Oupes is the name brand of the OEM, but they also do white label ODM products for other brands. http://www.souoppordie.com/

Some MPPTs play nice and some don't. I find the MPPTs in most power stations do fine paralleled with other units on the same solar string

That's just a rebranded Oupes Mega unit.

I can get a few of my "12v" panels to work in car charging mode. But they only charge at about 40-50 watts.

Color me impressed. I didn't think the inverter would handle the compressor starting up. It held the voltage nice and steady at 120v after a slight dip on compressor starting. It's more a proof of concept than anything useful as it will only run it for 20-30 minutes tops.

I've unplugged under load without issue. If I was dealing with 100+ volts at many amps it may be able to sustain an arc. Because MC4 can go up to 600v they put the warning. At 30-40v you should be fine, no different than unplugging the DC charger while its running at 500w.

The watts out display on my eb3a is off by 25-45 watts depending on the load. Had anyone else seen this behavior on their unit after updating to latest DSP firmware.

I went with 4 of the Harbor Freight 100 watt panels. I snipped of the ASE connection and added MC4. I run 2s2p. Ive gotten as high as 425 watts as the panels seem to be underated.

Another tip I can offer is to pay with a credit card versus a debit card. It's a lot easier to get a resolution and more protection if a transaction goes sideways.

I bought the Bluetti EB200 from LDSreliance. Good price with no tax and supposed 2yrs of warranty support from Millertech battery instead of Bluetti.

I used a credit card, had an EB55 arrive damaged. Zero response from Bluetti, but my CC company (Discover) gave me my money back after I submitted proof of returning the damaged power station. They reimbursed my return shipping too. A+ for Discover and an F for Bluetti.

Yes you can..... For my 5000 btu unit---- About 50 minutes on Bluetti EB55 About 2 hours on Oupes 1200w Unit About 5 Hours on Bluetti EB200

Hard to get LiFePO4 to ignite.

The Man Cave......

I bought several 22voc panels I want to wire 4 in series . Each panel has a 50v 10a bypass diode. Will I need to up these to a higher volatage to use the panels in a 4s configuration?
