    Bluetti house bank

    I took jdege’s advice and started thinking about how I could set things up in the most simple way. I tested the ac side of the Bluetti with no load. As far as I can tell there is a minimal 1-2% power loss over 24 hours for my unit. So I could just set up a marine battery charger plugged into the...

    So after 5 days of testing I am pleased with my decision. The Bluetti will power my electric galley plus fridge for 2 plus days with no recharge and more than 24 hours adding in a battery charger plugged into the Bluetti and maintaining my lead acid bank.

Plus all the cabling. The price is close to the cost of a Bluetti and I would hope to either add a lifpo4 into...

    Bluetti house bank

    Hello, I was looking for input on integrating a Bluetti 200max into the 12v DC and 110 ac systems on my boat. My boat is from 1974 and has never been upgraded(very simple system with lights and minimal electronics). Rather than expand and upgrade the original system (would end up being the same...
