I agree with you when the units are in parallel and the user requests 120V A/C both of the two units should work as a team and all the stored DC battery reserves from both of the two units should work together as a team and deplete their DC reserves as a team. But they don't. Your statement that its only when both units are in parallel and the user requests 240V A/C that the two unites work as a team and deplete their DC reserves together in tandem is how they should also be designed to function when both unites are placed in parallel and the user is requesting 120V A/C. The displays not showing "time remaining" is unacceptable. Humans equate with the unit of measure called "time" not the unit of measure "percent". I like how you mentioned using a gasoline generator to input (charge) these energy storage devices. I call that technique "hybrid mode" and prefer it to solar generator mode. Those two units' total cost along with a gasoline generator (hybrid mode) or using the solar panels is getting darn close to 1/2 the cost including installation of an entire home back up LP fueled generator that can supply an entire home! Of course, you can't go camping with the LP fueled entire home backup generator, but I don't think these two Bluetti's or Eco Flows are designed to be used for mobile camping.
Thanks Dan
Well said and explained.💯👍🏾
I agree very unacceptable
That's simply not possible, given that the units are connected only at the output side of each invertor. When you have it setup to deliver 240v and you have a load that uses only 120v you're drawing from one phase, off one battery.
To have it the way you describe would require the battery power to be pooled before the connection to the invertors.
Bluetti has one of the most attractive enclosures I've seen. Great design! Good constructive criticism about the merging of the two units when connected together. Great review as always, thank you for your effort.
Agreed!!!💯👍🏾
I agree, Bluetti has done a great job with their design! The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series is also a fantastic option for outdoor enthusiasts and RV owners. It offers massive capacity, super fast recharging, and comprehensive protections. Plus, its smart app control feature is really convenient. Both brands provide quality options for home backup power. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
This is the future! Great job as usual.
Thanks 😊
For over a year Bluetti touts the strong microprocessor and online updates. They should be able to combine the battery power drain from both units to power one or more loads through the combiner box. Reviewers who plugged the introduction weren’t often given two units and the box for testing and comments. So you are one of the few if not the first to present connection and use of the combiner box on RUclips.
It shouldn’t be hard to test your hypothesis to find out whether or not the drain of only one EP 500’s battery (both standard and pro units?) will complete to its lowest limited discharge parameter before the system switches to begin drawing from the other EP 500 (std/pro). Since the full (2x2000W-std, or 2x3000W-pro) inverter output is supposed to be delivered through the combiner box, I agree that you would think that batteries would not be draining sequentially. Any option for simultaneous drainage would synchronize and reduce the rate of discharge for each battery. (I wonder how Eco-Flo handles that when two battery packs are combined and placed under load from different starting charge levels?)
What if you use the charge and discharge limitation setting to vary the maximum AC charge to 80% on both batteries or to an unequal percentage?Likewise, what if you set parameters differently on the maximum allowed % of discharge limitation? What if the limitation is 90% on one battery for maximum charge and 70% on the other, limiting discharge to 30% on the first battery and 20% on the second battery? Does the passive battery drain before the master?
How will the system handle such instructions? Or will the system use the limit settings on the unit designated as master to control the passive unit?
I think it isn’t possible for each EP 500 even with the split phase combiner to allow charging from a single solar string simultaneously into both batteries. If that’s the case with solar, each pack will likely be charged to a different % of capacity since the two solar strings aren’t likely to output equally.
Have you had any experience with different performance or features following an update?
It would be neat if you could do a 110/220V load and capacity test on your split-phase combination system.
I hope you can build your channel with such an informative and instructional approach as you are taking here. For owners or potential buyers of these units your patient and detailed explanation will go a long way to help them get the most out of the system. I hope you keep your units and can show them to us in use as a UPS and as a grid tie system if that is in your plan. Most RUclips presenters just get a sample, sell it, and move on without fully exploring the capabilities and connections available to a owner.
Have you reached out to Bluetti with your discharge question?
Thank you for taking the time to produce this detailed video!
Hi Richard
Thanks for sharing this with us very insightful. I did let the unit run for an hour but the second ep500 never drop 1%. I hope this is addressed soon.
Thanks for watching Richard truly appreciated
Lets prepare for the 10k followers milestone celebration. Congrats Gavin.
Thanks buddy 🎉🎈🎉💯just turn 10,000 subscribers
Wow this is awesome. Thanks for the information.
This is a great setup! 👍 well done Gavin.
Thanks my friend 👍🏾💯
Great video Gavin! Excellent review.
Great video as usual. BTW: Did you know that your video on the Predator 1400 is on the Harbor Freight web site? I got a coupon email from them and the Predator 1400 was on sale. I took a look and they are using your video. Don't know if that's good or bad but, for me, it's impressive that they used you.
Awesome 😎 yessir that’s good
Thanks buddy
Gavin always the best!
TY G
Thanks 😊
Your videos are always on point! Thanks Gavin
240 volts? Impressive! some may say it's pricey but compared to a premium generator but it depends what are your needs. If you need 240 volts, that's when it gets expensive. I could probably use a single unit which as one gets older, a unit like that, it's easier to operate. I like the options of charging the battery via three ways.
Jose and even though you use this every day from 100 to 0% recharged it was still last you 16 years and at that time the battery would be at 80%.
Absolutely love the idea of having them inside doing a hurricane there’s no way they’re putting a generator outside in 150 mph wind .
👍🏾👌🏾👊🏾💯
@@GeneratorReviews I did had my generator running outside during hurricane Maria. I just simply chained it to my steel tubing fence. 😂 Now, I am looking really close to the Ecoflow as an alternate to my gasoline generators.
@@jvazquez53 😂
Im holding for the new and improved model
Thanks. Great content. 👍
The EP500P does have large capacity but the long AC wall outlet charging takes almost 10 hours for a full charge.
If you add the solar and AC charging together 4000 W input you can charge it in under 2 hours
It's the pro, so it can charge fast. The base model is only 600 watts.
On it as usual ..
Thanks buddy
Another great video!!! 😃
👍👍👍
👍🏾💯
you will burn your run time on large appliances like central air and washer dryer dishwasher. run directly for a small energy fridge or freezer, window ac, and lights if you hope for any extended time. otherwise a 5k-10k generator. Dont make batteries into more than they can deliver.
This power station will never replace a gas generator but using the UPS system as means of shutting down your generator for 3 to 4 hours works great especially during quiet times
Thanks for watching Tony appreciate your feedback 👍🏾
@@GeneratorReviews i've got the delta pro and it's good but still keep a Honda 3k and 7k generator, use the ecoflow at night off grid. Ecoflow charges much faster off 20 amp wall outlet
Very nice, clear information.
Would love to see you work with the 500 Pro and an RV..namely a class A or C.
Thanks..
I will do that for you 👍🏾💯
I have the Kickstarter version of the EB500. Only one, but I got it at a good price. I realize the newer units are more powerful.
I’m curious what the efficiency is on the latest models, as my model had very poor efficiency.
Did they ever figure out to make both units work in Parallel? % going down at the same time ..
Nope! I wish they would, but there are other units that have that feature now so I know it’s possible.
Hello, thank you very much for your video. What is the benefit of 'split phase'? Why not just put one in the kitchen and one in another part of the house? Seems it would be better than having extension cords running to one location. So, is there a benefit to the 'split phase'? Thank you for your reply. :) Oh, one more thing... am I understanding that you can only use TWO solar panels per unit?
Split phase allow you to use a transfer switch or inlet box that would run your entire house without using extension cords
@@GeneratorReviews Thank you so much for answering. 😊
I bought one of these. Now I need solar panels but don't know what or how many to buy. Also, I'm not sure how to get it charged since it's too heavy for me to move.
You can charge it from any plug in the house
@@GeneratorReviews As heavy as it is, how do I get it outside every day to charge outside by solar when the power is out and which solar panels and how many? Thank you!
@@Karen-jp1ns You don’t bring it outside to charge it stays inside. I would run solar extension cord from the solar panels
If you have the pro version it will take up to 2400 W it’s up to you how many watts you need to replenish your use.
The huge cost for this power station is one of the downside of this unit as it costs almost 5 grand just to get one.
I think it’s high also but it’s actually the same wattage per dollar as the EcoFlow delta pro
5120wh for $4900 Ep500p
3600wh for $3600 EcoFlow
I guess the extra wattage on the EP 500 P makes it looks more expensive
what should I do if my network produces 230 volts 16 amps? How should I charge the battery if it needs 120 volts?
You’ll need to transformer to get 120 V
Do these ep500 pro have the ability to be connected to the grid and to the solar panels at the same time? Do we have an option to tell the system that if it goes under a certain "percentage" to take power from the grid? Similiar to a real solar system setup.
Yes it can and what percentage and solar or grid priority
@@GeneratorReviews Wonderful
Hi I have a Delta Pro and extra battery and I am having the same problem with one run out before the other one.
So it's not much good to me I was thinking about a BLUETTI and
I am going to ask for a refund.
I realize the only way to prevent this is if the company comes up with some way to merge both batteries or chargers with solar during the day.
I just can’t believe they didn’t see this problem when running 120v appliances in split phase
wow 2 blutti $5999 each x2 you are rich i dont have money to buy
Hey G'
Talking to my Brother who has a food truck about getting away from his two Workhorse 4,500 gas generators (noise/emissions) to try clean power. It has a 6,000 or 8,000 BTU AC, electric water pump and 10 LED lights, would this set-up or Ecoflow run his truck about 5hrs a day?
The EcoFlow is easier to move around and with the option of adding extra batteries and a smart generator makes it more desirable. Remember these has to be recharged. As long as he plans on solar or a backup generator
@@GeneratorReviews Thanks Bro👍🏾 Also, I would prefer solar panels but roofline has 2nd AC large ventilation. I will look into a 5500 inverter generator instead of Powerhorse as backup. My brother is old-school so it this set-up will probably be on our next Food truck... Thanks again!
Do I need to buy a bunch of extension cords to plug in my appliances and other things I want to run off this generator?
You can install a transfer switch that would power your essential loads you choose ten circuit then just connect your portable generator to it
@@GeneratorReviews Do you have a video on how to hook up a transfer switch? Thank you @
@@Karen-jp1ns I will work on one for you
@@GeneratorReviews Transfer Switch for Dummies! Thank you!
@@Karen-jp1ns 😆😅
better this or Ecoflow?
For the home backup system this for the RV because of portability the EcoFlow but when you factor in the smart dual fuel generator gas or propane
It all comes down to price and preference
@@GeneratorReviews yeah that's what I was thinking... the dual fuel generator from ecoflow is great additional option... still don't understand why Ecoflow doesn't put wheels on many of their products though...
compressor start?
Central ac unit compressor
Run time is for children. SOLAR on those is way better that delta pro.
Thanks for watching
Those will work better then ecoflow pro. I heard those the best system bluetti made. Shouldn't complain about anything until you test everything sound like you're spoiled or something
Lol if you only knew
When I test these system I’m not testing them for myself. I’ve been testing this for over a month now I have to find the smallest thing that’s going to create the most problems.
these are $5000 grand each waste of money
Thanks for watching
Not if they work well.
@@zfontain1975 bullshit for $10 grand you can put together a battery bank system of immense backup. Some are worth it but this no way, you get $3000 in batteries and invertors and $7000 for pretty wrapper
@@genghischuan4886 you have a diagram so I can see how to do that? Thanks
@@zfontain1975 ruclips.net/user/WillProwsevideos
All this ish is to complicated for the average joe. Thats why most people will never buy any of this stuff. The day they make one of these batteries with built in AI that can figure out all the settings automatically for you, then whatever company does that first, they will destroy the whole game. Plug and play, thats game changer. Right now you basically need to be a rocket scientist to know how to work this ish. Hell no. ✌️
