I have a question you may not be able to answer. From the users manual of your AC2A, solar charging is capped at 200 watts per hour and DC input voltage is limited to 12 to 28v. Looking at your app display you are 133 watt charging is at 28v. The Charger 1 is said to output over 500 watts at 10 amps. It looks as if your AC2A will never see 200 watts from the alternator Charger 1. Your system is only charging at 4.5 amps. 133w / 28v = 4.5a. Your cigarette socket charges better than that. Can you adjust the amp in the app to 7.1amps yielding 200 watts charging for your AC2A?
@@almostrvperfect6203 The AC2A has a turbo charge mode that you can turn on to get higher watts but I have not yet tried it. I will test it out and see how close it can get to 200watts.
@@almostrvperfect6203 There is a setting on the app if you want to go to 10amps or more but the settings for when selecting the model of the power station which is the AC2A probably is set to a lower amp that suitable for the AC2A I assume. I’ll try test that too next time. The charger 1 has so much function I have not yet tried. Any other things you think I should try?
@@JohnPhan1 I waited for 30mins and it actually turned off and my battery was still ok. I think it’s all in the mind. I’m sure bluetti’s top engineers have tested these out before releasing it.
@@4X4JUMPMAN you have 15 feet? Of unfused cable before reaching circuit breaker at charger. Breaker needs as close to car battery as possible. Could be a major problem
You can adjust the amps on the app to get more amps I just haven’t tested it to show on the video. I just showed that it works on my AC2A. At the end of the video there is a diagram that shows how capable it is with the bigger power stations at max of 560watts.
If you are going to showcase a product then you should showcase what it can do! I don't know why you would bother filming it when it was only outputting 130W. That's a minuscule improvement over the 100-110 W you get from the Rangers tub cig lighter outlet. I suspect the reason the video didn't show it doing 560W as it can deliver is because the AC2A is limited to 270W solar input, is this correct?

Can't wait to use it!!
Works so good 👌🏽
Looks like you could have come through the front of the bed of the Ranger. I think their is a gromet in the lower corner. Nice review.
Cheers mate 🤙🏾

@@4X4JUMPMAN OK ... The Charger 1 is supposed to charge at up to 10 amps. I was wonder why you only get 4.5? Thanks

Do I need a charger 1 for each AC500 or can I split the cable to both AC500.
I’m not sure if you can split them. You might have to charge them individually.
wow, its waterproof?
No it’s not. You need a roller shutter, a canopy or a tonneau cover if you want to put it on the tub.
Sorry but it has to be very tight! Mine came loose on fire roads! I actually used some thread lock to ensure it does not happen again.
Good idea..I just finish a 30min trail and mine stayed on. But if it does come off next time I will use your idea with the thread lock. 🤙🏾
So this thing is basically a DCDC charger.
@@bendigocamerahouse439 Yup with better function..The charger 1 incresaes the volts, amps and watts making it a fast charger.
am I the only one who's paranoid that there is no physical "kill-switch" on the charger itself??? yes trust the technology but ....

@@jtsterry I have 225 fuse and a 125 fuse as shown in the video on my battery.
@jtsterry you would need another fuse at the feed end
Bluetti says the circuit breaker in not suitable for under hood mounting because of the heat.
130w in. That is not even 10 amps. Your cigarette light output could output that.
You can adjust the amps on the app to get more amps I just haven’t tested it to show on the video. I just showed that it works on my AC2A. At the end of the video there is a diagram that shows how capable it is with the bigger power stations at max of 560watts.
@4X4JUMPMAN I think you mean increase V instead of A
@@jtsterry yeah the V increases
@@nascar427 use the app to adjust the voltage up to 56v, that will then give the max amps output.

Ecoflow alternator charger is better
