Ok- dis me all you feel necessary.. for the use of confounded power boxes.. but
I took the (replacement) Bluetti on the trip to Qz.. only to discover that I had (again) no way to charge it. Tried the 2 prong plug and the barrel plug- using 12v direct or the ciggy plug- nope.
Much frustration caused by voltage hurdles.
So- now that I have a lovely 300w inverter (thank you Jessie!) direct off my house battery bank.. I wondered if I could easily charge the Bluetti using the wall-brick. BUT.. I didn’t know the wattage of said brick. And because the inverter is direct wired, I can’t just ‘ask’ my Victron load interface..
Came up with the solution- we have a smaller backup power box. So, plugged the brick into that and then into the Bluetti. LOL.
Answer - 96 watts ish +\- 2
So, Yes- I can charge the Bluetti easily and safely off the inverter. (not that I NEED the extra power.. but it allows me portable power and to use other 120 devices that are beyond the capacity of my 300w inverter)
Well… laugh.. :dodgy:
