A suitcase, really. Well, I guess there was a small storage area with door on top. Sigh. ??‍♂️ It’s not something I want, but to each their own.

Ran across this earlier. Not for me, I’d have concerns about the company. But interesting. Like one of the comments says, not horrible. $3000 for a 5.12kwh all in one isn’t horrible, if it works well and holds up. At 120lbs, it’s a beast… but so is a server rack battery. Prices are all over...

Thanks, I actually discovered that and should have updated my post. It’s kind of annoying though because it was shutting while I had a large tower fan was running to keep a room more comfortable. Apparently the fan is so efficient it doesn’t register on the Bluetti… or Bluetti needs a more...

Did you ever do this, and have a link to that cable pictured? Also, wouldn’t using that port on the AC200Max eliminate ability to charge with solar at the same time?

Turn it off. Let it sit a minute. Turn it on. That’s a reboot on pretty much everything I’m aware of. Now my bluetti seems to be shutting off ac power somewhere between 3 and 5 hrs. This is with a simple tower fan running off of it, not a big load at all. And the Bluetti screen doesn’t even...

Agree efficiency drops with ambient temperature. But if your electric energy is plentiful and *free…. *acknowledging cost of solar and battery system. That said, in long harsh winters such as northern climates there will certainly be limitations.

The heating element is for de-icing in winter when the unit is being used in heat mode. Which brings me to the question: Do the EG4 heat pumps have this feature and is it active when the unit is running directly on solar, assuming enough watts are available? It would be important to me and I’m...

38 seer? ? Have a short list of candidates?

She sounds like a keeper!

EG4 with quick connects now at $1299...

Mr Cool on sale at Costco presently.

Crickets huh. ??? Oh well. So today I plugged the same tower fan in to the top right outlet, and the fan ran all day as it should. The fan still does not register wattage, so it must be quite efficient. No AC power shutdown. Later in the day, I plugged the fan into the problem lower left...

I use my Bluetti AC200Max around the house on a regular basis. Induction cooktop, fans, washer, dryer, corded tools, and occasionally the microwave, toaster, and coffee maker, Charging it with a few solar panels, I absolutely love using free energy. Item 1) Today I plugged in a 120vac tower...

Need more than 6kbtu cooling if it’s anything but a small white van in actual hot ambient conditions. Most MB Sprinter van or Ford Transit or Promaster based Rv’s have >12kbtu ACunits, and those vans are all insulated (some better than others). Darker color vans definitely require much more...

I’m not holding mine either. Sure, lots of challenges… but that doesn’t make it not interesting. At least to me. Thinking in other terms such as powering large commercial industrial facilities, factories etc. The fact that Toyota seems to be all in on hydrogen research tells me it’s probably...

Interesting

Why would the fan run all the time when in AC mode? I have never seen that with any properly operating ac unit.

Well now that’s definitely not a +. I have an Ikea induction cooktop that I left plugged in on the home stove top for a few mos, until one day I started using it with my Bluetti and noticed it had a parasitic standby 120-140w useage even when off! No other 120vac appliance I’ve plugged in to...

Not all, they have both… and the $999 sale on the OG model appears to be over for now.

What wattage panels?

Found on amazon, considerably higher but that’s ok.

Any installs yet?

There are are +’s and -‘s to both options. But I do like redundancy. But I do like redundancy.

I wonder if it’s available anywhere else than alibaba.

100% agree, especially re multi head units. Btw the plug and play units are now available, at a disappointing considerable premium. And the original 12kbtu unit is on sale for $999 for another day. Mini Splits at the bottom of the page of this link...

Ok let us all know when you disconnect your on or off grid power, water, and start using a hole in the ground for your bathroom. Oh and don’t forget the internet. ?

And a lot of people didn’t have running water - or toilets that flush to a sewer or septic system not that long ago. Many on earth still don’t. Neither of those situations is ideal or desirable to most though… And more so if you’ve had.

Lt Dan is in Tulare CA, it’s pretty common to have heat near or over 100f daily for the summer in the central valley. It’s typically “a dry heat” in the central valley, but blazing sun May into October. As I’m sure most on this forum know, overhangs, eves, shading, structure color and design...

Error, wrong post somehow, why is there no delete?

Hello, I’m curious why SOK seems to be relatively conservative with their discharge limits, not just on smaller batteries but also their server rack offering. Your thoughts/info on this?

Thanks for that info. Must be nice to have an electrician in the family!

100% agree re zone conditioning and duct loss. Since our upstairs is only used for sleepy time, I see no need to heat or cool it until shortly before that time occurs. That said, since ducting is already in place, it’s tempting to use a ducted unit vs the placing the obtrusive air handlers...

Thanks for the info on the heat mode energy use. Happen to know what generation and seer rating your mr cool units are? I see they have gen 4 out now at costco. Also are your units running on 220 or 120vac?

Have a link to the ducted unit you bought? It does seem like a good solution to a structure that already has ducting. Although Ductwork definitely has loss and can have leaks. Especially old sheet metal ductwork. I’ve never seen a copper line carring anything fail anywhere other than the...
