            @Gomo: Example of where i used the ecoflow "differences"
            - limit car charging to 6ah so i dont blow the car circuit or 8ah if clamped to battery
            - small 400w inverter clamped to car battery and charge the ecoflow in 1hr of car running at 360w (more than bluetti)
            - set dc charge schedule so it can charge at 6ah for 4hours at night, so charging the battery doesnt flatten my car starting liefpo battery.
            - use bt app to turn on / off ac that has a vornado 533dc plugged in when camping.
            - charge the river2 from a powerbank (via usb c) if i need more power overnight to keep the fridge cold while i sleep.
            - as an unattended ups so power it can run nas / poe /cameras at home on outages.

            the real good feature are the charge schedule, the fast charging that works, and the car charging-limit

        Yeah that should work. Only issue would be limiting the power through bluetti app. On fast mode the Ac2a will draw 200watts from the solar input, this will most likely blow a fuse in your car.

        • Gomo on 31/01/2025 - 09:49

          @krisspy noted, I have the Tesla Model 3 & Y they don't have a physical fuse, just a E-Fuse if it were to trip.

          According to Teslas manual on the DC outlet "The power socket is suitable for accessories requiring up to 12A continuous draw (16A peak)."

          • krisspy on 31/01/2025 - 09:54

            @Gomo: Normal charging mode I think draws about 130w, should be fine on that setting, otherwise silent mode limits it under 100w

        • FoxJump on 31/01/2025 - 10:05
          +1

          you cannot limit the draw power from bluetti app, it's crap.
          it does 100w from cig socket. that's it.

          ecoflow you can pick 4a, 6a, 8ah

            @FoxJump: Not sure what you're on about, there's 3 charge settings and it affects how much power the unit sucks from the xt-60 input

              Well this is a revelation. Thank you!

        • Sleepycat3 on 31/01/2025 - 11:39

          No it won't. 200W doesn't blow your car fuse. It is over 10A which will blow the fuse. The AC2A is limited to 8.2A maximum for DC input in its specs. So it won't blow the fuse unless you have 2 sockets in your car and you are drawing more than 10A in total (the circuit is typically protected with a 15A fuse, so you would need to draw more than 15A, but there may be some older cars with just a 10A fuse).

          • ozhunter68 on 31/01/2025 - 21:42

            @Sleepycat3: Keep in mind why the fuse is there in the first place (hopefully the correct size for

            said circuit), it is to protect the wire from melting, burning or worse still starting a fire. 200 W is most

            certainly over 12 amps @ 12 V = 120 W. Would the fuse 10-15 amp fuse blow instantly, most likely not.

            Most fuses take a while to heat and overheat, hence being able to tolerate more current for a while.

            It depends on temperate of ambient air, plus of course the extra intense heat from ovecurrent,

            depending on how much over for how long etc.

      • Sleepycat3 on 31/01/2025 - 11:37
        +2

        Yes, this will work. The AC2A will draw only 8.2A from the socket.

    I bought the AC2A at the same price a few weeks back — two points that might help someone:

    1) I am using mine as an UPS. The fan does cycle about every 5 mins. I haven’t had any change over issues. Fan is pretty quiet.

    2) It is possible to connect a drill battery as an external power source in the same way that you connect the Car power supply or Solar panel. I connected a 4Ah Ozito battery using an adapter from AliExpress wired onto the end of the solar panel lead successfully, the display showed 150W of input power.

      wow that's interesting! can you link to any of those adaptors? I myself have few 18V Ryobi Batteries & 36V ones, any additonal options for recharging sounds game changing!

      • Sleepycat3 on 31/01/2025 - 11:28

        Get any of those battery adapters, but you need the output to be in XT60 to connect to an AC2A.

      I too was curious, I plugged in a 22v 6 cell lipo from one of my rc's. Worked fine at 200w

      • Sleepycat3 on 31/01/2025 - 11:41
        +1

        That's a 9A constant draw from that 6S LiPO. Was it a 4500mAh pack or larger? That would be the smallest that I would allow to have a constant draw to keep it below 2C constant discharge.

        • krisspy on 31/01/2025 - 12:07
          +1

          It's a 7000mah lipo rated at 100c (maybe 30-50c constant).

          It was just a tickle for the lipo, barely warm once it was discharged. The rc I use it on has a 160A esc on it, that gives it a good beating.

    • FoxJump on 31/01/2025 - 10:06

      yes i built my own ryobi 36v to cig socket to charge my river2 from too. really worth it for the e-mower types out there.

        can you share a pic

        is it juts a dummy adaptor wired to the car plug or XT60?

    • afayd on 31/01/2025 - 14:33

      Just wondering your thoughts on how well it performs as an UPS? Also, I’m not sure how many devices you have connect, but if you could give an idea about how long it would power a router and an average desktop, that would be great!

      • ozhunter68 on 31/01/2025 - 22:03

        Guessing 1/2 hour to a couple of hours. Router alone 5 to 10 hours I'd say.

      • Gomo on 31/01/2025 - 09:51

        Be better than nothing, I would assume if being used as a UPS ie for power outages this might just cover the outage time.

          if your cpap machine use 100w
          it will probably last 1hr, the inverter is inefficient compared to ecoflow

          sure UPS, but then once the power comes back, AC output is not coming back on automatically, so you cannot leave it unsupervised

            As a side note, INIU Power Bank, 25000mAh 100W USB C Laptop Portable Charger with my Resmed Air Mini on a plane. That would last probably 2 nights.

    • thatsnasty on 31/01/2025 - 09:51

      Some quick googling

      Autosense 10

      Device only 7 Watt Hours
      Device + Humidifier 22 Watt Hours
      Device + Humidifier + Heated Hose 34 What hours

      I don't know about much about this stuff but this unit is 204 Wh, so if you ran the CPAP with everything (34Wh) it would be 204/34= 6hrs run time. Can anyone confirm this is the correct way to math this?

      • FoxJump on 31/01/2025 - 10:09
        +2

        theres' a ton of inefficiencies.
        say your cpap takes …. 30W
        the display will probalby say 60W (for apparent power instead of real power consumption)
        and the estimate will be based on that, so .. yeah it sucks.

        running the same fan at max speed on river2 vs ac2a meant that, once adjusted for battery capacity, the ac2a actually provided a to-empty estimate 1hour less than the river2.

        ac2a is charge depth-of-discharge limited to 90% (says so in the manual), so there's already a 10% hit.

      • evanssm2jp on 31/01/2025 - 10:11
        +1

        looks correct but the inverters are never 100% efficient - not sure on this model but I would adjust 204wh to around 85% to be save so closer to 173wh so aroun 5hrs runtime assuming using AC power - I'm not sure if these cut out if there isn't enough current draw also - e.g. I have a fridge I tried to power via DC power on a VTOMAN jump 1000 and as it cuts in and out the power draw would drop and it would turn off.

        • FoxJump on 31/01/2025 - 10:15
          +3

          less than 85%
          take 10% off for the depth of discharge limit of 90% - stated in manual
          take 15% off for inverter inefficiency - stated in manual as "less than 15% inefficient"

          so your 204 is 156ah already.
          start from there.

        • FoxJump on 31/01/2025 - 10:16
          +2

          they have a mode for auto-power-off when draw is too low which you can switch off.

          • ozhunter68 on 31/01/2025 - 22:12

            @FoxJump: True, but I think they mean the device that is plugged in might turn off if voltage drops below a

            certain number, like a 12 V fridge can if not set up with low voltage cut off correctly.

      • anarky on 31/01/2025 - 11:19
        +1

        Took a look at the Kings range after your post and it seems their life cycle is considerably shorter than Bluetti/Ecoflow?

        For eg, "Kings 12Ah Lithium Portable Power Pack Cycle life to 100% DoD is ~1000"

        • techno2000 on 31/01/2025 - 13:28
          +2

          1000 cycles is more than enough for occasional use and apart from being cheaper they are also fanless and compact.More a lifepo4 powerbank than a power station.

          Of course if you need 240v and all the bells and whistles you need a powerstation.

          The weak point of all these devices including the Kings are the electronics rather than the batteries really.
          The electronics will probably die long before the lifepo4 cells.

          Just look at all the online complaints regarding bluetti/ecoflow electronics glitching and dying.

          The Bluetti support is awful apparently and the ecoflow support is much better.

          But you will probably need that 5 year warranty.

          • Telios on 31/01/2025 - 13:51

            @techno2000: Pretty much universal issue with complex products using bottom of the barrel PCBs and minor components.

            Inevitably some cheap part will fail before the entire unit and you'll have to hope the warranty covers it.

            Going to be a super common issue with the Chinese EVs, sure the warranty is 7/8/10 years, but good luck with some minor replacement part like a door sensor or window control board or ECU that dies after 7 years.

            Even super reliable OEM for brands like Toyota heavily rely on after market parts now. Doubt there will be equivalent for the dozens of minor electronics brands coming and going over the next few years.

          • ozhunter68 on 31/01/2025 - 22:22

            @techno2000: "techno2000" Sooo true. A lot of these Power Stations are not going to go beyond 1/2 or 5 years

            before having minor or major issues, sometimes complete failure. Many will roll the dice with

            warranty (which is still a major hassle), some won't bother. So many issues with these I hear, read

            and see on YouTube, with sometimes multipple bad units. Have to contact a friend who has a big

            AllPowers S2000 as many rapports of main chip getting corrupted software from varying voltages

            via solar charging (such as clouding or sundown), which completely fails the unit.

          Yeah, I dislike how Ozbargain has devolved into guys, this is a decent price right now, maybe not the ATL, but just posting it for those who need it now, you know… or just recently - this is the ATL for 2025! a few days into the new year OMG, lol

          However, we're dealing with end of life models (soon to be replaced by new model) prices now, so HODL and we may score a bargain - a real one, not a oh this is a decent deal.

          Was going to say I would buy one of each Bluetti & EcoFlow at $179 to $200ish, but just saw @toyintheattic2's comment about EcoFlow plans to introduce a paywall "for special features"

          That's a definite no go for me - not buying EcoFlow.

            @Ultraman: i have both. i'm returning bluetti next week.

            i did read abt the paywall, i plan on never updating the fw on these.
            Apparently some fw updates will brick things accidentally.

            so - never update the fw on your device.
            i hope they dont paywall my river2s

      when you're travelling at the speed of light, time is irrelevant !!

      • bcYield on 31/01/2025 - 13:33

        I thought it still took some time for light to travel to the earth.

      The flash sales are always on. The difference is that the products on the sale are cycled through. So wait until you find a model that you like. I use the newer Bluetti units launched in 2024 onwards (AC200L, Elite 200 V2, AC240, AC60) as their features finally caught up to the other brands. The older models have limitations, so be warned. Do your own research.

        Cheers I should spend a bit more for one of those models then I guess! And if I'm not gonna buy into the EcoFlow paywall ecosystem then I can spend more on Bluetti. Albeit, don't tell me Bluetti is gonna do the same and have their own paywall.

        • anarky on 31/01/2025 - 12:35

          I can't imagine a paywall on the River 2/3 since the features available on the app are already fairly basic. If they were to impose a paywall on these features it would basically become a LiPo car battery with an attachment.

        True, and worth reading to see if it is a suitable product for myself.

  • Daddy Chill on 31/01/2025 - 16:22

    I bought two of these for $179 each but still haven't used them. I charged them up but that's about it

  • timetoquit on 31/01/2025 - 16:44

    Could someone tell me if this battery would be sufficient to power my portable Engel fridge for on a 2-3 day camping trip? If not happy to hear any suggestions, thank you kindly.

    • Woosta on 31/01/2025 - 17:31

      the AC2A doesnt have enough juice, you would be comfortable with 1KWH for around 3 days. I bought the ac60p+b80p, really good for 3-4 days camping as i can separate the b80p and leave it for the fridge and the a60p for eveything else.

    • FoxJump on 31/01/2025 - 22:17

      river2 is enough to last my fridge from sunset till about 11am

      after that i need solar panels or to drive somewhere to charge.
      i have 2 all powers 60w panels that daisy chain up for about 85w of juice
      and a 400w inverter i clamp to car for a quick 1hr charge

  • Lyken on 31/01/2025 - 23:27

        The current sale price of AU $399 for the kit seems fair considering it has app control for adjusting voltages to

        suit your power station. If you have a stop start set up active on your vehicle, beware and check with auto-

        electrician first, or at least read one reviewer who mentions it almost killed his AMG battery, but who knows

        what went on there? Also the cable is not long enough for large dual cab utes, and you may want to also add 60A

        fuse or circuit breaker close to battery for safety too.

      Cheers I've updated the post, I'd say keep an eye in coming weeks their website does say another flash sale will on again.

  • Gomo on 01/02/2025 - 16:26

    Does anyone have any recommendations on solar matts to go with this kit?

    I do realise that you can buy Bluetti branded solar, but I'm sure cheaper alternatives exist, something 100w ~ 200w
