Then one more question. My ecoflow has a max solar charge rate of 400 watts. It came with a 14awg cable. I feel as if I'm finding conflicting information. Is it solely amps that matter, or total wattage?

I took another look at my setup and did some research again. Either I'd misunderstood something or miscalculated back then. I had notes but I don't know what happened to them. So this is what I think that I was looking at. -The bluetti has a max input of 10 amps -16awg is the minimum for a 100w...

Thanks for the lecture. I'm the type to obsessively research things, especially of an electrical nature, before doing anything. I first set this up a couple of years ago and it did not get heavy use by any means. So either i missed something back then, or i overlooked something later on when i...

Thanks for the replies. A search on replacing the part almost exclusively produces links for laptop repairs. And it's difficult to find anything on the AC30 anymore. Regardless, I'll be replacing all my mc4, etc, while trying to see if there's some obvious issue with my current setup. There's...

So one hot afternoon I went outside to check my bluetti AC30 and found the connector had melted onto the port. I assume that this was due to my lack of due diligence of keeping the connector clean. Is there a way to salvage this? The setup was two 100 watt panels, both Weize, connected in...

What does this have to do with voter registration? I'm pro free market with enough regulation to maintain a sense of sanity in it all. These things of which you speak are not sane. Edit: ugh, didn't intend to quote two posts.

Wut?

With the matter of the senate, originally it was the state legislatures that voted for senators, and the people (depending on time period) who voted on representatives. Then a constitutional amendment was passed requiring senators to also be elected by popular vote. Nothing addressing the new...

Just looking through random power stations on amazon, it seems that a lot of them, bluetti included, are just white label products. While that by itself isn't necessarily an issue is there really any good way to compare them? Can't trust the reviews, my guess is that they hire an english speaker...

The 12v is regulated, i tested it multiple times with a multimeter. When i originally posted my question i had run the fridge using the ac port. I've returned the power station since, and now I'm kicking myself as i didn't pay closer attention when i used the 12v port.

I see. I plan to run some tests once it's charged.

More specifically, this is for the bluetti eb70. The battery display on this thing is very inaccurate. Enter my mini freezer which has a voltage readout. When fully charged, the freezer will show the eb70 at 14.8v, same as when plugged into the wall. Fast forward, the battery display is reading...

In conclusion, much like loading statuses on computers, 99% doesn't mean 99%. Fully charged it to 100%, and it has held there since.

I plugged in a fan with approximately a 60 watt pull. Once the station hit 20% i turned it off. According to my watt reader it used 0.17kwh in 2.7 hrs. The rockpals is rated for a 288.6 wh capacity. So theoretically, taking inefficiencies into account and a starting capacity of 86% (it went down...
