Why would a billion dollar company need to crowd fund with Indiegogo?Actually its a 20+ year old company with over a billion dollars in annual sales
Bluetti support isnt much better. I ordered an EB55 a few weeks back directly from Bluetti when they were on sale for $399. When the unit arrived it had parts rattling around inside. I took one of the side panels off and small peices of plastic and a few metal screws fell out through the fan opening. Its been crickets from bluetti. And to think they sell units approaching 10k dollars.Leoch units are complete and utter garbage. Mine arrived damaged and the configuration of internals was a joke. The fact that this is a large company making a low quality product, and using crowd funding platforms to lower their initial risk makes me sick. If they had a good product, sure. But the unit they sent me was pathetic. I can't believe people send their money over the internet to companies like this. Makes no sense to me.
No way!!! Geez these companies are just ridiculous. Thanks for letting me know about that. I wonder what happened thereBluetti support isnt much better.

Im assuming shipping damage to the unit. Its just frustrating you email and email and get no response. Their phone support is nill, It goes to a "full" voicemail box.No way!!! Geez these companies are just ridiculous. Thanks for letting me know about that. I wonder what happened there
The irony is that ive had much better luck contacting and getting resolution from the small Chinese companies selling on Amazon. They usually bend over backwards to avoid negative amazon reviews of their products. Several times ive had them just send a replacement no questions asked for the most minor of issues.There are a lot of companies that are difficult to reach to resolve an issue. Most are names that you've never heard before. A few are huge internationally recognized names. It seems their strategy is to ignore these issues until it makes one of those "helping consumer" segments on the local news or an influencer, and then they jump right on it and put a positive spin on how they are always helping customers first.
I've had many incidents where it was extremely difficult to get a simple answer. Although this was about 10 years ago, I just want to give an example of this. I bought a gaming PC that was several thousand dollars from a well known brand. At that time, Windows 10 was just about to come out. I asked about an upgrade to Windows 10, whether it was free or I have to pay for it. I wasn't demanding a free upgrade, I just wanted to know if it will be free or how much it will cost. Several emails over the course of a few weeks and not a peep. I ended up returning the entire PC within the 30 day policy. They ended up with a used PC just because they didn't answer a simple question. The way I figured, if I can't get an answer to a simple question, what would happen if I needed warranty repairs for the hardware? Would I have to wait weeks or months to replace a malfunctioning component? Or the warranty means nothing because they don't even answer their support emails.
My EB70S I ordered from Amazon around January seems very well built. I’ve banged it around camping, it rode in the back of the truck, got rained on, etc. no issues. Of course, we’ve both samples of one.Bluetti support isnt much better. I ordered an EB55 a few weeks back directly from Bluetti when they were on sale for $399.

There is a history of no response from multiple companies. This was mentioned just recently in my thread with another company.No way!!! Geez these companies are just ridiculous. Thanks for letting me know about that. I wonder what happened there

You should do a none bias review on all product not just ones u like!If they are bad product we will see for ourselves.The reviewers forget we dont give a damn about there opionion or the product they want to push.we just want to see the product in action.Hell most people who are taking someone full advice is a pawn and it would matter cause even if the product was good they wouldn't know unless u said is was good.Do some review for the techies that grew up opening shit up and sometimes breaking it just to see how it works.You got a free unit!Fuck bust that bitch open and show us will we just like to see sometimes!Leoch units are complete and utter garbage.

Do you have the full spec of the panels you are trying to use?I've got one of these coming and am trying to get prepared. I'm very much a solar novice. I've watched every video I can find on the Leoch and most of them are old or don't touch on my questions.
One of my questions is, can I use just one 300w 12 or 24 volt panel for the solar input. I've seen a video that says it requires at least 24v but I believe I saw it using 12v in a simulated solar test.
Another question is has anyone tried using a higher wattage in the solar input. If so, what is safe.
Thanks for any help.

I am still researching my best options. You all are part of that research . Thanks for your help.Do you have the full spec of the panels you are trying to use?
The so called '12V' does not put out 12V, it puts out higher than 12V, same for the '24V' panel, so look at the Voc spec (Voc will also go up in cold temperature so you have to factor that in), it should not be higher than the max PV input of the controller.
Thanks for the info The external MPPT will drop the watts/amps back to something the power station can handle correct?Solar input Anderson port - DC 10-35.5V(no more than 40V in cold environment)
- 20A
- MAX Wattage < 300W
If you live in a snow environment, you could over panel but would not want the panel to exceed the Voltage or Amperage.
External charging XLR port - 12V, 24V, or larger V solar panel(depend on MPPT)
- 10.5A
- MAX Wattage < 300W
(if you use the Epever Tracer 1206AN MPPT , you have to use 24V panel or 12V panel in series, 390W/24V is max for that MPPT)
Is this normal behavior? There has been no power outage.
