I loaded the system onto a dolly, wheeled it from its home in the detached garage (not wired for electricity) to the attached garage (wired), and plugged it in. Wouldn’t you know, it started charging at about 1600 watts. This isn’t ideal because I’m not interested in lugging this huge thing...

I hope this is going to end up being one of those, “Yeah, duh!” questions with a super easy fix. I recently received my Bluetti AC300 + B300 system. I am trying to charge it using the AC1 input port on the AC300, using an extension cord to my house’s wall outlet. I keep getting an alarm error...

I recently purchased a Bluetti EB240 (charging with solar panels) to power my off-grid security system. It was the best bang for my buck I could find for the power draw I'll have, short of building my own LiFePo system (which I'm working up the confidence to do). My issue is that the average low...

That is CRAZY! 32 cells to run an internet router and camera base station?!

12v DC... although now that I think about it, I need to confirm that. By my (possibly inaccurate) calculation: 26w * 24 hours = 624w per day * 30 days = 18,720 w/month 18,720 w / 12v = 1560 amp hours Am I way off? That seems crazy!

I have a piece of vacant land that I want to add some wireless Wifi security cameras to. I'm trying to figure out what my best option is for the power supply for the equipment. The Wifi receiver and router need about 6-8w, per the technician, and will need to be running 24 hours a day. The...

Thank you! I found another spec sheet stating the continuous output current is 16.6 amps. I had more or less glossed over that part, failing to translate it into “this is the cost of doing business with this inverter/charger.” I appreciate you doing the math to put that in perspective. Edit: I...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I have an opportunity to buy an Ultimate Power 2000W Inverter (specs here: https://ultimatepower.com/products/inverter-chargers/pcul-series/2000w-pure-sine-inverter-charger-pcul/) for under $300. I'm in the process of building my first solar setup (off grid...
