- I review the features and demonstrate a compact, fast-charging portable power station. The Bluetti AC70. It's a good bet for anyone who doesn't need gobs of power when camping. Perfect for charging and powering electronics and appliances of less than 1000 watts.
Fair Disclosure: I received a review sample free of charge. I received no money and maintained full editorial control over the video content.

That was VERY helpful! So many talk about all the watts and volts etc and I get confused… but you told us and showed us and tested the actual application! And showed me how the screen and app work! Just so very helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great review on this smaller version of a Bluetti. This is probably something that would be useful for us in the future when we are out camping. 👍
I like your Bluetti reviews and the major brands that you do. I wish that you would list the foods that you cook in the Insta Pot with an inverter or power station, or do a video on it. I have three Bluetti products and I like them.
Good Job, I never use power lifting mode. Thanks!
Interesting to see that Bluetti has adopted a screen very similar to Ecoflow. I have both and never cared for the Bluetti screen and their inexact 20% bars.
Power stations have advanced quite a bit since I bought my Bluetti EB150 just a few years ago, same with the most recent LiPo 100 Ah batteries. I recently installed a Vatrer 100Ah with bluetooth in our travel trailer. Not having to buy shunts, extra wire and monitors has greatly simplified this type of upgrade from AGM batteries. I’m looking forward to similar performance increases in future solar panels. Thanks Ray, you produce very helpful videos.
Very positive review Ray - They go for ~750 CAD - As you say, they have come a long way! - Cheers!
Good review. I’ve been thinking about a small unit as a backup for the “just in case” situation & long time lapse photography .. I don’t need a big one at this point in time. Thank you for the review
Great review very helpful thank you.
Nice, Thank You !
Thanks again . 👍
You get such cool stuff for free. Where do you store all that stuff? Your rv must be full. Thanks Ray.
I can only keep so much so when I'm done with longer-term reviews, I sell it off at deep discounts or give it away for free to subscribers, people I meet, or friends.
I wonder how long you could run a cpap machine or two. Great review Ray. Cheers!
It's hard to say for sure as CPAP machine's power draw varies, especially if a person uses the heated humidifier. It also depends on whether the CPAP uses DC or AC power as the inverter part of the AC70 uses some power to convert battery power to AC power. But let's guess a CPAP at 50 watts draw. That could be roughly 12 hours, maybe a bit more run time.
Found this on the Jackery website:
How Many Watts Does A CPAP Use
Depending on the brand and model of your CPAP machine and the comfort features you have turned on. You may need a different quantity of power. A CPAP machine typically consumes 30 to 60 watts without a heated humidifier at a usual pressure level of 7 to 12 cm H2O. The power consumption of CPAP machines can reach 70-100 watts when heated humidifiers are used in higher-pressure settings. Although most models only offer waterless humidification, travel CPAP machines are significantly more efficient and usually provide therapy for just 5 to 20 watts.
I run my ResMed11 using a 12-volt adapter I got from Amazon. When camping I don't run the Humidifier but do put room temperature water in the reservoir.
Good day sir, I just recently discovered your channel, really enjoy the content. Specific to the Bluetti power station you just reviewed would this unit be suitable to plug in star link? I plan to be doing some extended cruise on board my 48 Tollycraft and just ordered my Star link, I will be working from the boat so power management is something i need to pay attention to. I thought something like the Bluetti might be a good option. Any thoughts you might have would be appreciated. Hope to run into you out on the water some day! All the best.
It will power it easily. My guess is you'd get about 12 hours Starlink run time out of a fully charged AC70. So would need maybe a couple hundred watts of solar to recoup over the course of a day. These are just rough calculations. We used the Starlink on our boat last summer and it worked great, we would turn it off and on as needed.
I always thought having a solar battery charge with solar panels not a gasoline generator. Doesn’t that kinda defeat solar charging. Why don’t you just use gas generator?
Most National, Provincial, and State Parks have limited generator running hours, usually two hours in the morning and two in the evening. You can't always count on getting good solar power due to clouds, fog, and tree canopy, so it's nice to have both options.
Good review- Thanks Ray!
We have an EcoFlow. Question: So when testing capacity, can you damage the product you’re testing? I’ve wanted to test the boost function but I’m concerned with damaging the component I’m using to test with. ie, blow dryer, Nespresso machine. Any concerns with that?
The lower voltage won't hurt resistive loads like a blow dryer, heater, stove element, etc. But anything with sensitive electronics is a small risk. Most have internal regulated power supplies that can handle low voltage like happens in a shore power brown out but you never can be totally sure about it. Most advanced RV surge protectors have low voltage cut-off set around 103 VAC, and I noticed this box went lower.
Good to know- thanks!
Hey Ray, I was wondering or wandering off topic a little bit. Do you use anything for your offgrid systems to protect from lightning strikes or panel flash overloads?
If you've already made a video on this could you link to it please?
I don't do anything special. My solar panel frames aren't grounded. They are all fused, and my wiring is fused, but one never knows with lightning. I don't really encounter lightning all the often. Not too often occurrence in the desert in the winter or on the coast. If I was going to be in a big lightning storm, I'd put rubber pads under my jacks or raise them and hook up the truck. The trailer is made from an aluminum frame, so it should be safe inside or waiting out in the truck. Cheers, Ray
@LoveYourRV I haven't run into too many problems with lighting either. Last year was the first time I had any at all. We had sheet lightning during the day associated with a fast moving cold front in the lower mainland. The flash from the lightning melted all my solar mc4 connectors, the mppt controller went into failure(then to manufactures default) no fuses or breakers tripped and the batteries (hybrid system) had no noticeable impact (except bms on lifepo4 reset to default). So, not a big problem to fix, just wondering how to prevent it in the future. One other note, I only had 400 watts tied to my 800(60 amp) mppt. I think the reason that the mppt controller and the bms were not damaged was due to the fact that the lead acids acted as a capacitive sink.
Could wire the panel metal frames together and then to a ground rod pounded into the earth away from the RV but that is kind of inconvenient unless you don't move much. The best you can do is try and direct the lightning path away from things and into the earth, but it doesn't mean it will work for sure; lightning is unpredictable.
