The BLUETTI AC70 charging station is a portable assistant that can be taken with you on a trip, as well as used for everyday work and household needs during blackouts. It will not pull all household appliances, but it is still possible to boil water with its help (find out how!). Long-term support of a computer or laptop is also a formidable task for this machine.
The BLUETTI AC70 charging station is a portable assistant that can be taken with you on a trip, as well as used for everyday work and household needs during blackouts. It will not pull all household appliances, but it is still possible to boil water with its help (find out how!). Long-term support of a computer or laptop is also a formidable task for this machine.
Here is a detailed overview of the station.
So, the BLUETTI AC70 portable charging station has a rated power of 1000 W. This means that you may be able to connect electrical appliances that consume more than this figure (in PowerLifting mode), but they will not work for very long. The station has a peak power of 1500 W, which the station can withstand for a very short period of time. It is needed, for example, in order to start some engine.
The battery capacity of the station is 768 W/h. The station has two powerful type-c ports of 100 W each. And it is also equipped with two type-a connectors, ports for connecting a solar battery and a port for a cigarette lighter. There are built-in fans on the sides of the station to cool it during operation and charging.
The station can be controlled via an application on a smartphone via Bluetooth. In this way, you can switch AC and DC modes, monitor the operation of the station, turn on and off its additional functions. You can share access to control the station to someone in your family. You can also set a password for Bluetooth access. He will not allow outsiders to operate this station. The app also allows you to update the software when the company releases new versions of it.
10.2 kg is still such a weight of the station that it can be carried, for example, in a backpack. And it will be realistic.
This station must come with a cog to ground it (there is a special place for it on the side panel of the station). It is required when using the station in the field. In the apartment, this screw will not be needed, because grounding must be present in the household sockets.
There is a cable for connecting the solar panels, a cable for charging from the cigarette lighter, an AC cable for charging the station itself. And, of course, there are instructions.
The station is capable of charging quite quickly. In silent charging mode, for example, while sleeping, it will charge for 3 hours and 30 minutes at a power of 230 W. Standard charging takes a little over two hours — it takes 380 W from the network. There is also a Turbo mode. This is the mode when you need to charge the station very quickly — in a little more than an hour. For example, you are on the road, stopped at a gas station and while you have lunch, the station can be almost fully charged. And you can use it again.
The station can also be used as a source of uninterrupted power. It switches in 20 milliseconds. So if you use it as a UPS for a computer, this time will be more than enough to keep the PC from rebooting one more time.
Despite the relatively small power of the station, it can be used as a source of charging small gadgets — mobile phones, laptops, tablets, to support the operation of the modem and ONU. Such a station is enough to support a home PC during blackouts. Of course, if you don’t have a lot of power. In this case, the station will not last as long as we would like.
Boiling a kettle with this station will be problematic. As a rule, it consumes 2000-2400 watts. And it will be too much for her. Yes, the station has a Powerlifting mode, which theoretically allows you to connect more powerful gadgets. But even with it, our kettle refused to work.
Although if you take a kettle with a low power of 500 watts, then you will certainly be able to boil water. The charge will still remain. Of course, if the station is not used for boiling large volumes of water. One cup of tea or coffee will «cost» about 30 Watts.
So the option of boiling at home is still there.
AC70 tells us that it is… possible. Of course, it is best to use the first speed on your hair dryer. Yes, it is not so powerful, but you will definitely have a chance to go to work with a dry head.
True, the hair dryer will consume almost all of the nominal power — 900 W.
A portable vacuum cleaner will pull the station. But with such consumption, it will be enough only for a short cleaning.
It must be remembered: if the station works at a temperature of zero degrees and below, then it will not be possible to charge it. After all, batteries will not work in the absence of heating. You should also be aware of another feature of lithium batteries — at low temperatures, water will not release the full charge. At a temperature of -15-20 degrees, you will not be able to get 600 watts from this station. It will be about half of that number.
