you didn't mention while charging if it prefers AC or solar, or does both? you also didn't mention if you could charge it via solar and run a AC or DC load at the same time. most would assume that you can do this, but not all allow you to do this. also when you had the AC going and it plugged in via AC did you notice if it was still charging, or was it discharging? reason is it looked like the AC was pulling more power than it was getting charged at via the AC plug. or was it switching the load like a UPS function?
It'll charge from both, so 500w for solar, and 400w from AC for total of 900w. Yeah it does not switch the load like UPS function. It only charges at normal rate either 400w from AC, 500w from PV or combined for 900w while powering the AC load. Thanks
It’s solar input range isn’t the greatest at a max of 70 volts but that’s roughly equivalent to the Ecoflow and Bluettis of this size….but 500W on a 1500Wh battery is pretty decent too. And seeing that it will actually pull in 530+ is even better. Most units need at least 4 hours to charge on solar, this could do 3 hours. At the price point these things are a banging deal. Also check out the AceVolt/Grecell/FFPower 2000W models. I think some of those might be a 2000Wh battery. You can find them for $900 or so if you search hard enough.
@@ericklein5097 the reviews ive seen lately the max voltage is 60 volts on some of the bigger Bluetti. So its a little better in trying to make a small solar array work for ya.
If you can get 500 watts of solar into this it could power a small air conditioner on a sunny day. My Frigidaire only draws 400w max. My 300ah Ampere Time battery runs it a long time.
On a regulated DC output it doesn’t matter if you use a 2 wire discharger since you’re just going until the BMS trips right? Do you know if the converter is a buck, boost, or buck/boost?
1427/1500 leads me to believe it’s a 4S NMC pack and the converter is a buck only just based on the efficiency. Otherwise it’s a super efficient buck boost that helps bring the voltage up at the very very end of the discharge curve. Not knowing the voltage range that this thing uses also means I’m making a lot of assumptions. How do you feel about a 2000W inverter on a 1.5kwh battery? I guess without knowing the cell model used I’m making another assumption in assuming a 1.3C discharge on the cells might be a bit of a workout for them. Most cells support up to 2C just fine and even the 3500mAh 18650’s support 3C as a max continuous. I’m just not a big fan of pushing cells over 1C discharge for the sake of cycle life
@@ericklein5097 I think it's a 6s NMC pack, and the converter is buck. Most of these power stations are higher voltage because of the efficiency that brings.
I got one a few weeks ago as it was only 700 Canadian with coupon. Mine also showed charging at 100% for a while and the watt input rate slowly dropped which means the Percent charge is not that accuarate. For the price paid I am happy with it so far but still doing testing
It is not bad based on this review but not as good as I would want it to be. I do not like that it shares the input and output wattage, so it only tells you the difference. Not sure if it has a ups function or if it just lets you charge and discharge at the same time. Also, slow ac charging if 340 watts is the best it takes in from ac power. Not sure if it takes more. Not bad on the solar side at 500 watts. I am not sure what the solar input voltage is. I think it uses lithium ion NMC batteries, but I did not see it listed on the amazon page. Just based on the amazon reviews I would not buy it. Seems like too many people have issues with them. As a rule, I do not buy anything with less than 75% 5-star reviews.
BRAD - can you please test this or another power stations with your crypto mining rig - how long can run mining rig on these power stations please??? Can you make another video? Crypto miners are thirsty for such free electricity stations from Sun and wish to know the best results!!
I'd also be very interested in more crypto mining videos if you get a chance. That's the main reason I started watching your channel and it has been superb content!!@@BradCagle

Any chance you’d do a full tear down so we can see the cells and the construction of the MPPT, inverter and BMS?

Great job, I'd like to see a review of the Bluetti. Hopefully, you get one from them.
Thanks! I actually have one coming from Bluetti :)
@@BradCagle you're taking off 🚀
@@Roll2Videos Thanks, now If I could catch a break, and get a good nights sleep. Hah!
Brad Like you said it seems to handle the solar well. Thats the only reason i would have to buy a power station.
It’s solar input range isn’t the greatest at a max of 70 volts but that’s roughly equivalent to the Ecoflow and Bluettis of this size….but 500W on a 1500Wh battery is pretty decent too.

Bourerv is coming out with a 2000watt it can receive upto 1500watts of solar. Blueetti has 2 200units. 1 can receive 700 the other 900watts
I was wondering if it would run a fridge.

Alrighty I'll try to get around to it soon. I have a backlog of stuff ATM

@@gregoryerickson8233 Thanks guys! I'll get you some more crypto content. Hang tight :)
Idk… but the ground up opening just looks wrong to me.
That is a little strange. Not sure why they did that.
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
