    Is this a good deal?

    • impoze on 14/05/2023 - 19:20

      Pretty good with the bonus solar panels

    • MikeKulls on 14/05/2023 - 23:47

      Seems decent.its a pretty small battery though

  • Hybroid on 14/05/2023 - 19:20

    You need to go to the unit's listing, click the $250 coupon then add the SP120 solar panel and it calculates it all when you checkout.

    Does raise the question of why it's discounted so heavily though. The $699 discount on $1,148 RRP is very odd.

    • Play3r on 14/05/2023 - 19:25

      The AC200P is also $900 off, AC200Max $600 off

      Maybe clearing old models.

      • Sleepycat3 on 15/05/2023 - 09:18

        No, it is inflated RRP. The EB3A has always been $449, AC200P has always been $1999 and AC200Max has always been $2699 through every sale and non-sale periods.

    • bamzero on 14/05/2023 - 19:36

      It's only a 268Wh battery, quite small. Also $449 for a foldable 120W panel is a stretch.

      Realistically, wouldn't want to be paying much more than this anyway.

    • Clear on 14/05/2023 - 19:43
      +4

      EB3A is consistently $499 on sale. The only unusual thing is that it's $50 less with a solar panel thrown in.

    • bobvegas on 14/05/2023 - 19:45

      The real retail looks to be $825 for both
      They price jacked the solar panels from $250 - $450 to give an inflated value for the free panels
      The Battery used to be $600, instead of $700

      So end result still seems like a good deal if these are reasonable products.

    • nmartin84 on 14/05/2023 - 21:36

      Doesn't work for me, I get a price over $800 when I checkout.

    How do these compare with EcoFlow? I have an EcoFlow River Max and love it… Upon checking, that one is on discount right now to $999 too.

    Around 25ah - a kmart 600w inverter is around $40. 20ah lifepo4 is maybe $100. 120w foldable solar panel around $120.

  • enzioFirenze on 14/05/2023 - 19:28

    This battery is about 22Ah which really isn't a lot. However, as a closed system with a solar panel, this is great value, just make sure a 22Ah system is enough for your needs.

  • entropysbane on 14/05/2023 - 19:28

    I am curious too if this is a good deal. It might be, I am not familiar. I suspect it is really for phones and laptops etc as it doesn’t really have that much output. A fridge would use it all in a couple of hours. Buuut highly portable and come with a panel. So depending on what you want it for.
    If I was wanting to run a camping fridge, lights etc over a weekend I would probably go an AGM battery for a lower cost but heaps more power. A lot heavier though.

    • bamzero on 14/05/2023 - 19:42

      If you don't need more than 600W, a cheap 100AH lithium (usually 50A BMS limited) can be had for around $300 and a 600W inverter for around $100.
      Not as nice a package but you'll get over 1000Wh for around the same $.

  • Boogerman on 14/05/2023 - 19:38

    Any recommendation for camping in remote areas with an electric car (closest town half a day away)?
    What size battery & solar panels would you recommend if travelling 25-50km per day?

    • tunzafun001 on 14/05/2023 - 20:05

      Take a trailer with the biggest battery you can afford, and a generator as backup. PHEVs come with backup generators built in.

      • Boogerman on 15/05/2023 - 03:43

        Even better - a nuclear fusion reactor with unlimited fuel follows me on the trip. No trailer required.

        • I like freestuff on 15/05/2023 - 13:11

          Legit one day panels will be so cheap and available/compact that can go anywhere and just setup camp, throw a few panels up, charge the car and keep going. Would only ever need to come back when you run out of food/water. Don’t have to worry about range if you can just setup panels for a couple of days.

    This won't power a portable air-conditioner for very long. Would have to get a powered camp site or a bigger battery. I never go camping without air-conditioning.

      This wont power an airconditioner ..period. Not what its meant for.

      This is designed for tablets, laptops, small monitor / TVs.

      Spend $300 more and get 1400w continuous minimum. Opens up a lot more stuff..
      Ie. Cheese toastie machine 750w, coffee machine / basic boiler 1250w. Microwave 1100w etc etc.

        https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/splendid-co-mini-portable-water…

        I'm actually tempted to buy one and see how good/bad it is

        • deadpoet on 15/05/2023 - 11:44

          That "AC" = "air cooler", it's just a fan with some water evaporation mixed in.

      • MindGrenadius on 15/05/2023 - 09:21

        Which one is under $1000 with 1400w continuous? The EB70 has 1000W with 1400W surge.

        These ones are great for small devices but if you want big devices, definitely something bigger is a must

        • tunzafun001 on 15/05/2023 - 12:41

          Went through this with the oldman 4 months ago. There is a chinese built Bluetti equiv that everyone loves. There is a test somewhere with a guy pulling 180 amps out of it. Ill try and find it.

          But in the end it was the physical shape my old man didnt like for hiding away in a van. So ended up building his own. I did give him my 2.5kw / 5kw max inverter I got from Kogan for $230. Been using it in my EV (via the 12v system). Highly recomend. Ran some power tools (in the 900w range all day), then made coffee / toasties for lunch (pulled 2000w for 9 minutes continuous..no probs).

          The biggest issue was finding LPo batteries that allowed more than 50amp draw. Again, the little chinese box was powering an AC no sweat..literally. Wouldnt be long without solar input…but it would do ot.

          • MindGrenadius on 15/05/2023 - 12:47

            @tunzafun001: Oh nice, I'd done a bit of digging when I was in the market for the EB150 I got but didn't see anything about a Chinese alternative. The EB150 suits my needs for what I wanted perfectly but I would love to investigate that further for some bigger options down the track

    Power wise this is a bit under rated ~ this a 20AHr LiFePO4 battery equivalent to about a 40Ahr 12V AGM if you discharge to 50%
    As said you can get some cheapo LiFePO4 100Ahr 12V systems for $300-$400 but life span is a bit variable, Lot of these have unmatched cells as quality is B-C Grade and the BMS has no balancer or only passive and capacity will fade with time. In reality if your LiFePo4 system doesnt inform you of the individual cell voltage that needs to be within 20/1000 of a volt (20mV) at full charge cell voltage 3.5-3.6V then you have have no idea what is going on.
    Grade A x4 100AHr cells plus a battery box and active balancer and bluetooth monitoring can be got for the DIYer for about $700-$800 imported. There is some quality stuff made by people who understand the technology here in OZ - Power Paul on facebook and Muller Engineering but at a premium.

    how do you convert Watts in mAh - What are those battery worth compared to a 20 000 mAh powerbank ?

    • thedragon on 14/05/2023 - 22:23

      Watt Hr / Volt = Amp Hour.

      Assuming 12v. 268wh / 12v = 22.3Ah

    • ATangk on 14/05/2023 - 22:42
      +2

      20000mAh is at 3.7V, so that is 74Wh.

  • MisterNobody on 15/05/2023 - 05:04

    As soon as I see any battery NOT quoting their specs in amp hours, i assume it's garbage. Judging by everyone else comments 20-25ah this is next to useless. Probably ok to power a fridge at a picnic or lights for 1 night.

    • Bii on 15/05/2023 - 05:30
      +1

      You can do a basic calculation based on different voltages. From a 268Wh battery, you can expect:
      * 11Ah with 24v
      * 22Ah with 12v
      * 72Ah with 3.7v (standard rating on power banks)

      So, this should be about 3-4 times the average 20000mAh power banks people use

      • mizz on 15/05/2023 - 13:28
        +2

        It would make it so much easier to compare battery packs like this if every brand just advertised the Wh.

        Instead of having to search around in the tech specs to find the voltage they tested it at…

      • MisterNobody on 15/05/2023 - 15:06

        Right, it's a 12v powerbank so 22aH. Turns out this is close to garbage. They are not simply saying 22aH and giving some other wattage figure you have to convert it's their smoke screen to hide the fact the product is close to useless for any real world use case. If they stated 22aH upfront nobody would buy it.

        Also your "standard" 3.7v based maH (not aH) figures probably hold true at kmart, officeworks, jb hifi where the 3.7v power banks they sell are used for usb devices and don't offer 12v output for camping devices like fridges, lighting…

        Best you can hope for with 22aH with a camp fridge (they use about 1.5 to 3.0 / hr depending on conditions) pre-chilled on 240v is maybe 6-10 hours. More if you have solar but that's a different discussion. So this is suitable for shopping, short day trips, picnics and is overkill for USB devices. Perhaps if could run a laptop or PoS device… not sure of the last 2.

        Go check out tentworld, the smallest they sell is 40aH becuase thats the point where thy start to fulfil any real use case.

        Ok end of rant, I dont like doing this… it's just annoying as for so many years it's been easy… you just buy how many aH you want 40, 80, 100, 120??? Now all these dodgy chinese batteries have appeared and they are trying to confuse consumers into not knowing what they are buying in order to sell their underspec product. Argh.

    • Sleepycat3 on 15/05/2023 - 09:11

      It does under Tech Specs on their own website. Likely it is Amazon and the limitation of what they can fit into their webpage template which omitted it. https://www.bluettipower.com.au/products/bluetti-eb3a-portab…

    • bargainshooter on 15/05/2023 - 08:51

      It can hold 268wh max - and the panel is 120w max (will take at least 2+ hours to charge to full. How big is your EV battery?

      • Sleepycat3 on 15/05/2023 - 11:02

        An EV battery is typically 60000 Wh. So discharging the full 268 Wh from the EB3A will charge the EV by 0.45%

  • MindGrenadius on 15/05/2023 - 09:17

    I have a similar small iTechWorld unit - it's great for smaller devices like phones, laptops, cameras etc for doing multiple with rapid charge/PD many times over vs only a few charges you get out of a battery bank + you have the added bonus of the AC port for less power hungry devices, though if you want to power bigger things like fridges you would want a bigger unit. It's become my go to power bank and have used the AC on a few occasions for things that don't work on USB alone like tool batteries and such or even a high wattage USB-C charger. I use it a lot more than my bigger battery unit that is much heavier.

    Of course the 268Wh isn't much but with a good quality 120W solar as well this is a great deal at this price. Many panels will say 100W etc but they're nowhere close, usually half the stated output - in my experience the Bluetti panels actually deliver the promised output. My dad has the PV200 and it actually does ~195W. 120W solar would power you indefinitely if you were running laptops, phones etc off-grid. Also worth noting this is one of the few power stations that will work as a UPS as well so it can double up as that when not being used as a power station

  • hotphil on 15/05/2023 - 09:24

    This one usually gets best reviews https://www.companionoutdoor.com/rover-lithium-40ah-power-st… No mains out but 40Ah for not muchmore . I picked one up for $300 from Theft Converters. Added an Aldi 200W solar (unit has built-in solar controller) and I can just kind of leave it powering my small fridge, charging iPads, running my CPAP etc

  • Dirkmirk on 15/05/2023 - 11:15

    I don't see a future for these devices.

    AEG have released 58V 8ah batteries which must be 408whr, I anticipate the future is using battery's from tools to add a power station so your not having multiple devices for each use case.

    • MisterNobody on 15/05/2023 - 15:20

      Agree, at 22aH (12v) you just use 4x4aH 18v powertool batteries to get 24aH (12v). 58v or 40v powertool batteries are next level too!

      See Ryobi RYi818B, it's coming to market - holds up to 8 x 18v batteries I personally don't like Ryobi (too many product failures they are blacklisted) but I will give them credit for being first to market with good ideas as times. They have a 40v version too.

      Ebay has a few for other supported brands on noname units, but I can't comment on them.

    Received both and pretty good.
    Will add external battery when require to extend the running time and using the interfaces on the EB3A
    Hope some of you got the same deal.
    I was a bit concern the free solar promotion finished pretty quick. Probably they were clearing sp120 the older model as they are selling the newer pv120.
