I haven ' t quite worked out where to mount it permanently, but I ' ll get around to that...
My toaster, on the other hand, posed no such problem for the Bluetti AC70. In fact, my toaster draws from 780 to 920W, well within spec of the AC70 without resorting to Power Lifting mode. In order to give myself an idea of the kind of performance I could expect from this unit, I charged the battery to 100 per cent, which takes about 1.5 hours on AC power from dead flat when using the Turbo- Charging mode, or about 45 minutes to 80 per cent SOC. Turbo- Charging mode is also accessed in the app. There are, in fact, three charging modes: Turbo, Standard and Silent. In Silent mode, it’ ll produce 45db of noise, but it’ ll take longer to charge the unit.
With the AC70 fully charged, I cycled my toaster 10 times on a medium setting, depleting the battery to 47 per cent capacity. Running the toaster another five times brought it down to 21 per cent. The toaster pulled just over 800W each time.
The Charger 1 comes with the cabling required to hook it to your car ' s alternator / battery.
The AC70 has a built-in digital screen that provides at-a-glance information concerning the state of charge, any AC or DC input and of course, electrical output, whether AC or DC.
It contains two AC outlets, a couple of USB-A and USB-C outlets, as well as a cigarette-style 12V port.
Naturally, it can be charged off solar panels, too, with a 500W solar input maximum. But what if there was another way? I’ m being facetious: when it comes to charging batteries, there’ s always another way …
