I use it to charge my cell phone and E-bike battery while riding. It always keeps my E-Bike battery topped off and extends my riding range. Also when I stop during my ride to have lunch, I can plug the Bluetti EB3A into the wall outlet as I eat and it will charge up fast.

How does it charge your bike as you ride it?

This is helpful. I just ordered a refurbished one and am getting it in a week or so from ebay. More than sufficient for my needs I think. I'll come back to this when I get it. Thanks!

Fantastic, I'm glad you found the video helpful.They are handy units to have. I've got two, and they are perfect for keeping my camera gear charged up and my 12v fridge running. I've only had one issue where it wouldn't take a charge from wall socket...charged it via 12v car adapter once, and it's been fine ever since.

This was an excellent presentation. My EB3A arrived today. This review taught me everything I needed to know regarding how to use it.

Cani u use it with the panel and plug in at same time?

Can you hookup a external battery to this to double/triple the 268wh?? I know you can do it with the bigger ones

There are KZread videos showing how to use a suitable battery to extend the EB3A capacity. I think one way was to us ebike battery packs!

Boss when we’re on road what’s best place we can use ac charger… I get we can go into a Starbucks but are there any that we can use from outside for free?

I know some parking lots have outlets on the light posts...but getting power might be cause for security to ask you to leave. The Bluetti has pass-through charging so you can charge via 12 v socket...solar panel as you drive and still use the unit while it charges.

Would this run a 30 quart fridge with a 200 watt solar panel?

I run an Alpicool 50L fridge with no problems I draw around 60w while it initially cools down. I believe it is only rated for a 100 or 120w solar panel for charging. I use a 100w that charges an auxiliary battery and use that to charge and run my fridge at the same time. I can also plug directly into the 100w panel to charge. Also I have just used the 100W solar to run the fridge while I rewire/relocate the aux battery. The solar panel runs it without any issuse..I do charge it to 100% before plugging the fridge into it.

I "daisy chain" mine so I use 100w solar to charge and run my 12v fridge at the same time. No issues so far.

I admit, I skipped around your video a bit. Did you address why your AC outlets have actual ground plugs and not just a general recess?

Bluetti EB3A is a good product but have a major problem : Charging from solar panel. On the official forum website, this is one of the main user's topic Don't expect to charge with low light

When I need to use the solar I plug in while driving or parked in direct sun...like every solar panel it will work best in direct and full sun. Its n ot a problem with the item your trying to charge but a problem with the location your charging. I've pulled the Explorer ahead at campsite to get full sun for charging.

Huge waste of money. Actual useable Watts. About 240 ! Real life usage. What would you want to leave on for 7 hrs? A 500W heater. This Bluetti will not power it but for 1.75 hrs tops. What about a TV for 6hrs? Hmmm? Then you must recharge it. Waste of money. Look at it this way. Nobody's talking about this low Watt available over the long haul for the nite or day. 240W ÷ 7 hrs = 34 W useable per hr before it's empty. Nobody's talking about this talking point.

Bluetti tells it. And you can see it on the website before you buy: A mini fridge (60 W) 3,6 h, So you must know were you will use it for. For me it is for outside use. At home I have 6000Wp PV panels (+ batteries) so I don't need the EB3A at home.. If you will have a mobile solar generator usable at home then the Bluetti AC200max is better than the EB3A. Expandable from 2048Wh to 8192Wh.

you can easily add a 12v 100amp hour battery to this capacity all you need is a 17 dollar 12v to 24v step up converter and a few wire connections ...that capacity can expand as much as you need

@@Camp_Runamuck I charge mine by solar and use it for my CPAP. One charge is good for one night. I also have a 100ah LifePo4 battery that I charge with solar and use to charge the bluetti on cloudy days. The 100ah LifePo4 is good for another 5 days. So I can go 6 days with my set-up, and indefinitely with solar. A comparable set-up with an "official" battery back-up is $800 and is only rechargable via AC/Grid. The Bluetti and LifePo4 battery setup was less than $600 and has more uses and more recharge options.
