Thanks for watching!
I’m a long haul trucker. I just purchased one (EB3A) a couple of days ago (before seeing your video). Thanks for making me feel much better about my purchase. I’m enjoying your videos. Thanks for what you are doing!
😂g g
Me too!
Stay safe on the roads out there
Mine shorted on on the 5th charge cycle
@@rtjlupolove66 Sorry to hear that.
Bob's 100% right. This is a great day trip power source or because of the ininterruptable power supply feature, is good for work at home folks to keep both your router and non gaming laptop going for at least 4 additional hours on top of the laptop's battery. Also great to power low power fans to keep you cool. Bob you hit this review out of the park. PS Bob, heads up , the 9 inch $30 Alpiaz usb fan can run off a plain old portable power bank for phones all night and this Bluetti even longer. Do a review on that fan. It's very quiet for light sleepers and pretty strong for a 9 inch fan. Great fan if power goes out.
As a battery backup / UPS this has lots of uses around a house or small / mobile office. From lighting, monitors, laptops, PC towers/desktops, CPAPs/APAPs, personal electronic cutters (Scan N Cut, Cricut, etc), fans, MyBook external USB hard drives (not the kind powered off USB), stereos, etc.
Going to look at that Fan also, will Probably but this Bluetti Thanks Bob so much
You've been bamboozled.😀😜
I got it for day trips for my laptop and phones. I think it's gonna be great.
I do camping primarily with no big appliances. I did my research and went to the Jackery site first, narrowed it down to 2 different units for my need and budget. Then went to Bluetti to compare and found the EB3A and what drew me in was the battery primarily and also the surge it could handle. It’s enroute and I hope to get it next week. Always nice to see a good review backing up my own research. Thanks!!
Jackery can no longer compete with bluetti and ecoflow.
Thank God, you didn’t get the Jackory. They make a good looking unit. Their website is nice and I have never understood how they can compete. I see people with Jackory’s. I think there’s someone who did not do the research.
Right on the money Bob. This is a great unit. Lately, with a little effort searching, you can find the EB3A for $199-$229.
I brought this one about a week ago, I love it. I also have the 2000w one. I absolutely love Bluetti
Regarding the inverter, I have succesfully ran the following from it: power drill with metal roof cutting tool attachment, corded weed eater, Makita power tool fast charger, iron, and coffee maker. The iron and coffee maker were run in power lifting mode. And of course computers and other electronics.
I have a Jackery 300 that I bought 2 years ago and love it. But if I were buying now, the EB3A would probably be the one to buy in that size/price range. Great review.
I also bought a Jackery 300 and it works ok. But now I own the EB3A and realize it is really better.
I'm so grateful for you Bob and this truthful assessment. I am completely NON-techy and trying to figure out the best solar gen for my budget has been very frustrating and time consuming. You answered all my questions in swoop :) Thanks!
I love my Bluetti!!! The power station with solar panels can charge things like a boss! I plug my 12v fridge into it when needed...and it does great. I have the 537w.
Hi Bob...Profoundly grateful for your input on the Bluetti compared to others. As a new van owner, my knowledge is limited. Minimalism for van living is great but not for how-to knowledge. You're my new mentor! 😃 Many thanks.
I purchased this last night after seeing a short video from you on Instagram. I have been contemplating buying a small one to have it sitting on the passenger side floor of my small van. I do have a large system in the back of my van that runs my fridge, ceiling fan & a few other items. It is located in a hard to reach area & so I wanted something easily available to me for phone, IPad, Watch & other smaller items. So when I saw this available & knowing the quality of Bluetti items, I immediately snagged one at the sale price, along with the $10 discount from seeing it offered through you. Looking forward to receiving it & using it during my travels. Thanks so much for giving us an overview of this new power system.
This really is an impressive product in its class. And you are so right, Bob, that good customer service matters a great deal!
The larger inverter is perfect for the little Dash cooking appliances like the toaster oven (550 watts), mini egg bite maker (420 watts), the mini waffle maker, mini "Bundt" maker or mini griddle maker (350 watts) which you will only use for a few minutes at a time.
At the price, it is competitive with other power stations with the same storage capacity.
What about a k-cup coffee machine?
@@maryannmirro513The built-in inverter is rated for 600 watts, a 1-cup Keurig is rated at 1425 watts. So, no.
I'm confused. How does it work if it is only 268w??
@@amyfreeze9772 The storage capacity is 268 watts. That is how much electricity the batteries hold. The Inverter is rated at 600 watt hours. That means it will use 600 watts in an hour, if you run it at full capacity.
Let's say you are using the Dash mini toaster over, which is rated a 550 watts, meaning it will use 550 watts in an hour. But it cooks a mini-pizza or something for you in about 6 minutes, or 1/10th of an hour (might be faster or slower, just picking easy numbers to work with). 550 divided by 10 equals 55, so it will have used 55 watts of stored electricity. If your EB3A power station started out fully charged, holding 268 stored watts, you would then have 213 stored watts of power left.
Of course, in the real world the numbers don't work out exactly like this, as quite often small appliances use a little less power than they are rated for when they are brand new and start to use more as they age, or sometimes use a teeny bit more than their rating because the manufacturer was sloppy. There is also a small amount of power lost in the inverter when it converts the battery power from DC (direct current) to 110 volts AC (alternating current).
@@amyfreeze9772It can be confusing! Think of the "268 watt hour" capacity as the size of your gas tank. If you had a skillet that consumed 268 watts per hour, you could run it for an hour (a bit less in reality, but let's keep it simple.) With the 268 watt hour gas tank, you could run two of those imaginary skillets for 30 minutes each. Or a 100 watt lamp for 2.68 hours. Play around with the numbers-it gets easier with practice.
Hi Bob. Thank you for your video on the Bluetti EB3A. Very informative. Purchased another brand, and returned today and then purchased the Bluetti EB3A today. Looking forward to using it. FYI... September 17,2023, Lowes in San Diego has for $210 + tax until 09/30/2023. I ordered on Amazon for $299.00 less a $90.00 coupon and free delivery. So it was $209 +tax. Thanks again Bob!

I have a Eb70 which I am very happy with. My only complaint is I did have to deal with customer service when I first got it. The number in Las Vegas was not answered and then I sent an email. The person receiving the email was in China so there was a delay in getting back to me in the USA. I wasn't aware there is an office in las Vegas. Bluetti also needs to make a better manual. The one I had was mostly unreadable. They need to hire a native speaker of English to write a better one. But all in all it is a great product.
Every unit has it's place and this one fits perfectly with first being a backup to a more powerful unit and a "wife can take it on short trips no problem" unit. I also see it as an emergency bug out in your vehicle battery. Charge it in your car while travelling using it to power a laptop and recharge phones or tablets. It also is small enough to fit and store in tight places.
Does great for the cooler style fridges. I have a setpowers fridge that draws 70watts while its on. Then while its off the solar generator can easily charge off a 100w folding solar panel no problems. I know you eat a full sized fridge but just for the people with the small fridges.
OK thanks. I thought for sure it could power a smaller portable refrigerator. I misunderstood him.
I'm in a minivan mood something small got it on order. I had two Jackerys and they died in under two years and paid $500! The Jankery heavy! Thank you for your help. ❤️❤️❤️
That's an amazing unit, Bob! Have been reading many positive recent reviews lately on that starter solar product because of its price tag.
Two years back you featured the Jackery 500 (518 Wh) on your channel. It was pricey but on sale thru your channel. I also purchased (on 8/29/19) their double solar panel suitcase featured with the product at the time. All told I spent exactly $399.98 for power station & $299.49 for solar panels, totaling $697.47. Fortunately it came with a 2 yr warranty and I was just under the wire when I noticed it was no longer charging. Honestly, It had been used on a few car camping trips and as an hurricane backup power station for small electronics(cell, laptops, fan etc) during occasional power outages here in Florida. The folks at both Amazon and Jackery were fantastic. They did exactly what you said the Bluetti and other caring manufacturers normally do...they told me to dispose of the failed unit responsibly (take it to the dump or find someone who is into solar, etc. and wants to fool with it as they could not ship repair parts...I had an inventor friend of mine take it apart and he was able to identify the problem area, so were were trying to fix it and not waste something that was in mint condition!) Within a few days of filing my claim I received a new unit via UPS. THAT IS STELLAR CUSTOMER SERVICE. I wholeheartedly recommend Jackery. Thanks much for these great vids. They are a help to many including me!
Loving regards to you and all the HOWA folks.
I've been wanting to add to my minivan camper, this was a great review! I'm excited to see this is within my budget! I can't wait to get this little gem! I travel often between Florida and Indiana, traveling with my 5 chihuahuas. Therefore I generally choose to camp in state parks rather than hotels. Thanks for all you do!
Total newbie, haven't camped in decades, 1 week now thinking about full time nomad Fall 2023. Have a Mazda CX-30, have to determine if space is enough for a comfy bed and all needs. This video was extremely useful to keep cycles and features in mind, Jackery was so often featured on other channels so you may have spared me an expensive mistake in longevity. Will need to consider cooler vs fridge too. Watched your poop video too, lots to learn! Thanks a million! Such a great channel.
I got the ac200max... absolutely am a supporter of Bluetti. Had for almost a year and works flawlessly.
How big of an upgrade is it from AC200P?
Im thinking of getting either AC200Max or Anker 757..
@@xdean it allows you to add more battery storage, that I believe that is the biggest difference.
I have a similar 600 W solar inverter now, but I am very interested in getting one of the Bluetti 2000 Watt amp hours or whatever it is. You can tell I'm still a solar newbie. I love the 600 W OUPES because it does everything I need it to do for daily life except for keeping my refrigerators going. NOW I want one that will keep my fridges going. As always, thank you Bob.
yea I want one for fith wheel to run my air condition n heater for winter
@@irenealvarado3494 mine would be for the two refrigerators and a small freezer. I have individual solar lights and solutions for other things except cooling and heating. I will probably wind up owning three 2,000 watt Bluetti boxes...
Utah Jeff …. Here ….I purchased 2 Oupes 600 power stations about 6 months ago and one has failed …. Working with Oupes warranty department…. 2 year warranty….has been a nightmare….all they do is send me robot emails …trying to get this solved through Amazon has not been easy either …. I have been working on this for 30 days now….I will go with a different brand next time …. I like that Bluetti is based out of Nevada …..worst case I can drive there on one of my adventures
I just received a refurbished EB3A this week from ebay for $150. They come with a 2 yr warranty vs. a 3 yr for new. Outstanding product from what I can tell. I did have some concerns when I was trying to charge some small Lucy light devices because the USB-A was not registering an output on the meter, though the USB-C registered fine when charging my phone, as did all of the other ports. I called customer service today, Sunday, and a young lady helped me very well informing me the small draw from the Lucy lights was probably not enough to show on the meter. I was able to confirm that by finding these little camp lights had indeed been charged up fully. I received the AC plug and the solar plug then ordered the car plug from Bluetti for $10. Thanks for the review Bob.
Picked up one of these refurbished off the Bluetti site for $139 ($150 with taxes.) Works well. The app just crashes if I try to do anything other than just view the status. Others have complained about the issue. It works but it is noisy. There is a whine out of the unit that seems related to the fan (sounds like coil whine, not the blades.)
Don't use the wireless charging as I don't have an expensive phone but USB C charges it fast. I use it now to power my PC as a UPS and charge my phone. Runs my low-power PC for almost 5 hours.
For the price it is a great deal and at the refurbished price, cheaper than a decent UPS.
I just ordered one Bob. Amazon had a $90 off coupon. Thank you.
You video has greatly feel better about purchasing. I’m just getting started (semi nomadic) and was hesitant to buy a larger unit until I was sure about what I needed. I have looked at other videos with a larger unit ponytail to a smaller unit to serve my needs later on.
At the price point it seems a great starter unit.
Even if you plan on upgrading down the road this will be great to have as a backup for your energy needs.
I think if the EB3A has the option to attacg an extra battery if would have been a game changer.
white it wouldnt be the same you could charge the unit through the solar input 12-28 volts using another battery. I assume it would clip the charge at 200 watts
why not get a bigger unit that has a bigger battery?
Thanks Bob, I just spent $ 80.00 on a new (free) phone. Samsung has a new size charger input. With the featured Bluetti I will be able to charge, no problem. Many more nice features. Thank You Bob.
I got this on prime day for like $185. I just need something for camping occasionally and occasional black outs at my Summer cottage to run my laptop and charge my phone. I was going to buy a Jackery but after watching several of your recent vids I went with this one. My next one would be larger maybe the new model
Good morning Bob......Another great informative review.
These reviews on power stations are helpful for me. I am a senior and am on
social security as of this month and looking to transition from car living to hopefully getting into a van of some kind. Love these space saving power stations
but i would need something to power a 30-36 qt frig. What would you recommend in the Bluetti line. I feel from your many reviews that, I'll get the biggest bang for my buck, and it's also senior friendly.....Hey Bob. Thank you for all your hard work. We "all" really benefit from it.
I love how you covered the reason I was looking into this device, running fridge/cooler lol. Thanks Bob.
I bought one at the summer sale that Bluetti had this last summer for $209. At 72 degrees it ran my 45 quart Alpincool for 18 hours. Last fall Amazon had a sale on it for around the same price and I bought another one. So while one is charging the other one is at work. I like the size and I figure if you need more power you should build a component solar system which I have done.
That sounds pretty impressive and what I'd want. Bob seemed to suggest it couldn't do that, but I may have misunderstood him. Anyway thanks. I couldn't find anyone that specifically talked about using a portable refrigerator on it.
Great review Bob! When we are able to buy one of these….. bluetti is the only 1 we will buy. Bigger as you identify here but still bluetti. LUCRETIA
I have a Jackery 1000 that I like a lot, but I live in Canada and I just noticed that they are selling this unit for $299 CDN on Amazon and they are currently offering a $120 off coupon. That seems like a really good deal so I ordered one. It is expected to arrive in a week or so and I'm really looking forward to giving it a try. Thank you for this video.
Customer service is outsourced. I bought a unit and no power cords came. Lady at customer service spoke poop about me to her male co worker not knowing I spoke the language. Gave me no solutions and hung up on me when I called her out. No one picked up after multiple call backs.
Great to see you Bob. Thanks for your honesty again. I meant to tell you if you haven’t already, get a tire plug kit and air pump or small compressor along with a strap and small come along, unless you have a electric wench, for your side by side. None of us ever want you to be stranded and not prepared to remedy the situation. Take care. 👍🙏😎✌️
This was a really good video, Bob. Very information dense, in simple form w/o talking over my head into the land where I zone out cuz I have no idea of all the jargon being used. As I inch towards embarking on (part time) van life, I'm starting to make lists of goods I'll be buying. I think this little unit makes the list!
Looks perfect for me right now. I'm not on the road yet. Looking for a van.
Here in Hurricane country tho, so just to be able to keep phone charged be great.
Being very conservative with spending savings now too. Thanks Bob !
Thanks Bob for your thorough and unbiased reviews
Hey Bob, great review. I love your videos. One thing you might want to mention next time when talking about a uninterruptible power supply is using a computer might be a better example if when you are running your computer plugged in through the blue Eddie if you have a power outage Then there’s no interruption in power to the computer so the computer won’t shut off and you won’t lose data that’s where the uninterruptible part comes in and that’s extremely important when working with computers and what not. And this is in Kim and can be very new wants feature. Some companies will advertise. They have it but the switch over is not quick enough. Generally it needs to be 10 ms are less so all those some batteries can power devices through them. If there was a power outage, the battery would not kick in fast enough to prevent so your computer blinking off and you’re losing all your unsaved data.
I like this unit already....very neat and complete, the app is a big plus....!!!!
Thank you for another great video. This would be perfect for our use. Currently when we travel, 2 of our vehicles are older and do not have a 110 plug. The vehicle that does have 110 plugs, they can only be used when the engine is on. We have minimum power needs, but being able to plug a 110 device in with out turning the vehicle on would be wonderful. We currently use 2 20,000mAh battery packs, USB charging only. My smart phone is so old it does not have the ability to wirelessly charge, but we are replacing it on my birthday.... hmm, maybe I could get the EB3A and a new or refurbished newer Smartphone. Thank you for taking the time to produce this video, it has brought new options to our attention.
they have wireless adapters for old phones , it plugs into your usb port and you just place it on the wireless base .
Looks great for what it is, but I'll need a bigger battery. You should go ahead a become an affiliate, no one worth worrying about doubts your integrity.
I usually say it's the ecoflow River with lifepo4, wireless charging and less power (just a bit). The ecoflow trailblazer with these features.
Thanks bob for the review of the EB3A but I find it odd that this one performs exactly like the Ecoflow River.
Only the River isn’t LiFePo. (I have 5 Ecoflow products and 3 are).
I’ve had the Baldr 330 watt/297 wh power station for about 2 years now. It certainly compares to the one you are showing, although not quite as good.
Maybe you should look into Baldr.
But the one you displayed will definitely be my next purchase in the next year!
The key question is your unit Lithium ion batteries or LiFePo4 batteries. Lithium Ion is only good for about 500 charges before the batteries start losing the ability to charge and hold power. Does not die instantly but greatly reduced and degrades fast. LiFePo4 batteries are rated at 2500+ charge cycles and often exceed 3000. That is a big difference in the product life. Plus this unit is so much faster charging that any I have seen.
@@markpashia7067 Thanks for explaining that a little bit more.
The smaller power stations like that are not going to run your house but they are absolutely perfect for running 5 Watt and 10 Watt LED light bulbs, USB fans and things of that sort, they last for days with small things like that.
Exactly! have a little 150 a jackery 200 and just got this one.
storms. hurricanes. etc. I can charge anything and run small tv and usb fan for hrs.
Tiny battery bank! Very nice for backup system
People need to understand what they're really getting though. A 50 dollar car battery has double the capacity. Now you do get a small sign wave inverter, a light, lots of charge ports, a nice charge controller with lots of options and a monitor, all in a neat package, and that's why I bought it, but it has a really small battery. It will barely run a 12volt cooler by itself. And that's if you have a really efficient cooler that isn't opened that often. And if you have one day without much sun, it won't make it to the next day. So plan on adding some batteries to it. I have two 48 amp hour car batteries added to mine, and I can go days without sun. I almost really splurged and bought the AC180 so I could run a microwave and other appliances at my cabin when I get it finished, but I can always just buy a bigger inverter and a few more batteries for less money to handle that load.
These are on sale now from Bluetti for $209. Your review gave me the added impetus to go ahead and buy it. Did not get the 200w solar panels yet. Considering other options due to $500 price and don't think I need it yet. (Not nomadic yet.)
I'm about to order mine for $209 I discovered the price this morning I was happy as well
Same. Think I will ladder up, as I stay out. If it doesn't work for me, didn't spend a bunch! Enjoy out there!
This unit is now for sale here in South Africa with our style of plugs....great deal.
Ordered one 3 days ago and it finally shipped! They said they are also (for free) sending me a MC4 to DC7909 cable as well. These normally don't come with them I've heard. Just the A/C plug. LOVE that new display! I already have an EB70!
That solar input plug is the same for this unit and the EB70 so good deal.
I purchased the bundle EB3A with the PV120 solar panel June 18th but still have not received the cable to charge with the solar panel. It seems to me if they are going to sell a bundle it should be all inclusive.
@@DavidSmith-fb4vh I received my solar cable for my EB3A yesterday. Via first class mail. So they are shipping them.
Just ordered this after Black Friday sale on Amazon and wasn’t able to shop during Black Friday had too wait for payday but I finally got it ordered today. Wish I had known about this one before I started ordering Electric Generators. I first ordered the Dengawa 250 watt hour and 250 watt power 67,500 mAh battery power station on Amazon on sale with discounts on the 40 watt solar panel kit included with it which it alone charges other small devices too which is cool and I paid around $110 for the Bundle that’s originally $250 for the whole kit and I love it even though it’s just a regular pure sine wave 1000 Full charge cycles too 80% capacity it’s still great and it’s ran many things for days as I tested it out on many things I needed test on when I do finally go the van life deal. But it’s wall
Charger sucks at 8 too 9 hours too charge. But it’s still good and gave it a good review and they gave me a huge discount on buying another one so I did and got another one for $65. Then I ordered a SinKue G300 pure sine wave 70,000 mAh battery at 260 watt hours and 300 watt inverter but again tbe regular lithium batteries at 1,000 full charge cycles at 80% capacity again. Got this Power station a few days later after the other ones when I saw it on a good sale on Amazon and I saw it telling you the watts input and output stats which I loved. Very much needed too know that info that the other ones don’t do. Got it on sale for $141 and it’s $200 original price and then again I see many videos of this one in the video the Bluetti and it’s on sale with a $90 off coupon on Amazon for prime members and makes it basically $210 and that’s a steal for this one and it’s a 600 watt inverter and will surge up too 1,200 watts and a 268 watt hour battery that charges in a hour where as the other ones I have are good don’t get me wrong but they all take hours and hours too charge by wall outlet but work great for me so far other than slow as Moses wall charging. Also the Bluetti will do 2,500 Full charge cycles by what it says in its Amazon description so I don’t know where the 3,500 full charge claim comes from but I like that this one doesn’t come with a power brick and it’s built in and just so much better. Had I known about this one first I’d of just bought 2 or 3 of these on sale instead of the other ones I got but I like the other ones too their still all good and I got them cheap so I’ll keep them unless I see issues then it’s returning they go and then getting another one of these bluetti’s and I like that this one tells you all the stats on watts and has a app with it too and the others I have don’t have that. Also the Bluetti tells you battery percentage by numbers unlike the other ones I have which are bars and I don’t like that I like to know the exact battery % I have left like by number % too be exact not guessing by bars like the others. But overall I think I’ll be set on electricity in cars, vans even a rv or if the power goes out in my house. Bluetti is soon gonna be on its way too and I can’t wait too start playing around with testing it too lol. I’m addicted too these small power stations I think I need electric generator rehab lol.
Getting ready to become a nomad, and really enjoy your videos and the information is very valuable. Thanks Bob
It can run a full size fridge for 6 hours straight of the unit without solar or plugged in to ac.
Just bought mine! Thank you for a great review!
Wife ordered today! Happy Anniversary to us! Thanks Bob
9:56 here’s a proper explanation of UPS: if mains power goes down then your device will automatically start drawing power from the power station so that its operation is uninterrupted.
Forget ‘fans’ the real application for UPS is with computers e.g. if there’s a blackout then an external hard drive attached to your computer may get damaged by not having been shutdown properly resulting in you potentially losing data.
UPS prevents this data loss because the computer and drive continue operation during a blackout giving you plenty of time to manually shutdown your computer safely.
The UPS function of this Bluetti is only half-baked. In a full-function UPS device, there’ll be an Ethernet or USB connection to the computer that tells the computer when there’s a blackout so that the computer can shut itself off automatically before the battery runs out. So if you’re not around when the black out happens, then your data will be safe.
I'm sold. Thanks for the review.
boggles my mind that Jackery doesn't do LifePo4 batteries! Not smart! Just bought another Bluetti and love it!
I ordered this unit mainly to use in my Prius to run a 12v fridge. It will eventually be paired with a roof mounted solar panel to help keep it charged. Hopefully the EB3A will be adequate for my needs. It looks like a great little power station.
what 12v fridge did you pick up? Please let us know how it goes!
@adrian resendez ..For sure, let us know how it goes powering the fridge because I probably won't get a jackery or a bluetti if it doesn't run a fridge. Thank you 😊
did it run the fridge? which model?
Why do you need it? Why aren’t you running the fridge off the car battery?
Status check? This is why I bought it. I'm going to run my fridge in eco mode.
Thank you Bob, great review on this unit. I'm looking to fitting this into my budget.🦋
I just got the bluetti eb70 so I can charge my powerchair on the road!
Hobo tech says it will run a small fridge for 24 hours , and you can charge and use at the same time , even dual charge , ac/solar or dc/solar , so you could keep a fridge running continuously
Yes Sir,
I bought one in 800wats for 2 weeks ago for my Van. camping- hunting and tales

Thank you for taking time to do this.
We are in a van and are going to look at purchasing this. We think it will run our small electrical heater, as well as other things and we don’t have a fridge, we use ice chest.
It most definitely won't run a heater. Even if you had one small enough to run on 600 watts it would only do so for about thirty minutes before the batteries were enpty.
Get the 70s
Bob,
Thanks for this video. This size coulb be go for camping. Just to keep your electronic devices charged, to plug the air blower to fill the air matresses. Maybe keep or recharge some lights, etc.
I'm looking also the ecoflow. Thanks for pointing out the life cicles of the batteries. The Jackery was not in my radar but I assumed all of solar power stations had the same tech in terms of rechargeable internal batteries.
I appreciate this vlog's info a year later.
Bob. Just bought this one. get it in 8 days. good sale at Bluetti until 7/31/22 this is a great addition for portability. have a 200w panel.
thankyou bob for your honesty .i have so much trust in you .we are your tribe for sure .count me in your tribe .lol
Great unit I recommend it to a friend, she bought one, was very disappointed when it didn't come with a 12v cigarette lighter charger cord
My eb55 came with one. Check paperwork and see if it was missed in shipping
From watching this . I think this would be good one to use for my tiny house teardrop push camper. Cause what I plan on doing is I like to make a teardrop camper that homeless could either push or tow with a bicycle. I plan on building something for the homeless when my RUclips channel gets bigger and I have the money to do so. Cause I'm always shopping around looking for something that be perfect for small space that can power some lights and charge a basic cellphone and run small portable TV.
This is a great idea. And that's nice of you to help the homeless ❤️🧡
@@TheVegan15 thanks.
Since that thing is so cheap, and 200W solar panels are very cheap too, this seems like a really good lightweight option, and good for a lot!
Thank you for this review and introducing this compact Bluetti.
Wish you Happy Father's Day also. Hope you and your colleagues are doing well =)
JUST GOT ONE! SWEET LITTLE BATTERY .
Ty for the review. I have the 200p. It's heavy. I might add this one to have a portable system. The connectors would be interchangeable and same brand
BTW: The EB3a is powerful enough to charge an Lectric Bike battery (verified by Lectric)! Yay! Lectric said a 350 watt inverter is necessary, so the EB3a with it's 600watt pure sine inverter will do that!
Try reviewing the Bluetti AC200Max. It has a NEMA-30TT standard RV receptacle built in. I think you'd have a new favorite.
New subscriber here from Australia,I have just ordered this product,and loved your video….
This is the best review on this out there.
I'm not on the road just yet, but it sounds like it would be perfect for my needs and budget.
Great video. I learned a lot.
I have wanted an emergency solar power station for years. What I need and want is a videos(s) on "Understanding portable solar power stations for the technically impaired". I am a good darn nurse but I need and want to understand what and why to buy and how to manage it for my emergency needs. PLZ, give me your recommendations.
I had no idea my original Jackery used a diff battery tech that doesn't last nearly as long. (Lithium Ion vs Lithium Iron Phosphate) It's only advantage is charging in very cold conditions. Although everyone loves wireless charging, it is more efficient to plug your phone in for charging.
I just pick one up during prime day for 239.00 to run my wifi at home or my bougeRV 12 volt frige when i go camping with a 100 watt solar panel, just trying to be ahead of the game if something happens
Good video buddy very informative thanks Eric!
You and Brian make a good duo. I hope you are able to have more free time.
Hi Bob, thanks so much for the info! Sounds like something I should look into.
Please be aware that this product has a 24v battery to get the high charge rate and therefor has less 12v capacity due to conversion losses.
Awwwwwweeeeeesssssooooommmmeeeeeee bob you are the best. If i had time to watch you and cody for one dsy of 12 or 14 hrs. I would. Your videos is super and very interesting in all the information you give. Thank you for all your help and time. You are a true friend. A wonderful man. And a super dad and brother. You are family to us nomad wannabes and regular nomads. Happy fathers day to you bob and brian and everyone. Love you all. Im a nomad wannabe for 4 yrs. Now. Certain reasons i cant. Money job and husband in this order plus a medium small s.s.check. a dream van. A kinda big one for 2 people with plenty of room for us. I woul definately buy bluetti power station. Possibly the biggest one. I have a plan dream. I already have the van built in mind. It would probably cost 50.000.00. Its only a dream tho. I would live in it permantly for life. Been in stinking apts. For 47 yrs. Im tired. Thank you all.
Love your videos! Thank you, Bob!😊👍
Just ordered one. $60 off on Amazon.
Thanks for the review. My Jackery 240 is still working great.
I also have a brand called Joyzis (?) I got from Amazon. 300ah battery and $290. It has the wireless charger on the top. Amazon has a $90 coupon, so it’s $200 bucks right now. Please note, the first one I got was broken. Amazon sent me a new one.
Also: Those little lunch coolers ($15 on Amazon) fit these battery’s great for storage & protection.
I just got one for $179 on Ebay sold by Bluetti as a refurbished item by them.
Thank you for the review. Very nice unit.
Nice review, this is my next purchase. Your "puke green" ambulance is very camo/stealthy.
I have a flashfish g300 unit,as backup for aquarium pump when we have electric outage,the flashfish only lasted 23 months before battery does not hold a charge.I am thinking about buying the eb3a,I hope with the Lifep04 battery I will get more life out of the unit.I am staying away from off brands,they probably use cheap batteries.
with the your new Champion dualFuel generator you could charge it in maybe an hour. Thus the generator can be used to prepare your batteries in the early evenings and be ready for over night without fumes.
Just sub'd! Hi Bob!!! I can't wait to go through it and see what I can learn. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
