

    along with most the stuff you mentioned, i would also like them to have "stack ports" instead of, or in addition to, the cables. having a little port that opens up on the top and bottom of each unit, so that if you stack them, they can connect just via being stacked (and the cover being removed for the ports, of course). Great video as always Will :)

    • @5FWS5
      @5FWS5 2 роки тому +7

      I agree that with such a nice tidy stacking unit, having big bulky cables sticking out from the side make it a bit of a packaging problem when trying to build this into a van build as I am interested in using it for. Im not sure I want to rely on your idea of interconnecting sockets when stacked. While really slick IF used that way I think it also limits options such as low profile horizontal arrangement. I would like to see 90 degree plugs on the cables for a neater installation either way.

    • @Total_Egal
      @Total_Egal 2 роки тому +4

      with this you go into a route of propiatary and in a physical shape and size locked system with a short (or long caple run as shown in the wiring picture) you can be more versatile in placement of the inits in relation to each other but also in size or physical shape of future expantion modules if change is needet
      one batterie modul is very heva y and you will not only put it in place but also in the same move connect it electrical with a reliable connection for years?
      where do you want to place your stacking ports? on top or bottom? left or right? center? long or short sidepànels? and all have to work for a long time even in vibrationg and moving applikations like in RV and shifting motions with that heavy things while staying mechanical and electical sound all together all the time?
      srs but its a bad idea if you thing about it for longer

    • @jayjonah2762
      @jayjonah2762 2 роки тому +2

      @@Total_Egal right, which is why i said one of the options would be to have those ports in addition to having the cables. that way if you desire, you can have a stack without all the wiring, or if needed, you can still connect your batteries with the cables.

    Love this review. It tells me so much more than their web site. But what still isn't clear is does this unit have a transfer switch capability? I.e. If I plug in an AC source will the 120VAC outputs be driven by the AC source or must they always be driven by the inverter output and is the choice of inverter/AC in chosen automatically?

    Hi Will,
    I strongly think it’s the perfect time for you to build the Ultimate power system and show all those companies out there how it really should be done. I see all your comments you made during the past years there all good. Imagine Will how much you could change. I know in year or two competition is going to be really up there since it’s obvious people are so into it. I have good feeling you gonna go with 4000 watts or even higher system and make super compact and lightweight that’s when everything would start changing.
