BIGGEST 2400Wh Power Station & Solar Generator - NEW Bluetti EB240 - Portable Backup Power

if you're looking for the biggest amount of power that you can take with you this is the video for you because I'm gonna be showing you a unit that is absolutely massive it can run all sorts of things you would never believe that a battery powered generator could and I put it through its paces give you the specs but I show you some real-world uses that you can see for yourself and decide if this might be something for you the product we're gonna look at is the blue Eddy EB 240 made by Mac's Oak and this thing is rated for 2400 watt hours in 1,000 watts but wait a second because they just said watts and then I said watt hours so what is the difference of these things and why do you even care well you care because it's your money and if you understand what this thing puts out you'll know if it'll work for you or not before you buy it and let's start with watts now watts is really important because that is the maximum amount of power you can run at any given time so that could either be a hairdryer that's a thousand watts or 10 computers that are a hundred watts each and it's kind of like the speed in your car it's the maximum speed that the car can go but that doesn't tell you how far you can go and that's where we get into watt hours now you want to think of watt hours like the size of the gas tank in your car if the tank was bigger you could drive for longer and that's exactly what watt hours mean it means that you can technically run 2400 watts for one hour now that doesn't sound like a lot of power but this is one of the largest on the market now the rest of this review I'm going to show you real-world examples of what you can actually do now even though you're carrying a huge amount of power around it's pretty light of 48 pounds and you can do it with one hand using this rubberized handle and all of that power is generated using pure sign technology for the cleanest kind of power you can get and with 2400 watt hours you'll be running for a very long time before we do anything we've got to get the unit charged up now inside our lithium-ion batteries and get them charged you can use the included charger and plug it right in the front and it takes about 15 hours to charge completely the display in the front shows you the input wattage and it also shows you how far along the charges here's an even better option you can go completely solar and never plug-in at all this thing can connect to all different kinds of solar panels large and small and this lets you go completely wireless you can go off-grid and this has a built-in MPPT controller so it's totally self-contained now depend on what kind of solar panel you use is gonna determine how fast you can charge the unit up now I know that specs matter and that's why I included them but what I want to know is what can I actually do with this thing first let's turn the unit on you do that by holding the power button until the front display turns on you can also independently control the AC and the DC plugs now this is really handy if you're gonna use it for a built in installation like a tiny house or a camper this works out really well for USB ports and they're all high amperage ports but this is the one that really made a difference for me it's a USB C port that means you can plug it right into a laptop and charge it directly without an AC adapter your other ports in the front include the input port for charging and you've also got this DC port which is the standard cigarette lighter and you can use this to power things only you can not charge the unit using that plug on the back we've got the exhaust for the cooling fans now this fan only operates when needed so that makes it a lot quieter and in addition you've got two outlets on the back that you can use for up to a thousand watts now I would've liked to have seen more outlets but these do the job and you could plug a strip in from more outlets if you needed them now even though this thing is big I wanted to start off small just to make sure it actually worked and that included this little 250 watt heater I plugged it in had no problems whatsoever and the display measured exactly what the unit was drawing now many of you use these in RVs campgrounds or eating things like tiny houses so being able to run high wattage appliances can make a real difference and as they prep the coffee and got everything together I finally got to turn the unit on and waited to see what would happen I really expected something to go wrong at this point but instead the thing just did its job the coffee maker was drying about 650 watts and you've got to keep in mind two heating elements inside this machine there's one that boils the water to make the coffee but the second element is running a little hot plate that's underneath the glass carafe but after a few minutes you can see I just saw steam coming out and the coffee came out just fine I wanted to do an even bigger test and I'm gonna start with this this is an a blue thermal electric cooler it plugs in using a standard cigarette style plug it only draws about 60 watts but these things are really handy and you might use them in a tiny house or a campsite whatever you put inside will stay cold using that thermal electric fan on top with the thermal cooler running we want it to do something even bigger and it doesn't get much larger than an electric hot plate now the single burner unit draws about 900 watts and remember we can only run a thousand watts maximum so doing this test should really see if this thing can do what it's supposed to and you can see in the display were drawing 60 watts DC and about 900 watts AC so this is a huge draw and we're almost at maximum output and this wasn't just some fake test I wanted to see if I could really cook so I broken a pan and decided I'd make some eggs and see if this thing could actually get the job done this test for the eggs was perfect because he ever made eggs you know you've got to cook them slowly if you want them to come out good and I wasn't gonna brush anything because I wanted to make sure the blue Eddie would work and I also like when I make a video to make sure that if you do this test yourself you'll get the same result and this brownie had to run for a while and it took a little time for the eggs to cook and they ended up coming out really well but the most important thing of all was look at this even after making the coffee the eggs and this thing was running in total for about an hour I still had only dropped about one bar and power so that's a really good real-world example I had such a good time doing that test that I wanted to do one more and that was to see how portable the battery generator really was so Kyra and I drove down the beach we took all the same equipment that you saw and we hooked it up inside of my truck now I know cooking inside a vehicle probably isn't the smartest thing this is kind of a real life situation and considering it was almost 35 degrees outside it was really too cold to do this and other way what do you think and with Kira's seal of approval I have to say I was completely amazed by how well this worked I fully expected the coffee maker of the hot plate we're just gonna trip something inside and it would break down but that never actually happened but the even more important part is if you're gonna use this for an RV a camper a living off-grid this thing could really work and it's one unit you just have to buy one thing it is everything inside from the controller to the watt-hours you want now these are not cheap and they are about two thousand dollars but if you compare that with other ones it's actually pretty well price considering the runtime so I hope you enjoyed this video got you to see something you may never have seen before and most importantly you got to see a real world use for something and that's what matters so I hope you agree and if you do please like this video subscribe to my channel
