RV FEATURE
Bluetti was kind enough to invite me to participate in its pre-release beta testing group to see just what this new Charger 2 can do.
MORE ALTERNATOR OUTPUT
The new Charger 2 can charge at rates up to 800W when just using input from the car’ s alternator. That’ s an increase of 260W over the old model and delivers over 30 per cent faster charging. For smaller power stations, that may not be a huge deal, but if you have a unit over 1000Wh in capacity, it’ s a welcome change.
The Charger 2 now provides support for smart alternators by providing a special connection to communicate with the alternator and adjust charging for maximum efficiency.
I tried the Charger 2 on multiple Bluetti power stations. All worked perfectly.
COMBINED CHARGING
The Charger 2 adds up to 600W of solar panel input that can be combined with alternator input to deliver up to 1200W to recharge your large power stations much faster than ever before. These days, many caravanners will fit a solar panel to their tow vehicles as a permanent fixture, and this can now be incorporated into the Bluetti system seamlessly, without any need to change cables.
The Charger 2 will also allow the solar input to continue charging even with the tow vehicle’ s engine switched off. As someone who has used portable power stations extensively, I can say the convenience of this feature cannot be underestimated. In fact, it prompted me to totally reconsider how my tow vehicle electrical system is configured. I can see some rewiring work in my future.
