@goodcitizen4587 thank you for watching and glad that you enjoyed the video! Yes, we have to find other means to save money. If there is a will, there is a way! Take care and have a blessed one!
Thank you for watching @captainkrunch6372! Wow! Sounds like that is quite the setup. You must get around 400 to 500 watts back into the unit. Enjoy your boat and life my friend and take care!
You can also get a 12v to 24v step up converter to increase the input. Or add a small 750w inverter to the add on battery and adjust the charge mode of the ac180 to silent so it only pulls like 350w and plug the ac180 charging cable to the inverter. Nice video!
Thank you for watching pt4826, and thank you for the suggestion! I wanted to omit the inverter not to have another source draining the battery. I am also going to make another video with 2 100ah batteries in series. Tha KS for watching!
Thank you for watching @djrtime 1398! That's a good portable size, and yes, you are under the 60-volt threshold. So it is up to 10 amps, but the state of charge on the Bluetti should be at around 50 percent to receive the full 10 amps. Maybe try draining the Bluetti and then try to recharge it back with the golf cart battery. 🤔
Look at there. I subscribed on the very first video I've seen of yours. This is what I have been looking for. I live on the Texas coast and we have hurricanes. After the hurricane. No power for days. Have to move downstairs into the garage. Big door more air. No power to garage. Bluetti AC70 needs help. Need to find electronics store for help and ideas. Thank you
Thank you very much, @markwalters1584, for being my first subscriber, and I truly appreciate you! I am glad that the video was able to help you make any decisions or give you ideas in any way. Wow, that sounds like a horrible experience for you. I pray that 🙏🏽 your situation gets better and that you are able to find what you need. Please feel free to reach out at any time and hope that I can help you in any way. Take care, and thanks for watching, and I truly appreciate you.
A few days ago I got an AC180, you showed how easy it is to use the battery to charge the power station, but is it possible to use the power station to charge the batteries back?
Thank you for watching voytek2099! I'm glad that you got the AC180 and glad that it helped. Yes, it is possible by utilizing the DC car adapter to alligator clips, thus using less energy than the inverter. This will charge at 12 volts with a 10 amp limit which would be at 120 watts. Much slower but will charge. Hope that this information helps. amzn.to/4fEFmjn
@randysmith3959 Hello randysmith3959, and thank you for watching! Yes, the DC7909 port supports up to 60VDC. Using a 24 volt Redodo battery would charge the Bluetti at around 250 watts estimated. It could vary, but it would be beneficial for you as you can have 2560wh (watt hours) in addition to the 1152 = 3712wh. Hope that this answers your question.
Hi, snakeye2669, and thank you for watching! I'm sorry but I don't understand. Are you referring to charging g the Redodo battery or charging the Bluetti using the Redodo? The Bluetti AC180 does not have an xt60 port, but it does have the DC7909 to XT60 Cable. You can charge either via solar, but this demonstration was to charge the Bluetti using any battery with battery terminals.
I have my AC180 connected permanently to 300 ah battery and I have 800 watts of solar panel connected to those batteries so everything stays charged up all the time, Rarely do I ever run anything that draws more than 100 watts so usually it keeps up, My 65 inch TV only draws 100 watts.
Thank you for watching and commenting, DabeSquibbSr! Wow! That's a great and amazing amount of solar! It would have been great to have that amount here, but sadly, in apartments, real estate is a luxury. I'm glad to know that the Bluetti keeps running with no issue. Take care, and thanks again.
Thank you for watching keithmcgee1253! Well, it depends on the TV. An LG 65 inch uses about an average 100 to 180 watts per hour. So if we did the math for that while getting the specs of the AC180, it's capacity is stated to be 1152Wh and if you divide that by an average 160, you get around 7.2 hours of use. Hope that answers your question.
Found a 24 Volt 100ah Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery on EBay for $323.00 Shipped Free with FedEx 5 year Warranty and have Ring Terminals to XT60 Plug for My Eco Flow EF3 Delta Pro 1300's and River 2 Pro as a Dry Backup Plan to extend Their Capacities at Night when Solar isn't available or during Stormy or Cloudy Weather.
Thank you for watching @1GREATDANE! That's a great price and great setup! Yes, you always have to keep a backup of a backup and, not to mention, a quicker method to recharge your system in the event of no solar. Hope that you enjoyed the video and thank you for commenting! Take care.
Now that these "tricks" are coming out on YT the manufactures are getting smarter. They are shutting down the outputs when charging from AC to prevent you from "daisy-chaining" or using other battery systems so they can sell their "battery systems". You can actually get a better output from adding 2 100AH LifePO4 batteries in series and use it in a 24V system. ( i see you said that while I was typing this). The manufactures are going to end up using connectors that are only usable to their units and communication cables. I actually hate my AC180, should've just spent more and got the AC200L.
Thank you for watching @tonyinfinity. I have been doing electrical work for years, and where there is an input, you can always find a way to utilize it, lol 😆. Unfortunately for them, every port that is generic or plug can be purchased and configured for their devices. Yes, I have two 12 volt 100ah batteries, and that is the next video. Connecting them in series to show everyone that it can be done with better performance. The greed of corporations is real, and those batteries that they sell are very pricey.
Thanks for this!
Thanks for watching AGilbert_81! You are very welcome and hope that you enjoyed the video! Take care!
That's a cool setup. A nice cheap power bank expansion.
@goodcitizen4587 thank you for watching and glad that you enjoyed the video! Yes, we have to find other means to save money. If there is a will, there is a way! Take care and have a blessed one!
I have the 180 for my boat refrigerator, and I've purchased 2 24v batteries to out in series for a 50vdc to recharge the 180, i use it on my boat.
Thank you for watching @captainkrunch6372! Wow! Sounds like that is quite the setup. You must get around 400 to 500 watts back into the unit. Enjoy your boat and life my friend and take care!
Good luck because my Bluetti failed on a fishing outing. Food spoiled and food poisoning. Squatting over the side of the boat was so much fun.
@leemobai762 Oh wow, i'm sorry to hear that. It was not a good experience for you, and I hope that you were able to get it repaired.
You can also get a 12v to 24v step up converter to increase the input. Or add a small 750w inverter to the add on battery and adjust the charge mode of the ac180 to silent so it only pulls like 350w and plug the ac180 charging cable to the inverter. Nice video!

I have a 48v 30ah lifepo4 golf cart battery. I’m under the 60v max allowance and although over amped , the ac180 should only pull 10 amps.

Hello, question. Could you use redodo 24v 100AH battery? The DC7909 supports multiple voltages right?
@randysmith3959 Hello randysmith3959, and thank you for watching! Yes, the DC7909 port supports up to 60VDC. Using a 24 volt Redodo battery would charge the Bluetti at around 250 watts estimated. It could vary, but it would be beneficial for you as you can have 2560wh (watt hours) in addition to the 1152 = 3712wh. Hope that this answers your question.
Could you just plug in the battery clamp with xt60 cable to the Bluetti's female xt60 port and charge Redodo battery with a mppt /w solar panels?
Hi, snakeye2669, and thank you for watching! I'm sorry but I don't understand. Are you referring to charging g the Redodo battery or charging the Bluetti using the Redodo?

Hi. Can you please tell me what gauge is cable from Bluetti DC7909 to MC4. Thank you
Thank you for watching Voytek2099! The cable is 16 gauge awg. Take care!
I’ve had nothing but problems with my Bluetti.
@@leemobai762 I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that they were able to honor the warranty exchange for you.

How long could the AC180 run a 65” tv?

Please show the Batteries in series just purchased 2 of these probably should have jus went with one SC200 max dang it
Already done, and thank you for watching! Please see my second video labeled 24 volts.
It’s currently $499.
Thank you for watching dennislove96! Indeed it is not to mention the sales going on at Amazon prime.
