Solar to BLUETTI AC70

[Alan Nelson]

I have a Bluetti AC70 which I want to connect to my solar panel following an upgrade in panel output but want to retain the dual battery charger facility that I currently have from the system but the controller has no output for load.
Is this straight forward to do and if so how is it achieved.
Thanks

You can connect up to 500W of panels directly to the Bluetti because it has a built in controller. However the input can be anything from 12V to 58V and it might be easier to let the panels charge the leisure battery and charge the Bluetti from it at 12V. This will save altering the solar arrangements.

Thanks for that, I’ll take your advice and use the 12v on the van.

Hopefully not hijacking.... How do you find the AC70 in the real world? Thinking about getting one and all the different kw this and that doesn't really tell me how long it will work boiling a kettle or running a hairdryer...

I have the EB70 for home use. You would need a small low wattage travel kettle and a modest hair dryer. With only 768Wh you are going to get less than 1 hour use with even these modest devices.

My Anker 757 used about 2% capacity for a Nespresso Lungo and 15% using an airfryer for 15mins. Also use a toaster which also uses about 1%/min.

I think the Anker 757 has a bigger battery so the percentages will be different.
