Additional 12v battery with charger 2/d1 hub

Hey guys, would anyone know if it's possible to charge an additional 12v battery with a bluetti charger. It would be for a RV and I know it's possible to reverse charge the starter battery but I want to connect another 12v battery to power the house side along side a power station.

Alternator charger to power factory installed air conditioner ?

Is it possible to send power from my battery bank to the 12v car battery to power the air conditioner without running the engine ? I’m using the bluetti charger 2 with the apex 300 in a 2013 sprinter.

Charger 2 issue

Hi! I have a weird problem using my Charger 2. When I got it, I hooked it up to my vehicle along with solar panels to charge my AC70 and AC180. It worked great for a few times, but I think I messed something up in the app because now only a few watts come in from the alternator at start up, then O watts. The solar works great all the time. Should I just reset to factory settings and start over with the software or is this a common issue with the power coming from the car?

New to BLUETTI and Power stations! Need some input!

Hello all! I am 32 years old on the spectrum and had bought both a Jackery and a BLUETTI Elite 30 V2 (with an additional one on the way!). I am buying these all for power outage emergencies and I am wondering how long it can do for a WiFi router? Like an 8w? How long has that lasted for anyone?

I have a lot of anxiety about power outages and severe storms that cause them a lot so having these things I think will really benefit me? I’d love to hear some stories and experiences with yours!

Also I would love some tips on how to prolong the battery life for the unit as a whole please! 💖💖💖

Thank you!

Elite 300 solar charging?

I’ve noticed that when plugged in to the grid and solar, the system shows both as providing input but for some reason the grid input is equal to total output while the battery is charged at 100%.
Is this right?

EB3A Died, replaced with Elite 100 v2. Do what with dead Eb3A?

Had a reliable EB3A that lasted two years on camping trips and portable power for conventions. Then it died on me. Found this subreddit and tried all the fixes I felt comfortable with, charged through the DC port, charged with a laptop charger, and used a solar panel. Discharged completely, all that good stuff. It still wont activate the AC outlets. Reached out to customer support and they said I was out of warrenty and offered a generous (/s) 10% discount on my next purchase.

I needed power and upgraded to an Elite 100 v2. But now I have this EB3A just sitting around. It will still accept solar, but not AC power. And the DC ports still work. I guess it could be a giant heavy usb-c charger. But what else can I do with it? Call it a loss and do electronic recycling?

Any suggestions internet?

Apex 300 claims huge grid power draw

The stats on my Apex300 are completely wrong when pulling from Grid, it would be impossible to pull more than about 3kw per hour so a draw of over 20kw is nuts. Been happening for a few days now, any thoughts?

60W Solar Panel Charging Power

I purchased a Bluetti Elite 30 this year along with a 60w solar panel for camping trips to charger and power the basics.
Previous experience with solar charging has always been to expect 50% of the total wattage to charge. Well, the Bluetti has only gone and set the bar for me. 56W maximum I’ve just achieved 😁
Obviously it does fluctuate, but to get such a high power input from such a small panel, I’m more than impressed, it’s 93% of the total wattage for charging 🔋

New to Bluetti. DC7909 adaptor for AC180P

https://preview.redd.it/or92pb33fv0h1.png?width=656&format=png&auto=webp&s=6143f97fcb4496f1a02509b44b49d4e284ffffaa

I recently became the owner of a Bluetti AC180P, which doesn’t have an XT60 input port - only a DC7909 (which came as a surprise to me). I used to be an EcoFlow user and had no issues using my 36V 5.5A solar panel setup with their devices. However, the long cable from my panels ends with an XT60 female connector.

Has anyone used these no-name XT60 to DC7909 adapters for 200W solar input? I wouldn’t want to end up with a melted DC connector after a couple of hours.

Bluetti Elite 10 as UPS for my Home NAS

I have a QNAP TS-233 and am planning to buy a Bluetti Elite 10 as its UPS. How good is this setup? Anyone tried a similar setup? Will the Elite10 degrade overtime faster if I go this setup? Is this doable and would shutdown NAS Safely and resume when powers back up?

Surge protectors???

Hi. Been having trouble with the power grid. So someone recommended a surge protector for my Elite 200 V2. Is this a good idea?? And if so, what type should I use? Here in my country we have protectors for AC units and protectors for refrigerators and coolers. Apparently they are different. Can anyone tell which one to use?

Thanks in advance.

Regular sales on which dates?

I’m willing to be patient waiting for a better price …the question is does Bluetti have a sale in the US on regular dates like Memorial Day, Independence Day etc? Hopefully I won’t have to wait until Black Friday.

Or do they follow Chinese holidays? I’m looking for an Elite 300.

FIXED INSTALL LOCATION

Hi guys for you who are running their house with their bluetti setup and solar panels where did you install your battery? Like in some solar setups some would recommend putting them outside or away from the main house or detached garage for safety and fire caution.

450 watt panel

It is so refreshing to just put the panel out, not optimal angle, and get greater then the panels rating. Zoila 450 watt suitcase panel.
11.8 amps, voltage unknown, 453 watts
BLUETTI EL300 (60V, 22A charge controller).
I will buy 450 watt panel when I catch another flash sale and report back what I get. It will be interesting to see what the charge controller can do, because the two panels will exceed the maximum current.

60 volts between neutral and ground?

I have a little Elite 30 that I’m playing with until I buy a big unit and I measured 60v neutral to ground, 60v hot to ground and 120v between hot and neutral. Tha’s concerning. What will happen when I plug in a neutral-ground bonding plug? sparks fly?

Ground error due to floating ground ....

Has anyone ever encountered this before?

One of my devices is throwing a grounding error when plugged into the bluetti because it uses floating ground.

Is it safe to use a bonding plug ....or will the error go away if I actually use the ground screw that came with it and hook up a wire to the physical ground wire at my house?

I forgot to mention that my question is because I didn’t notice that the elite 200 had only one 10A dc output … so my idea was to extend this by using de DC panel output from the charger 2
