            @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

          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

          • krisspy on 31/01/2025 - 11:32

            @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

              i didnt know !
              i thought the turbo, silent and the other one only applied to AC charging.
              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).

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

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

    • Sleepycat3 on 31/01/2025 - 11:26

      From ebay. It is a standard car socket to XT60 cable. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/186682286570

  • ThatGuyB3n on 31/01/2025 - 09:36

    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

        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

          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.

  • DJN on 31/01/2025 - 09:38

    Can this power a Resmed CPAP machine ?

    • Gomo on 31/01/2025 - 09:39

      Is the draw under 300w? If yes then it could indeed power it

    • krisspy on 31/01/2025 - 09:48
      +1

      Yes but probably not for long. Maybe around 4 hours if you got everything on the cpap (heater, humidifier)

      • 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.

        • FoxJump on 31/01/2025 - 10:07

          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

    • 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
        +1

        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
          +2

          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.

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

      They have been transparent about it though, so no need to post this comment in every thread - if you look on their website they clearly show they have 3 planned stages of their sale.

      It's horses for courses now, with ATL's:

      • FoxJump on 31/01/2025 - 11:17

        those 3 planned stages appear on every flash sale they have
        once the third "and final" planned stage finishes; a new three-stage sale appears soon after, starting at stage 1.

        it's starting to sound like their regular price now.

        • Ultraman on 31/01/2025 - 11:45

          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.

      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.

      • Ultraman on 31/01/2025 - 12:02

        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.
