  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    They are still working on it, but they have to find a T-500. Apparently, SSK doesn't stock a damn thing. They weren't aware that Bluetti changed it's specs for their units in early April. They tried to pass off the problem to me ? If they don't send the T-500, it will be a charge back or return...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    I will for sure ? Shit happens with online orders, but to try to convince me the switch to inferior parts was acceptable, was about as rude as you can get when I have spent over $3k with them in the past 12 months. Eye opening for sure to watch out for resellers with no warehouse, just drop...
  • Post in thread: Water filter preference

    I've had the British Berkfeld Big Berky stainless since the 90's. My original filters are still used. I bought spare black/white filters from England a few years ago, but haven't needed them yet. I really need nothing else. Best investment ever. Bought my Berky at a gun show.
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    Hey I have screen shots for you. Just let me know date of purchase. It should be the same as what I ordered, because they said that is the only EB200 that they have *ever* had. They never had the upgraded P version, yet their ad said otherwise.
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    Yes they are authorized. I e bought from them before without a problem. Very nice ppl. This was a huge mistake on their part. Do you have the EB200 2048/2200/4,800 Surge one? It's basically an Ac200max. The max has ports I would never use. I liked the EB200 for my needs. The max should be ok...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    Yes I am considering a dual fuel gen. I am more worried about the lifting weight of every component. I need to make some carts. I will let you know when I get it. I'll run it down out of the box and then wall charge it to get it it to balance everything. Then do another test. Can't wait to...
  • Post in thread: Bluetti Nightmare customer service

    Their product may be good, but watch out for their online wholesalers. You order by specs you want on the ad on the vendors site, and Bluetti sends what *they* feel like. I do vote with my wallet, but before I do an immediate charge back, I give them 1 chance to fix it. In the end, I got an...

    I got this one with 100 off coupon code. https://shopsolarkits.com/collections/bluetti-eb200-solar-generator-kits/products/bluetti-eb200-solar-generator-double-kit
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    Wow our goals are similar. I purchased 1 Rich 200w last year along with lifepo4 12v batteries. I am modding a small cargo trailer, but decided the EB200 with 2 more 200 watt panels, the kit was perfect for my needs. I never bought an inverter for the trailer, so the EB should fill that hole for...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    More info on the EB200. It's pretty much an AC200max without Bluetooth. Upgraded software for lfp's. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/klein-tools-power-units-and-bluetti-eb200.32049/
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    I like the ports on the EB, better than the AC's.
  • Post in thread: Additional kWh to Solar generator?

    I'm sure someone has come up with it. I have a 30a output on my solar gen ac200max, so I bought this to power a Blue Sea 12v panel, in my cargo trailer. The aviation OUT is a male aviation cable : https://www.bluettipower.com/products/12v-25a-aviation-plug?variant=40871690567855 The max...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    No, I haven't hooked it up to panels. It was 55% charged, so I ran a 200w HEPA filter, charged my phone, and ran an 1875w hair dryer intermittently (too hot to run it lol) and drained it to 18%. I have no interest in using it, because it's going to have to go back ? The only thing in the box...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    I went with the 2048WH/2200 inverter to run a few things for short bursts. A/C is the only thing so far, that will need the tricky part. Probably get a mini split. I also have 2 Sok batteries (100ah/206ah) and a SmartSolar scc 100/15. No plan for an inverter, except for the Bluetti. Should be...
  • Post in thread: Ordered bluetti AC200P from Max Oak the screen says it is AC200

    It sounds similar to what I got and sent it back. They are sending out scrapped together units. Look at the Bluetti sticker, lower right model #. Then Google that part # +electric.garden.com. Many of the model #'s they are shipping don't exist. Cobbed together and you'll never know for sure...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    Two main differences. 2000wh vs 2048wh 2200w inverter with 4800 surge. vs 2000w The rest was not important. I go by specs on the add to cart page. I expect to get what I paid for. I preferred the 110v layout on the EB.
  • Post in thread: Budget CIGS or narrow panels for Airstream

    Did you have luck with the 50w panels? Looking to do the same
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    Hey I got mine and the specs are way off. Contacted SSK to see what's up with that. These EB's are thrown together in different configs I think. If you got the 2048wh one, with 100 amp usb-c, you got the right one. I found a good teardown link of that one today. I'll find the link. These are...

    Here you go. All the geek stuff you may need when it's out of wtty :-) https://electric.garden/shenzhen-poweroak-newener-2ayt3/portable-power-station-eb200p
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    Bluetti didn't ship it, shop solar kits did. The *only* EB200 they sell is the one they sent me. Photos and specs on the product page showed the *EB200P*, which they do not have. By the specs of one they sent me, it looks like one of the early units they made when they switched to Lifepo4. Only...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    Hi WoS, no I have not. I checked to see if the T-500 worked. It seems to be fine. It's fully charged. I will try to run some tests this week. I'll hook up 3/200w 12v panels and run some electrical yard tools while it's charging. I have a blower, Sun Joe tiller, elec mower, hedge clippers...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    I went by Bluetti's advice to run it down first and then charge. I took mine down to 18%. I was afraid to take it further, because some of the 200's (P, AC) had glitches where they took it to zero and had to jump through hoops with a UPS to get it to charge. That is a software issue, so maybe...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    When did you buy yours from SSK? If it's recent then the specs are like the one I got. I had to make them aware of their ads with wrong specs, eb200P in their specs AND video on the sale page. You are SO correct - flood the market with mixed match crap and wrong specs from what they ship. I...
  • Post in thread: Found out high temp cut off on Sok's

    I have one on order, live in the south and saw it elsewhere on the forum as a high temp of 35c. That's only 95 ? I posted to clarify, because in looking for an answer on here I saw AZ, FL, TX, LA, being advised to take measures to cool them or they will become a brick. One was even told to bury...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    If you don't hear back from SSK, use their chat feature. They will send you an email of the chat. Save it, and then CALL them. I am so sorry you got ripped off like they tried to do to me.
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    You have no idea sweetie. I got the AC200MAX to replace it, and it showed up with a noname 400w charger, when it was cleared AHEAD of the order that it comes with the T-500 charger. ? I put in a request to send the T-500 and a return label for the Chinese noname 400w charger. If I wanted...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    WOW. Shopsolarkits.com is a scam site after all. Here is their reply to receiving the wrong charger, not the one advertised on the ad on their site, which is still up. Bait and switch on Bluetti drop ships. SSK/ My reply Let the games begin ? SSK product page what's in the box on the page I...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    I just ordered one. I liked the reviews, capabilities, upgrades. Bluetti did a special run of these in 2021. Different specs, depending on vendor licensing maybe? The one I ordered has a 500amp charger, 2048 AH/2,200/4,800 surge, 100w usb-c, can charge with a single 18v panel. 900w. Some...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Have the Bluetti EB200?

    Yup same as mine with bogus specs. It sounds like you are finding it useful. They replaced my EB200 with the AC200MAX. They are replacing the no name 400w charger with the t-500. Should arrive today. They did the right thing, but I will never buy from SSK again. Horrible experience trying to...
  • Post in thread: Replacement BMS for a SOK battery

    Wow, I have gotten the same response this week from him. I found this thread by search and it took 3 emails to repeat myself, and then a cryptic reply and hand scribbled connections that had nothing to do with my question. I was like, woah. Did I just make a mistake in ordering a 2nd one...
