Im starting to look at these sort of batteries. It was a great couple of meals you've cooked. Battery life wise, it was expected. Personally, think its not worth it to lug all that weight unless you can replenish it quickly in very sunny days with 200w or better 400w solar. On its own, I feel that for meal cooking gas is where its at. With a 200gram canister I can cook 2 or 3 of those meals (a 400gr will do the breakfasts too) only requiring a ground stove weighting around 200gr. Saving the battery for non resistive items, ie electronics, seems preferable to me? ATB
Good stuff mate. Could you mention roughly how long you were cooking dinner for to have drained it 50%? Heavily considering getting one of these for our adventures. You've earnt a sub.
I just went back and checked my original footage and it took 28 minutes from start to finish. I'd recommend running the induction cooktop just on 600W as this will still get the pan hot enough and conserve the power - I started at 1000W and it was too hot. I'm also going to use a stainless steel pan with a heavier base next time which will retain the heat better and should also help the battery. I've tried a cast iron pan but it is too heavy and gets too hot and overheated the cooktop.
Good review - thanks. What if you turned down the induction cooker to lowest setting ie 600 watts? How long would it take to cook the meals (minus overcrowding the pan😊). I have steered away from the induction cooking due to the power draw. I run the eb3a mainly for the fridge with dc charging for my set up but did want to see if I can cook using it.
Yep I did end up turning it down to 600W and it worked fine. I'm not sure why the induction cooktop actually has the capacity to run at 2000W because you don't need it.
Hmm, 1Kw Bluetti ... I have a other brand, 2 Kwh and a inverter in it that can do 2.4 Kw. So I have always plenty of power left over. I charge it up with DC-DC from Victron also with 425 Watt. In my opinion you can better have more Kwh to use. ( btw My brand costs 990 € ) I use it for induction cooktop, lights in the car, coffee maker, laptop, fridge and Starlink-
Yeah there are plenty of options when it comes to size and AC output - bigger and smaller units. What I wanted to find out with the AC70 is whether the 1000W is enough to run the induction cooktop on a lower power setting (which it does) and how long the battery would last.

I just received my EB3A And I’m receiving my AC70 tomorrow with the 200 watts solar panel. Now I’ll never have to be without power again

Solar panels on the roof is part of the plan so I can keep it topped up
The AC inverter video link isn't in the description. Great vid though!
Thanks for letting me know - will fix.

What ac are you using ?
I installed the Renogy 1000W inverter - Watch the video here > ruclips.net/video/HPkcLZ3m-lE/видео.html
Did you sign the content agreement with Bluetti that Stefan Fischer has revealed?
No I've never signed any agreement like that and nor would I.
@ExpeditionAustralia Good on you mate, I'm glad to hear that
Hi, can i connect a clothes ironing on it?
Yes it should power your clothes iron
