We have used the kzfaq.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

Hi all! Just a quick bit of good news on the DC output for the EB3A. I re-tested the 0.2C DC output a few times and am revising my measurements to 232wh (of 269wh) for a surprisingly good rate of 86%. The 180wh I measured originally is a mystery - either the battery or my meter was out of calibration. I also noticed that I incorrectly labeled the AC50 as the EB50 at one point. Sorry for any confusion.

I just got one, I’m playing so all the reviews I’ve been listening to will finally make sense to me. 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Todd, terrific review of the EB3A and I guess Bluetti has been listening to consumers because I have been waiting to make a purchase until I found the solar station that had everything I wanted and once Bluetti make the changes to their midsize models like the EB70s and others I will be all in. The bulky power brick and the fan doesn't turn off and is a power consumer, power indicator with no percentage of charge, obsolete USB ports and one or two other things was just not acceptable. This new EB3A has all the features I want of a Jackery and more, but with the nice Bluetti folding handle that make it easy to pack and store. Thanks for listening to the consumer Bluetti and I hope to see the new features in your midsize solar stations soon !

Thank you, I have at least 40 hours of research. And you finished this for me with a unit that does it all. Every day I think I have the one. I put it in my list for Amazon. And you came into my life and answered all my question. I thank you so very much. I am buying EB3A now. I have the 55 and 70 in my cart for a week. I was looking for more Lfp, which only makes since to go with that, but there is not very many. Im going to charge my 800 cpc celestron telescope and computer at times smart phone on a beautiful mountain full of stars and galaxy. Clear skies next week.

I just got this until during Amazon Prime days, it seems like a great unit. It does make some funky noises. All the reviews mention that, so it makes me think maybe it's ok. Thanks for your great reviews.

just ordered this and pv 120 cant wait. thanks for such a thorough review

Very informative, thanks. I just received my EB3A a week ago and downloaded the app. I noticed that the charging input on app doesn’t match the input on EB3A but I do enjoy this little unit mainly to power my 12v 42 quart car fridge to maintain 34 degrees and fridge uses about 35 to 60 watts when compressor is on. It would last about 15hrs. Thanks again for sharing. 😊

YES! The EB3A is the unit with most features that made me add it to my wishlist cart! The UPS, the pass-through charging (PTC, already, ok?), the predictive power display (PPD), the power lift mode (PLM), plus all the other nice/cute features. The only feature I need for true, modular off-grid power is a remote generator startup/shutdown (RGSS) feature and modular plug-in battery packs to increase the storage capacity of this wonder power station... Awesome! 👍

LOVE that new display! I have the EB70 and will probably get this one too.

excellent review Todd of the Bluetti EB3A.... trying to decide between this EB3A EB70. Already hauling the AC200P and EB240, so looking for an addition that is more portable for smaller jobs.

I snagged two of these from Amazon during Prime Day 2023. They were running some kind of stacked coupon if you bought 2. I got them both for $338 plus tax.

I cant wait to take this unit to the beach, hook up a 200w panel and a couple of Sonos play1s for all day use.

Excellent review, thank you!

Wow, this is the best feature set Bluetti yet. They finally got almost all the checkboxes. It will be interesting to see who EcoFlow does next.

I have an Ecoflow River Max and this Bluetti should be the final incentive for Ecoflow to offer LiFePO4 as either an upgrade or option on their future models in 250-750 wh range. That said I am very pleased with the features of the Ecoflow and it will last me many years.

Excellent review. Looks like a winner for a small unit.

Awesome review. Thanks!

If you want to use this unit as a UPS leave the ECO mode turned off to avoid interruptions of the AC inverter. This worked for me.

I dont know if standard features changed since this came out but my EB3A did come with solar cables

Great review. I'm glad what Bluetti has done with this new generator & is far ahead of Jackery, EcoFlow & others who have totally & stubbornly ignored moving ahead with advanced LiFePo4 batteries & more efficient upgrades. However, the low wh of this unit is a deal breaker for me, but I will purchase one with a higher w & wh unite.

Looks like a promising unit! Hopefully we will see updated eb55 and eb70 eventually.

WTH....Bluetti said I can't do my review video until June 14th LOL.... Edit: After watching the entire video, I loved the video, excellent job showing off the power station with style :) :)

Another firmware update I would strongly recommend is the ability to set the SOC range. Especially important if using it as a UPS. LiFePO4's don't like to sit at 100% SOC long term. I'd like to set the max SOC at 80% when using as a UPS when it's plugged into the wall 24/7.

Well done I bought in 800 wats for 2 weeks ago.

Love that display. I'm literally holding off buying the AC300, mainly because I hate that touch display. Can't justify the cost with that display unit. Looks outdated IMO.

Excellent review

hi todd, excelente review, my only question is: is the charging modes only for AC charging?? I hope so cause i wanna charge this battery in my car with dual charging but with silent mode cause my AC port is a 150W 110v, plus the 100w DC port, so i can charge it at 200W without blowing the car inverter fuse

Great vid ! Wich unit would you recommand to be abble to plug a fridge and or ac things of that nature

The speakers sound amazing on this.

Great review and timely. I'm sold, Ecoflow is going back, namely lack of LFP and greatly exaggerated AC output.

Great little unit that has features which should make it into the next EB55, 70s and bigger units. The only downside is the size to power ratio, given the EB55 and AC50s are almost the same size at double the capacity. I'd guess moving the charger inside and other electronic upgrades plus less energy dense batteries can lead to that.

Great review

I made the purchase , I have to say that I think it’s so so . It charges up really really fast . On the other hand it seems to discharge really really fast as well . The wireless charger seems to discharge the unit fast . The build quality can not compare to the Jackery’s . I prefer my AimTom and my Jackery Explorer 300 269 watt hours is being generous for sure . I have no way of checking it but I really have my doubts . This unit would be great if you have could add more battery storage . No dc or solar charger cable .

Just one I thought I made my mind up on getting the EB70S ! Now they throw this one out. But just your opinion , because I’m not really familiar with any of them , but did want something to take out on some light overloading and camping trips , How does this one compare to the bigger models?

Great Video,interesting, I like the price. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I heard you mention compressor. I was looking to use this with an Alpicool C9 fridge. Would it run this overnight if already cooled down?

I really want one but I think waiting to see if a 500wh or 600wh becomes available would be better.

Wow.. they would have this right after I bought my EB55 🤦🏽‍♀️. I mean I still need the higher watt hours but I have a feeling they will release an updated version soon!

hello, i just saw a wireless coffe cup on amazon, it does have its own pad, but, would the cup work on the fifteen watt wireless phone charge pad? thanks

I know Nonthing about solor. I have a 100 watt solor panel will it charge the EB3A or do I need 2 buy another 100 watt panel?

Where did you get the 55 21 connector? I'm looking for one

Will this power a 55inch TV for 6-8 hours of tailgating? Also planning on getting the solar, and car charger as a backup.

I've calibrated the battery twice fully discharge and charged the watts going out still 40 to 60 watts more than what the watt meter is reading what's causing that .

Can I run a blender (1200W) with a power lifting mode turned on? Will it not be destroyed?

Well my Bluetti EB3A arrived today. No power cord. Very disappointed. Amazon is working on it. And the solar cable I guess is backordered. (Out of stock). Somebody screwed up. Does anyone know if the Jackery power cord works on the Bluetti. The input MPPT ports look similar. The Bluetti came charged at 65% so there is that.

Wow this looks perfect for me. I've used a couple of power stations for van camping and know the limitations. I totally agree with your important usage points particularly having an adjustment to keep the display on longer. I wouldn't buy the previous Bluetti's because of the noisy charging bricks. I assembled two 1.3kw LiFePo4 batteries for low rate discharge supplying my 12V fridge, blanket, lights, and recharge phones, drones. The 200w solar input and 600w inverter just adds to usability. With pass thru charging, wouldn't this be great to add capacity to this little unit. The UPS function and wireless phone charging is icing on the cake! I want it now, when can I order this? Great review by the way, thanks.

Thanks Can you expand on that heat gun use? Remote location and need to use heat guns on lowest setting. Thought regarding the featured heat gun ?

With pass-thru charging capability, could this be used as a simple UPS device for a home computer station (monitor, CPU, printer, etc.)?

I was about to order the 70s for my parents... Any idea if this will get put on the 70s?

Can you leave this plugged in charging all the time? Also, if you fully charge it, will it drain any while turned off, not used ?

Great Review ! I just received my EB3A . I ran a test on the AC output by running a 40W fan. It ran for 4.5 hours and only delivered 170 KWH before shutting down. Does this seem within a reasonable limit considering its rating of 268 KWH. I am thinking of returning it ...

I Really hope this model features are incorporated in the larger units soon! But they better increase the WH’s. I’d buy It over todays eco flow equal. But they better hurry , because eco flows new river 2 models are coming out in 2 weeks and they will now have the lithium iron phosphate batteries !! It’s gonna be a fight to win over Bluetti fans!

Hello. Thank you for this review. Could you confirm that the solar panel input port is a 8mm (7.9x5.5) ? Thank You

Would this unit run a small 24” tv and DVD player for a couple hours?

I with the light on the end to be used as a flash light.

If I bought that Bluetti EB3A could it continuously power a Mining Rig (Powered by a Be Quiet STRAIGHT POWER 11 1000W Gold Power Supply) being 120V at 325Watts?? And Plugging in a Solar panel at 200 watts???

I don't fully understand how to compare capacity specs across different devices. The Bluetti EB55 has 537Wh and 24Ah while the Goal Zero 500X has 505Wh and 46.8Ah. Similar Wh, but the Ah is almost double on the Goal Zero. The Ah spec means that my 12V fridge (which draws about 1 Amp) would run for 46.8 hours on the Goal Zero, but only 24 hours on the Bluetti. How can the devices be about equal in Wh, but the Goal Zero has almost double the capacity in Ah?

The app is great but. We just had a large storm hit us. Power was out as well as internet for a week. Cell towers where knocked out as well for 2 days and very very weak service for 3 days. Something to think about . Also lost all my outside ring cameras for a week. So checking outside became old school.

how long would it power a TV, router and PC in combination for?

Only thing I wish this thing had is PD Input charging, so you could charge it with a PD brick if you wanted. Otherwise, nice product.

I'm really happy that I've delayed purchasing any power station that comes with an external power brick & doesn't have Lithium Iron Phosphate battery chemistry. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

Assuming the Bluetti EB3A will sit idle for months at a time for a SHTF moment (typical FPL blackout), is it okay to store it at 100% charge? Or does it have to be discharged to 50-60% for longterm (4-8 months) storage? 🧐

How do we turn on the eb3a’s Bluetooth

I understand it’s rated to 2500 cycles to 80% but my question is how many cycles could you realistically get to before it becomes dead or pointless to use ? I imagine I’d keep using the battery even after it goes down to 50% and that’s especially true for the larger models.

I know this is probably a silly question but I'm want to buy it to run a heated blanket when I camp in my truck when snowboarding season comes around and I'm hoping a full charge will let the heated blanket run a full night on a high setting? Will this be my solution for that? Thanks in advance for how ever answers and Super Great Review, very well Done A++++

What is the smallest amount of solar panels that can charge this

Anyone know how much the solar charger cable costs for this unit?

I wonder how to connect solar panels. No reviews discuss it yet. I will watch for that here.

Hello, I have a fledgling review channel. How do you get your review products? Thanks!

Why are the charge port in front? Why?

perfect item for prepping if your broke but advise to get the eb70s version that is 568 bucks

Could you run your heat gun test on this to test actual watt hours please and could you test the new display to see if it accurately displays the kill a watt reading and test a low wattage item to see if it registers on the display meter. That would be stellar…thank you!

I want them to pair this with a panel that will power a compressor freezer fridge.

can i use it and charge it at the same time?

Interesting looks like they are finally catching up to ecoflow something tells me we're gonna have a few companies competing to be the Honda of the solar generator world which means we're going to be getting some very good advances in technology.

No Anderson power poles, should would be great to have them.

Just An FYI, Amazon selling it for 209.99. 5/1/23. For those that want to buy one.

How is compare to the jackery 300?

new to this..... does recharging a power station say when it gets to 80% or so below count as a cycle? my solar panel is right next to my new eb3a (i havent opened the box) but i have a feeling ill just keep it connected all the time.

Question re CPAP if anyone out there uses a DreamMachine 1. My wife uses the DM1 and the base plate says 6.67A at 12DC. I am guessing this is the total draw including the heater plate for the humidifier. We'd like to use a portable power supply such as this for dry camping. Does anyone know what the draw is w/o the humidifier plugged in? Phillips can't answer the question which blows me away.. Ha.. No pun intended... well, yes.. intended. It appears I will also be using a machine.. taking my test Thursday night at the hospital. So, whatever, I'll likely need two supplies. This leads the another question.. Can I run two machines plugged into the 12vdc plugs on front of this power supply? Let's say they both run about 4 or so amps dc.. Thanks for any pointers here...

Like the new display but I take an external charger over a larger capacity any time! 700W inverter with not even 300Wh of capacity isn't great.

The cigarette recepticle has made my EB70 useless as it is horribly lose, i get a headache writting this. Echoflow looks good.

I bought 2 of these units for camping that way when one unit is charging i can use the other one. I paid $516.00 for 2 of them. So that's 1200 watts of power for a good price i think. I also have the original Bluetti AC200 from Indiegogo campaign. My biggest complaint about these units is how much power they use even when not drawing power or sitting idle. I wish they could fix this it degrades the efficiency.

Nice

interesting i just got another eb3a and started solar charging and was working. while charging i updated the firmware to 10 and now it wont charge.

What does the device cost?

How much do all the extras cost that weren't included? Plugs etc.

Great review! You mention an "aggressive price point"... can you specify this a little?

Can u review eb 200

LFP batteries can take 50A without even worrying so that won't affect the battery at 337W

You are good 👍

Thanks The screen should stay on when in use thats a deal breaker for me

My EB3A seems to be defective, phone charger doesn't work.

I watched another review on this unit the other day and that reviewer said it only did pass through charging with the DC outlet and not the ac outlet.

I don’t get it…it won’t power an RV AC, it won’t power an RV microwave, or anything that draws a lot of watts….so it’s only utility is as a small electronics charger which you already have with your vehicles power?

They really need to bump up the max amps on the solar input port to 10A at least. Need to be able to charge this more efficiently in the car while driving with a DCDC converter 12V to 24V 10A.

I really don't see any breakthrough or anyting special with the EB3A. I have seen everything with the River.

Just purchased the EB3A over the EcoFlow River mini. I got it for powering my water kettle and 7" electric frying pan. I have another larger Oupes solar generator, but I blow the inverter unless I turn on/off the kettle while heating the water every 20 seconds. Here is a suggestion. Show a small water kettle in use next time. I keep seeing people camp with 1000-2000 W solar generators and they still use a propane stove to boil water. Please... Don't they know that their solar panels can recover that energy in under an hour? Thanks for your review. BougeRV has a new solar generator coming out July 10th for about $40 more than the EB3A. They informed me of it, but wouldn't provide the specifications required to compare it to the EB3A. My portable foldable 120W panels gave me 3 cords and adapters to charge multiple devices. I do like that I can charge via USB C AND regular solar with my Oupes solar generator. That's what I wished the EB3A had to make it better. TIP! I trickle charge my big 583 Wh solar generator at 12 watts using my cell phone charger using my USB C power port. ⚡🔌

How much does it cost?
