WHAT’ S IN THE BOX?
The Bluetti Charger 2 comes with everything you need to connect and mount it to your vehicle and start charging in no time at all. You get the charger itself, heavy-duty battery cable, a 75A main fuse, MC4 input and output cables, XT60 charging cable, a bidirectional charging cable and, of course, a user manual.
If you own an older Bluetti model with the DC7909 charging port, you will need to purchase that adapter separately.
All the components look to be of excellent quality. I especially like the bootlace ferrules on all the wire connections to the Charger 2. These will ensure good, stable and reliable connections under mobile conditions.
You get everything you need to set-up your Charger 2 in the box.
INSTALLATION
The physical installation may take some time to plan and complete, as you will need to figure out the best path to route the main power cable from the engine bay to the power station storage position. That’ s the hardest part. The actual connection and setup comprises four steps, and all the connections on the Charger 2 are very clearly marked. I set-up mine on a benchtop in less than 20 minutes.
Setting up the device on the app and connecting it to my power station was also extremely easy and required little interaction from me. You do need to have some knowledge about what you’ re doing, but it was one of the simpler devices to configure I’ ve used.
I will mention that you do need good connections, especially at the source battery; otherwise, charging performance will be reduced. I found this with the battery connections in my LandCruiser, which are ordinary to say the least!
