I appreciate you sharing this message. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

This seems a good idea. I have an eb3a and it’s great. I don’t use the wireless charging as it’s slow and the light is unnecessary. This is the eb3a without the bits I don’t use. Separate solar connector is good too.

I really like your video, great job!

Nice little unit, thank you for posting.

Sounds like this maybe comparable or better than the jackery 240. Thanks for the review!

It’ll be $179. So, not expensive at all. It has better features, except a slightly smaller battery.

Mine just arrived, I’m excited to give it some stress testing. I like the flexibility of tiny back-packable size.

@@OffGridAdventure Not many yet. I’m an “ambassador” for them. Working on three videos for the AC300 currently, and now also the AC2P.

Nicely done. I have 3 of the EB3As and enjoy them for what they are. My average cost for them was $209 and the extra $30 is well worth it. I like that Bluetti went to Xt60 connection for PV input but losing wireless and 5521 DC ports seems too much, add in less capacity and AC output and I am like you, backpack or small apartment. I didn't see weight but the way you were handling it makes me think less than 7 lbs.? Maybe an add on capacity for the EB3A or AC180 but 9AH battery will only add 75% capacity. Thanks for the video!

The new Jackery lineup is much better than their older models. So, you really can’t go wrong with either.

Smaller and powerful?! I love it already!!!

Ran my bar fridge which drew 73Watts of power for 11 hrs. Going to try it on my apartment size fridge. Could handle the apartment size fridge.. I am returning it because I got either a faulty one or it has serious problems. The unit stopped charging if it was moved in any way. the bluetooth connection kept on disconnecting. i had the unit plugged into a wall outlet and then plugged my bar fridge into the unit. i later found out there was no throughput and my fridge wasn't cold. i left the unit without anything charging it for 2 days and it dropped to a 62% charge so it doesn't keep a charge. i am very disappointed because it looks ver nice and is very light and compact. it power delivery is not steady enough to trust with running a computer.

What about a little 300w immersion heater device to boil water?

That low efficiency is a bummer. However… Considering that you probably use the AC output only when you actually need it, the impact might be minimal. If you expect AC loads to run all day, it’s probably a poor deal based on battery capacity

I’m still trying to get an understanding of how much of a difference the smaller inverter makes I guess in terms of operating cost compared to the Eb3a. Or I could just be honest with myself and ask how much of me wanting this new toy can I justify (I love the handle!) 😂

How well also.. will a Tecsun 380 small SW / AM/FM Radio work and last using this unit

Hi ...Thanks for sharing I love it 😊 I'm trying to save for a small one just to charge my phone and notebook 😮 be safe 😊

Hi Yvonne. Thanks for stopping in. I appreciate all of your comments and feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

Would this unit run a cpap machine? If so, for how long?

I would check what voltages the MB need and what the bluetti give

Congrats on being the first! Did you update the firmware on the AC2A before testing? I have 2 of the EB3As and i found that the BMS was not calibrated. I had to first charge them up to 100% and then update the firmware (mine required both the system and BMS firmware updates). After updating, the battery when from 100% to 65% and i again recharged them to 100%. They have been running continuously in UPS mode for about 1.5 years and i haven't had any problems and they have weathered many blackouts of an hour or more. You may want to try this and 70% seems quite low. Hope you got one of the AC70Ps for review too! Thanks for a great review!

@OffGridAdventure

Hi, it was up to date. But, it’s possible that the BMS needed calibration. I have an EB3A as well with no issues after one year.

I have 2 questions... 1) what kind of LED lights and how long will they run in an off grid cabin. .. 2) how well ..or..will it run in a cold (not) yet heated hot tent in extreme cold 32* F. And dropping to -0*F and lower.. if its left in a tent or cabin..

U r great.

You might get a better percentage total if you draw more AC load. At 30 watts, adding the inverter running load of approximately 6 watts is an extra "invisible" 20% usage at 30 watts.

@OffGridAdventure

8 ай бұрын

That’s true! I try to get close to 0.2C in testing to keep it consistent. But, the inverter does play a huge role in parasitic draw.

@chrisreynolds6331

@@OffGridAdventure I've found that, it's very noticeable on a light load for a long time. I find most 300 watt inverters draw about 6 watts continuously just to operate, irrespective of load level. I've just bought some 12 volt LED light bulbs for my table lamps so I can run them on the DC output and turn the AC inverter off if not needed. If I used 5 watts of mains voltage LED lighting on the inverter I would get less than 50% efficiency.

Bought a refurbished eb3a ahile ago, about $150. I also have a "togo power" station 231wh. The bluetti is just not efficient enough. Under small loads it seems to have shorter run times, higher watt loads i dont see the conversion losses as much. I like some of the features the ac2a has like turning off the bluetooth but with the poor conversion numbers its questionable.

@OffGridAdventure

8 ай бұрын

Those are some interesting and valid observations. I’ve noticed most small LFP batteries have a lower conversion rate than their larger counterparts.

Can this work in the Philippines?

Can you have this plugged into mains electricity and have something plugged into it to act as a battery backup?

Same thoughts as your other comment. If you can get something with 2kWh then you’ll have a few days worth of power. It’ll also run a hot plate, kettle and mini fridge.

Would this be sufficient to power a laptop, modem and monitor during a power outage?
