    They’re on sale right now for $649.
    I just bought two of them instead of the AC200. It has all the watts I need for input and output, so I didn’t need the extra watt output from the AC200. The storage is actually a tiny bit more with two of these than the AC200. That allows me to be charging one in the sun while I’m parked in the shade using the other one keeping my fridge cold. I’ll use the 420 watt fold up solar panel to keep them charged.

    I really want to like Bluetti but I've had THREE of their products go bad on me and was ghosted by them EACH TIME when trying to get them to honor their warranty. Disgusting customer service. It turns out it's apparently a regular thing for Bluetti to make warranty repair as difficult as possible. Don't take my word for it. You can easily google "Bluetti warranty problems " and you'll get post after post of their garbage customer service...unless you have a semi large youtube or social media...then they are quick as lighting to respond.

    That does look like a sweet size power station. That's wild it can charge that fast! In our group we have the EB3A, EB55 and AC200max. One trick we have done in our rigs is to duel charge them. Charge AC power with an inverter and then DC through a 12V port. But we boosted our 12V to 24V. Getting a combined 380watts into the EB55 so can charge that in under 90 minutes. Then we are getting 660watts into the AC200max. Not bad for vehicle charging and much better than the standard 100w most people do in their rigs. If you have any of the other Bluetti systems I highly recommend looking into duel charging them and adding a 24V booster wired up correctly.

    That looks a lot easier to carry than my ap200.
    I'm 5'1" and I got the ap200 because I THOUGHT I was gonna take it every where with me until I realized I can only lift it, but not carry it (e.g. carry and walk with it).
    So, wherever it ended up as a home base unit and does not travel with me because I do not have a man to carry heavy things for me.
    So, I opted out for eb70s because they stopped carrying the one that looks like a suitcase shape with 1000watts.
    I also have the eb55, but I needed more power, though I appreciate it for what it is.

    Thank you Matt for sharing the latest and greatest! I've said the same thing which was the missing mid size Bluetti. I believe a 1000 watt is the best all around size. For two reasons 1) Weight 2) Enough power with power in the bank (cloudy days). I also believe the benefit of 2 1000 watt units are you can use each for different systems plus have the convenience of easy to carry around and if one fails you still have power.
    We just picked up our second AC200 (MAX) for our Purpose Built Adventure Rig. While we could have built a Victron System it's still cheaper to just buy a all in one system. Cheaper, lighter and you can take it any place just like a boom box. 😂
    Bluetti just keeps pushing the offerings! I personally feel currently they're really #1 with EcoFlow right behind them.

      ​@ErvigHenry Never heard of them. After having an off brand powerstation which a company sent us and lasted 8 months. Nope! That company was non responsive after we had issues and I wasn't the only one. I'd rather spend a bit more money for a quilty product. Not saying what your suggestions isn't worth the $$$. I'm just not going to try to find out nor would I recommend something I've never used.
      Hope it works out well for you.
      I'll stick with name brand products with a good track record and strong warranty. That's why we only use and purchase powerstation from Bluetti. Up to 5 year warranty based on the model.

It does not check all the boxes for me but just as close as others in this size. I also would like other 12 VDC options on the out put side as well as a higher allowable DC input voltage as the ability to configure panels and wiring to actually reach 500 watts, within the 60 VDC range is tough.

    Great Video at a great time. I'm getting ready add a fridge and power station. I was going to go with a different brand because I was thinking the bluetti 70 would work most of the time but I would be worried about being close to running out on some trips. The 200max is way more than what I will ever need, why would I pay the cost for the 200max if I wasn't going to ever use all the power from it. To me, that would be a waste of money. If I get the 180, and for some reason down the road I needed more power, I will just pick up the battery pack for the 180. So now, I'm back to looking at the bluetti again. I will be watching for this. As for USB ports, you can never have enough. I'm looking to add 4 more permanent ones to my JK as soon as I come up with a way to add them and make them look like a factory install. Even my camp lights that are also a bug/mosquito light, only charge with USB. Thanks Matt. Great timing video for me!

    Here is a free piece of advice for your Bluetti (DONT THROW THE BOX OUT!) your going to need it! Shipping weight about 65lbs UPS shipping over $100 your cost - EVEN UNDER WARRANTY! Since nobody can fix it but them (Proprietary parts). Wait till the battery starts failing like a laptop, you know the meter says 95% - 5 hours left, and in 10 minutes it says 6% left charge battery or shut down. Me, Ill just put more gas in but not in near 10 minutes. How much will they charge you to replace that battery that didnt last as long as they said but its just outside the warranty period? You might as well buy a new unit, (If you havent learned your lesson) Ill just put a little fuel stabilizer in the gas, change the oil once a year maybe the air filter, possibly a spark plug every 10 years. It will probably run forever, if not - anybody local can fix it. Good luck with it

      The BLUETTI device has a MAJOR security vulnerability. The bluetooth is always enabled when the device is powered on and it is not secured by any authentication or prompt on the device. There is also no way to disable the bluetooth. This means that anyone can connect to the device using the app via the bluetooth interface and control the power station (turn on/off power). This becomes a vulnerability in that critical systems can be turned off, systems that are required for animals (automated feeding systems, fish tank aerators) can be affected putting the wellbeing and life of animals at risk, and at worst, any medical devices can be turned off with a risk to human life.

    Great review! Perfect size for many applications. Can it run a diesel heater via the 12V cig socket? Most diesel heaters have a 20amp fuse, and many of these power units only have 10amp 12v sockets. So my thinking, is the start up voltage for the heater will blow the 12v socket fuse? Your thoughts greatly appreciate.

    Can you do a test with induction cook? Test is meaning to use in camp for like a several days with this station and power your fridge. Then tell us your opinion about running like station and charging it as well.

    It’s a great product but they missed out on my purchase by not including true expandability (device can manage external battery). Yes, you can plug the b80 into it, buts it’s a one way power flow only. Hopefully they will come out with an ac180Max soon with true expandability.

    Hi Matt,
    Can you clarify the portion about charging via your inverter. Are you saying that you can use an AC to DC power supply to charge faster than just DC? Does that still work even though the inverter in your gladiator is not a pure sine wave inverter? And which charging brick would you reccomend for that? Thank you!

    I bought 2 ac18s. The only bad thing I have found is that they will not charge from my stock mopar 400 watt on board inverter that supplies 120 volts. I am sure it does not recognize the syne wave. My old EB70s with a brick charger will work so I have to take it along with the ac180 to charge it. I can plug the ac180 into the eb70 and it eventually will charge both using the stock 400 watt inverter. I could use the 12 volt cigarette socket but that would lake much longer.

  • @ericjenkins1909

    @ozarkoverlandadventures did you try charging it directly off your gladiator’s inverter without using the power brick, just the included cord? I saw another video that claimed it worked because of the grid smoothing mode, but doesn’t seem like many people are attempting/commenting on this and would trust you on it!

    I'll be buying one BUT one of my pet peeves is they put FOUR soon to be outdated usb-A and ONE C-type port. MacBooks, PC's, tablets, Androids, + the upcoming iPhone 15, ALL have moved on to USB C for power. Just One C port? So of all those devices, I can only power or charge one at a time while 4 old type A-ports sit idle. Duh. Nice unit tho. Nice review.

I have to be completely independent from power .. can I use this Bluetti AC 180 as a power source .. and cook for let's say 2 hours .. Should I use a solar panel while cooking .. I assume this would help or is it not necessary .. anyway Thanks for any info you can give me .. Grazie

    Great review, thankyou. Always thought it odd that Bluetti leaves off a zero in the name of the power stations considering their watt hr capacity. 200 max is 2000 watts hrs. 70s is 700 watt hours... It would be like a 20 can pack of soda being called a 2-pack. Not a big deal, just strange. Love the Bluetti products.

    Hey Matt, one thing you should test with these when you get a chance is the cold performance. I have an issue with my Bluetti EB70s, in colder mornings at camp (40-50 degrees and under) if I try to draw a decent load on it, like using my collapsible kettle, pulling 600-700 watts, the battery instantly goes to zero charge and stops working on me. It won't work until I put it on the charger for a while. I'm afraid to purchase something like this if it won't work in moderate cold temps.

    • @worldcomicsreview354
      @worldcomicsreview354 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      My AC200Max does the same on winter mornings, from 90-something to zero overnight. Apparently it's issues with the BMS reporting the battery level. I found the issue goes away if you just don't turn it off! I leave my DC outputs on all the time now, this prevents the unit from turning off, and seems to have a neglibile parasitic load (even my crappy, ill-placed solar setup negates it). Only turn the AC on when you need it, though!

      @@OzarkOverlandAdventures well, it is designed to do that because it’s a safety feature Lipo4 batteries can’t operate in freezing temps. My eb55 does this in super cold mornings. To prevent this I would recommend putting some reflective bubble wrap around it. If you know it’s going to be cold and problem solved also good for the battery health in general and should be done regardless. Also, this applies to keeping your battery in a very hot location (shed/car) you should not exceed 115°.

    • @OzarkOverlandAdventures

      1500w heaters aren’t going to last long on any power station. Even with the maxed out Bluetti you could only run two of them for a couple hours. Electric heat is horribly inefficient.
