Ahhhh I just realised this is the EB70 not the current AC70.
Seems pretty good for 716wh. Is it LFP or some other chemistry?
Lithium iron phosphate batteries in it :-)
BATTERY INFO
Capacity: 716Wh (22.4V, 32Ah)
Type: LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate)
Life Cycles: 2,500+ Cycles to 80% Original Capacity
Shelf-life: Recharge to 80% Every 3-6 Months
Management System: MPPT Controller, BMS, etc.
$573.28 if checked out using ZIP
What type of solar panel would you hook up to one of these?
If you use a generator to recharge it's easier and you don't need to worry about the sun.
Cheers for the tip. The reason I asked about solar is for the peace & quiet when camping. The noise from brother's generator is quite loud.
It's only just over 80 amps of 12v. Solar 140w panel or higher should do if you have sun.
If you get an extension cord you can put the generator a long away away.
There are also quiet generators that can be purchased.
Most panels will work, generally you'll need an adapter cable. You can use an old panel removed from someone's roof (provided its within the input specs) which will outperform the cheap stuff you find on ebay. Biggest downside is they don't fold.
From their FAQ:
Q3: Can I use third party solar panels?
A: PV input requirements for EB70:1) Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) between 12V-28V; MAX input current: 8A; Input Power: 200W Max.
2) Equipped with MC4 Connector. If your panel has an Anderson connector, please purchase Anderson to MC4 cable, separately.https://www.bluettipower.com.au/products/bluetti-eb70-portab…
I've never seen a roof panel with OCV of 28V or less. Most are 40+
Solar Input: 200W Max. OCV 12-28V, 8A.
Something like a 200w folding solar panel, many different types like flexible, solid or blanket types.Pretty sure you you could hook up 250w panel but you'll never get more than 200w from it. don't exceed 28v!Interesting thought…. so if this is 200w from solar max. Minus efficiency what sort of daily solar top up do you think is possible?
Happy to learn something and be corrected but from what I think I know…
A fridge consuming roughly 2.0a/h will drain 48a/h. So it will exhaust the battery in less than 24hrs… and maybe it will get through the 24hr period with solar assistance. But the next day the battery is dead and its gonna rely on solar alone.Seems like a day trip battery only. But I am happy to learn more.
A fridge consuming roughly 2.0a/h will drain 48a/h
Maybe less than that
Typically a medium-sized top loading fridge that has reached thermal equilibrium with an ambient temperature of about 25°C, will draw an average current of somewhere around 25 amp/hours per day, near enough to an averaged current of 1 Amp.

Works to be around 60ah battery
Got my 200ah lifepo + inverter for 200more. But ofcourse not as portable, but 3x+ the capacity
I bought 3 x Coofly 1000Wh for $99 each from amazon price error.
Its Lithium tech but for the price its fantastic. One lives in my car all the time while the other 2 are backup.
yeah, I feel like this is the way to go unless you need the above product for a specific reason, like camping out of a tent?
If you have a caravan or even a 4WD you go camping in, a larger battery + inverter would be a much more viable option.
Maybe a dumb question, but does this work like a UPS?
It won't replace the function of a UPS.
A real ups will have an insanely fast switch over time so the devices never know power is gone.
This will power devices but never function as a UPS.
Edit: looks like the newer model does technically meet the UPS requirements
https://www.bluettipower.com.au/pages/ac2a-ac70Are you sure? I haven't used this model but similar devices I've used in the past don't worry about switching, you're always drawing from the battery so connecting and disconnecting the mains has no impact on devices connected.
I have similar question because the low end commercial UPS are silly overpriced and the battery are notorious.
I don't know this specific model but I have similar devices from Ecoflow and AllPowers that have basic UPS function and it works perfectly. They don't have any of the advanced programming functions but they'll auto switch from mains to battery in ~20ms or faster depending on the model, just check the specs.
The EB3A has a UPS mode, but not this model. The EB70 has been around for a few years, so the features aren't quite as good as the newer models. I have an EB70.
Good price. I've been running the EB55 with the 120w solar panel but paid around 1.4k 2 years ago. Hasn't skipped a beat though.
Great price, i run mine around the house all the time for recharging scooters and other bits and bobs. Its great for camping although you have to be a bit mindful of not plugging 2 kettles into it at the same time which will trip out the output wattage. Great little unit though and charges pretty fast off the panels. Im using mine with an old $99 kmart 160w panel which works great.
Will this be enough to run stuff like air fryers, mini oven, portable fridge? Temping to get one for camping so I don't have to pay extra for a powered site.
This one specifically, probably not. You would need to check how many Watts your devices uses but an air fryer is probably well above the 1000W this one can do.
Plus it has a capacity of ~750wh meaning it can put out a total of 750w for 1 hour, or 325 for 2 hoursThere are bigger units, with more wattage it can put out + bigger capacity. But a bigger price comes with that as well.
If you have a bit of a setup like a trailer or camper you take with you there are dyi systems you can do for 1-1.5k which will be wayyy more capable but you need to be comfortable doing a bit of setup yourself.

Thanks OP. Bought one to power my astrophotography rig; had my eye on this for a while to replace the 12v deep cycle battery I use.
Buy a 100ah lifepo and battery box $500. Much higher capacity and discharge rate to run an inverter.

FYI to anyone that purchased one, the included AC charging brick is extremely loud. If you can find a 7.4mm 230w barrel charger for a laptop it provides a much quieter charging solution. I grabbed a HP 230w laptop charger for mine for $25 off marketplace, and it works a treat. Any 230w+ 19-20v charger will do the job.
Any AC180 deal?
