I live in an area that has experienced several electrical blackouts during the last year which lasted up to twelve hours. By using three Bluetti Power Stations (EB 40, 70, and 150) I was able to keep my house alarm system, internet modem and router, and small TV active during the two blackouts. After the last blackout I began a search for a larger and more capable power station to be able to keep my deep freezer functioning for a prolonged period to preserve all the expensive meat and frozen items. My research led me to seek a new power station that had a large capacity LiFePO4 battery- known for its safety, long life, and ability to deep discharge without damage. Also important was some portability and solar recharging.
The product that best met my criteria was the Bluetti AC300 + B300 Power Station. The Master Module and the battery are separate units and can stack and are connected for use by a supplied cable. Each unit was able to be moved around my house using a furniture dolly and then quickly reassembled for use. Because the system is modular, up to three more batteries can be added in the future.
After my initial assembly, I charged it up to 100% in a short period of time using the AC input and then connected the AC300 control unit to my iPhone using the user friendly Bluetti app and also my home wifi system. I now have the ability to monitor the system remotely.
I spent the next several days using the new Bluetti System in emergency situations to assess its capabilities. First, I moved it to my garage and plugged in my freezer (155 W intermittent) and ran it for 24 hours without any recharging. Next I added two solar panels to test the solar recharging and pass thru power ability. Over there next day thanks to the sun, I was able to keep the freezer running and partially recharge the battery. I next recharged my electric bicycle batteries which went well. Next was my 12 V refrigerator which could run for an extended time with some solar assist. My CPAP which uses 24 V DC ran perfectly even using the heated hose and humidifier. Lastly, my wife and I used it as a massive recharging station.
I can't say enough about the versatility and power of the new Bluetti Home Backup System. I will now store it in my house near an AC plug and keep it around d 70% for storage because I know that I can use solar if needed for recharging. I am totally pleased about the build quality, ease of use, portability, safety, and peace of mind that I am much better able to cope with a future long term power outage.
