EB3A Portable Power Station, 268Wh Solar Generator LiFePO4 Battery Backup w/ 2 600W (1200W Surge) AC Outlets, Recharge from 0-80% in 30 Min., LFP Backup for Outdoor Camping, Trip, Power Outage

I've only had this for a few days now but I like it, really nice display, charges fast and lasts quite a while depending on what you're running with it.. and I was happy to see that I got a solar cable with it.. getting that cable juging from the reviews I've read was kinda hit and miss.. but I bought a third party set of solar panels with it and they'll work with it.. My dad who can be an ignorant old man that thinks it's impossible for the power to go out or food run out even liked it.. Me personally I have off grid solar, wind , hydro and generator but this is nice to have in the car with a get home bag or if the grid really goes I can give to my parents to use, hence that's why I bought the solar panels, for them... Again, it's a nice looking unit, light weight, has the best battery and seems really versitile.. the only bad thing I can say about it is the battery of 268 watt hours isn't all that big, I'm sure it'll run led lights all night long but it's not going to run your house. The 600 watt limit is full tilt and may give you a half hour run time which is really good for a small unit like this but be real and have realistic expectations, understand that this is a supplement power source and will not perform and power the things a gas generator or a large solar system will.. but for what it is it's a very impressive power supply that can get you through a short term power outage and can be easily transported.. or to have power out in the middle of nowhere camping or hiking or what have you.. Definitely worth what I paid for it and with a lifepo4 battery should last a long, long time.. 2500 cycles and still carry 80% of it's original rating can not be beat.. there are bigger power supplies but with more capacity comes more weight and room needed... For me and my wants this little thing is perfect..

The EB3A is a handy little machine with plenty of output power! 4.5/5 almost perfect but down .5 the buzzing fan sounds, even on silent charge mode. First let me start by saying that overall this is a great little machine. I admit I may have not bought this at the $299 retail price, but on sale is is most certainly worth it. I wanted a solar generator that had a greater than 300 watt inverter, LiFePo4 batteries, and in a small package. Most importantly be able to power the battery charger for my Stihl electric chainsaw, which draws 300-400 watts. If it could brew a coffee, that would be icing on the cake, but not expected. I did all those things with no issues. It powered the chainsaw charger at 400 watts. It ran my 1200 watt coffee maker at 315 watts using power lift mode taking 5 minutes to brew a cup. 21% of the battery was used brewing that cup. Others have done it more efficiently using different means of heating the water like a 600 watt kettle. I was just testing what I had on hand to make coffee. I didn’t test faster charging as I don’t see the need to put the batteries under that strain. If anything I prefer using the lower speed “silent” option. Which isn’t exactly silent. Some places online say the EB3A will do it silently, but even in the app it states that it will slow the fan and only reduce the noise. Nothing about eliminating it completely. In silent mode the fan will come on occasionally, depending on external temperatures. You can hear the fan controller buzzing noticeably as it slowly ramps up the speed to the fan. It’s not horrible, but certainly not “silent” either. I did reach out to Bluetti about this and they said it is normal. My hope is that they will be able to reduce this via a firmware update. I’d rather have the fan reach its set speed more rapidly, than have to listen to it struggle to move at the lower speed settings as it is ramps up. Still better than the fan being off or full speed only though! The power output meters seem to work reliably for as far as I can tell. Deviations were no more than a few watts from my Kill-A-Watt meter plugged into the grid vs plugged into the battery for the few items I tested. Not counting the coffee maker obviously. For example a 52 watt incandescent bulb registered as 52 watts on grid @ 120 volts using the meter. With the same bulb connected the meter registered 50 watts on the EB3A @ 120 volts, while EB3A registered 56 watts on it’s display. The USB readouts seemed to line up pretty nicely as well. A 4.4 watt load on my USB current meter showed up as 4 watts on the EB3A, a 10 watt load on the USB current meter showed up as 10 watts on the EB3A. There is also some parasitic load if you leave either of the power outputs on, but it does not register on the display. This would be the case if you left any inverter powered on, and not unique to this device. I have also found if you leave the app connected, the processor stays awake, and consumes some battery power. Best to power off from the app or close the app so it will go to sleep sooner. I was wondering why my EB3A was warm when unused at times, and I found the app was still connected each time that occurred. FYI, this isn’t a complaint, just letting you know of some quarks of the device so you don’t have to figure them out on your own. One thing I really like is I can easily boost the battery with some much cheaper LiFePo4 batteries I have laying around. I got 2 12.8V 42Ah batteries for around $80 each on AliExpress with around 1kWh of capacity total. Put in series they will charge the EB3A at about 199 watts, or about 99 watts in parallel. I figured this would work since it is supposed to charge off of a car from the DC input, not just solar, and was rated for enough voltage to put the batteries in series. FYI the batteries I used have an internal BMS for safety to prevent over-discharge and over-current and would recommend the same if you attempt to boost your EB3A with batteries directly. And if using lead acid batteries with no BMS, using a fuse would be a good idea. Also if you buy any 3rd party DC 8mm cables, make sure the plug is long enough to fit in snugly. I had one 3rd party cable where the plug was noticeably shorter than the other and it didn't fit securely into the EB3A. Please check attached pictures to see difference between the Bluetti MC4 cable and a 3rd party cable. I bought the 3rd party cable because it was heavier gauge wire, but that doesn't help if the plug won't stay in. It worked well on solar too getting around 70 watts input on my Dokio 110 watt folding solar panel. TBH I’ve never seen the Dokio put out much more than 70 watts with anything else so I’m not too concerned of any issues with the EB3A. The solar panel was another AliExpress buy. I’ll have to try charging with a better panel in the future. And while many others have done capacity tests I can say this will run a 75 watt incandescent bulb for about 3 hours, or 225Wh of output. Which given efficiency losses in the inverter is not too bad, but not amazing either. Again I didn’t buy this for huge capacity, my extra batteries + solar will keep it topped off. Overall I’m very happy and would recommend this to anybody who needs a small, powerful, versatile solar generator. But just don’t expect it to brew coffee all day (without some backup) just because it can do it a few times on its own. ;)

The product is essentially perfect. It does exactly what it says it does. Seems very well thought out. But the surprise to me was after 18 months of moderate use the cooling fan failed, and the support and response from the company was surprisingly good. Any product can suffer a failure. So I don’t fault that. I initiated a contact with their support on a Friday before a Holiday weekend. In the initial email I detailed the issue, and all the steps I attempted to address it. I got the automated 'we got your email' response one minute later. I got a real response 3 days later (that Monday) and the response came in at 3am. So when I saw that I was crestfallen, as that to me meant overseas customer support. I braced myself to read the reply, expecting the usual delay tactics, requests for reboot, and never ending need to again restate the issue. To my shock, NONE of that happened. The very first response from Anson in Bluetti Customer Support, was that I needed to return the unit for replacement. The email included detailed instructions on the next steps they needed to begin the return process. Anson actually read my email, understood the issue and advanced a solution in the very first contact. There was a bit of back and forth as I fulfilled their requests to initiate the return, but through that process they provided a paid return shipping label and clear instructions. The other thing that surprised me was that their customer support system was much more pleasant to interact with than most others I have dealt with. The initial email I sent, was just an actual email to their support email address. Not a web form with drop down menus and a process to navigate. I was able to compose and attach stuff in a way that I am comfortable with from my native email program. Then the response from them was an email that began with "Your request ###### has been updated. To add additional comments, reply to this email." Not above this line! Just reply. So I looked at the subject and return address, but those were still the address and subject I had started with. No special case number in the subject. No unique reply to address. So again I was disappointed that my reply would get picked up by another customer support representative and I would be forced to play the rinse and repeat game that we so often deal with with overseas customer support. But no, again I was surprised. Each reply I sent, was met with a response at about 3am the next day from Anson. They used FedEx both ways, and even with the 3 day delay to hear back from a real person, I had the replacement unit in my hand 8 days after I sent the very first email. They even followed up to make sure I was all happy, (an automated system generated email) and when I replied to that email, that was not part of the original thread, again it was Anson that answered. Such a shocking and pleasurable experience!

i owned one for 3 years before it finally died completely in one shot. used for shed fan and light ventilation utilizing solar panel. and I take it with me to charge drone batteries on the field using a 60 watt foldable panel. never had an issue with it, the only thing is when it is connected to solar, it will drain the battery somewhat overnight when the voltage gets too low it keeps trying to charge and keeps it awake and using battery. the point is I'm buying the same one again, so I dont have to get adapters for my existing solar panels. buy it, its great and very light. can throw it in a backpack !

I’ve had one EB3a since September 2024, and received a second unit Christmas 2024 as a gift. Used everyday, living in my truck and plugged into solar panels. Time for a solid review. The first unit—brand new and has been plugged into a solar panel on my truck every single day since late September 2024. The battery does the job when it’s fully charged, but what I’ve noticed as the months have passed that the unit will always randomly shut off and die at a complete 0% once the charge hits anywhere below 50%-60%, from powering ONE single device using between 2 to 10 watts, sometimes 0 watts when the device is in “sleep” mode. If nothing is plugged into the unit and the battery is still on, you may see the display go down to maybe 40-some percent(Note: nothing is plugged in). On average, when being used with something plugged in, I’ve literally NEVER seen this unit ever display any number below 50% (Again note: with something plugged in) because it always completely dies..straight to an abrupt 0%. This has happened several times now, and yes it has been properly power cycled numerous times. 2nd unit: December 2024, received a second EB3a as a gift. First used, charged, and also set up with solar in my truck as a secondary power source paired with the other. Has been used every single day up until today in early January 2025, when it presented the same exact problem as my other unit. Powering one LED light only using only 2 watts, the battery display shows 70%, and once again abruptly shuts off randomly! Exact same issue as my other EB3a. After experiencing this issue on my first EB3a, I thought maybe it was because it’s somewhat of an “entry-level” unit in the BLUETTI product line, so I really considered purchasing a bigger more powerful unit within the BLUETTI product line. I’m glad I did not, because at this point after experiencing the same issue on my first EB3a and now my recently new EB3a, I’ve decided to sway away from all BLUETTI products moving forward and I encourage everyone reading this review to avoid using their products as well. I also want to point out that when using the BLUETTI app, there is absolutely ZERO security provided to “mask” your unit when connecting on the app using the Bluetooth feature. Numerous times have I selected the Bluetooth option on the app only to see other BLUETTI units as well as my own showing up on my app! I’m then able to select their unit, see their charge and even turn on and turn off their power ports. Not good. There is also a lot of useless garbage filling the main screen of the app. After daily use and experiencing the same exact issue on both units, I’m going to immediately assume the rest of their products are garbage as well. Waste of money. You can’t rely on consistent power with BLUETTI if this is a regular issue that clearly they’re not addressing.

Not a big camper, off the grid enthusiasts, solar genius or engineer… just a person who doesn’t love gas generators & loves being prepared:) Did LOTS of research on portable power stations, this one has so much value for the price & hasn’t disappointed. We have purchased 2 other brands as gifts for family members (prior to finding this one) 1 of these as a gift & 1 of these for ourselves. We do have a large gas generator for extreme power outages bc we have a well & need the extra power in order to have water available, but this one is great for normal 4-6 hour Midwest outages or for longer ones if u r on city water. Pros: -The fast charge is AMAZING! It does get a little loud from the fan but who cares, all the other brand units take like 6+ hours to charge, this one is approx 1 HOUR!! In a power outage situation that is game changing, I can recharge in my car (car charger sold separately) & be up & running in no time. - the price is great, especially on sale - the batteries have 2500+ recharges, most power stations in this range are only 500-800 - the app (use this to completely turn off unit when not in use so battery stays charged, I read reviews saying it wouldn’t stay charged & im sure it’s bc they didn’t actually turn it off. - ability to run/charge so many things at once (see below for specs on items we’ve used it for) - wireless phone charger (DC charging must b turned on for this to work… lots of reviews said it didn’t work & im sure that’s y) - comes with solar charging cables - lifepo4 battery (doesn’t get hot, reducing fire risk) - can use while charging (a must for solar charging) Cons: - the AC charger is in the packaging underneath the unit, like hiding in the styrofoam. I read lots of reviews that said it didn’t come with one & that’s where it is. - had to buy car charger separate. Things we used it for: -charging phones, laptops, iPads, ryobi 18v batteries, rechargeable AA & AAA batteries, portable power bank -running usb fans, led lamps (AC & USB), tv, mini fridge, 300w heater, electric blanket (both ac & dc), large ryobi fan, inflating aerobed (0% battery used to blow up Queen sz) Things it won’t run: - basically anything over 600w, even though it says 600w, the battery drains fast using 600w. So our 300w heater will run for 1.3 hours. But our 5w lamp will run for 50 hours. It will not run our full sz fridge but ran our mini fridge just fine for many hours. I tried our keurig mini, shut off, but I need to research the “power lift” option in the app more bc I think it will run that. (7/10 update: keurig mini is 1500W so it will not run that type of coffee maker) I did research though, u can easily get coffee makers that will work w/o power lift & 12v coolers to keep ur stuff cold for days that are not much $$, in case u need this for longer periods of time. You can also get a car cigarette lighter electric blanket that will work much longer than the AC plug in kind, basically anything that is DC will run longer than AC powered items. All in all, very happy with this unit. Knowing what u can use it for and what you can’t use it for before buying is important I think. Hopefully my review helps you with that:) 4/9/23: update, I purchased a 60w Blavor solar panel for charging (didn’t want to spend hundreds of $$ on a big panel) At 46-48wh I was able to charge my EB3A from 69% to 100% in less than 2 hours. I did not require the Solar adapter BLUETTI provided, the panel came with a direct cord & adapter for the DC input. I’m very pleased with these results :) 11/17 update: unit still works great. Used it for off grid cabin, trunk or treat decorations & we’ve loaned to family/friends for power outages. It did run a full apartment size fridge for about 4.5 hours with normal door opening. 8/27/25: still works great!

I bought this when I was on sale and let me tell you it has a ton of uses and with the 1200 watt boost mode and it covers most of your things you're going to bring with you camping fast chargers and works really good with the solar charging panels bought separately. the connects to most everything and also connectivity to the app that you can download for free. It's not that heavy either it's lightweight and you could possibly fit it in a bag or a backpack great for campers and RVs as well don't miss out on this product especially if you can catch it on a sale. Also has wireless charging for cell phones and other products that you have and the battery life last year a great deal

My uses cases were initially as a on the go small charging device for car camping and keeping a 12v rv style refrigerator running. Recently between 12/16/25 to 12/19/25 I used it as an inverter/ups to keep the home refrigerator running. Its now making a buzzing noise while charging and it doesn't hold a charge as well as it used to. I've used this nowhere near the advertised charging cycles. pros: -Inexpensive -worked well initially -light weight and portable -bluetooth integration to control from an app remotely and check on system -multiple different outlets appropriate for car camping or on the go cons: -Failed when I needed it the most -Issues with holding a charge. Sometimes it would go from 50% reported power to 0% -Makes a buzzing noise while charging now -The screne will stop working you can't turn on AC/DC. The only way is through the APP -Received several notifications stating that there was inverter overload but power in/out was never over 500watts

Es muy práctico y brinda un excelente servicio como emergencias en el hogar cuando falla el alumbrado público

This BLUETTI EB3A is a great little power unit from a well-known brand in the industry. I have the bluetti AC50S power station and 120w foldable bluetti solar panels from a previous indigogo campaign, and they’ve run great for about 2 years now. This new addition has a smaller battery at 268 Wh than the AC50S (~500 Wh), and to be honest it is quite small, BUT this unit has a bigger 600W inverter (300W on the AC50S). The smaller battery is actually great for carrying around the house, carrying to the beach or picnic spot, etc. The batteries are the heaviest part of these power units, so less battery actually means more portable. This isn’t the unit to backup your fridge or freezer at home for long power outages, for that you want a large and heavy unit that won’t be portable. For this unit, portability is amazing. My girlfriend can’t carry the heavier power units, but this EB3A one she can carry around the house no problem. We had a short power outage and she was able to use this for a light and to keep her phone and laptop charged so she could continue working and keep her phone charged for a wifi hotspot. Also, it’s a pain to carry the big heavy ones for a trip outside such as a picnic or beach day, and so most times I leave them at home. With this unit, it gives me enough power to keep devices charged at the beach or park, run a small fan, provide light, and even run small appliances for short times (bullet mixer smoothy at the picnic!). Take a look at my photos and note that at the BOTTOM of the box under a piece of foam is the power cable. DO NOT THROW THAT OUT. This also came with as solar connector panel.

中古品と言う事で安く買えました丁度軽くて使いやすいと思いますただカーアダプターがオプションなのでべつに購入しました中古品でも展示品が何かで使用感は無く綺麗でした

車中泊で家庭用扇風機を繋いで使用しました。 21時ごろから扇風機を使用し、朝方ぐらいまで使えました。 商品本体のファンが回る音や、その他の騒音など気にならず快適に過ごせました。 SOSライトが付いていますし、災害時にも利用できるのでとても良い商品だと思います。

Se calienta y se descarga aunque esté apagado, a veces no logra cargarse al 100% y pierde carga sin usarlo. Y aparece un aviso de temperatura y deja de cargar si estoy usándolo en ups. Y ya no carga. Tengo que desconectarlo de la fuente y cuando conecto otra vez no carga inmediatamente, se enciende el ventilador. No estoy contento con eso y no puedo devolverlo ni obtener un reembolso, o por lo menos un reemplazo. No es la maravilla que ofrece la marca y no estoy seguro de que bluetti tenga soporte en Mexico. Por lo menos, quisiera un reemplazo. Porque tengo la aensacion de que este producto es reacondicionado (aunque no puedo asegurarlo).
