Bluetti's D40 & AC200L - the 12v power solution for our camper project! It now does everything!
Finally we can link a power station to our existing 12v system, adding in it's 170AH capacity, while gaining the luxury of 240v off grid with the built in inverter! It's almost the perfect solution!!
In this episode we run you through how Bluetti's new D40 connects their AC200L power station into your 12v setup in a ute canopy, RV, caravan or camper trailer. This allows us to finally tap into the full potential of these power generators by linking everything together. If you are starting from scratch, it's worth considering this option over a built in system - remembering you can remove and use in another vehicle, on a job site or even around the home.
This is a great alternative to replacing an AGM battery, or if you need to increase your capacity as it links everything together with no fuss at all. Being a DC to DC charger, it can run independently to charge your existing setup or you can use it to power your canopy or camper with no battery at all with its Load function. This is a real game changer!!
This is all on top of the usual functions of the AC200L power station which brings with it a 2048wH battery capacity equating to 170AH and a 2400W inverter capable of running multiple appliances. Lets no forget one of the best charging systems allowing up to 2400W of AC input and 1200W of solar. This is a true portable power house!
To check it all out, here is Bluetti's link:

There is also currently a discount code for the AC200L: WLPAC200L (A$50 June 28 - July 31)
Which makes it even greater value!

    Great video, thanks. Started working on my self build campervan here in the u.k in March and decided to buy the Bluetti AC200L , my intentions were to power the campervan via this unit with just the addition of 400 watts of solar to charge it. I really didn’t fancy going the Victron and battery route. As you say it’s easy to pull from the van to power anything else in or around the home. The D40 was not available when I bought the power bank but I had heard it was being developed, so I took a chance, last weekend I fitted it to my campervan and it was a simple task, and it does everything I need. I loved your enthusiasm and I have subscribed to your channel. Thanks once again.

    Hi, I have a 2018 Ford Ranger Wildtrak with a manual roller shutter. I have just purchased a Grand Tourer MKIII along with a Universal Kings Tub Rack. The RTT weighs 95kg. Would the Triple M brace kit be enough to support the extra weight or would I need the ERG J brace kit aswell? I have been told it's all too heavy and it won't suit my vehicle. 4X4 supercentre won't do a refund so I need a way to make it all work. Could you please help. My concern is that the outside edge is only aluminium and it won't be strong enough to hold the extra weight and the tub rack will crack under the weight once all fitted. Could you please help!?!

      @@felixalluisious Ford says 25kg. MountainTop says 75kg. MountainTop says 150kg if you install tub bracing. These are dynamic loads... in general, I believe static loads are usually about double that. In practice, I have loaded up my DIY cargo basket (about 25kg) with a night's timber for a big a$$ campfire (maybe another 50+ kg) with NO tub brace and had no issues. I just installed bracing to be able to put on a tub rack, so will see how that changes stuff..if at all.

  • @ottoswinebar
    @ottoswinebar Před 17 dny

    Downside is the price. Great if you use it around home, but I did the sums and you get a bigger capacity if you build your own for the money. Brand specific connections are also expensive. Good video all the same👍🏻

    • @WorkLivePlay
      @WorkLivePlay Před 17 dny

      @@ottoswinebar the Bluetti on special is pretty decent value. This unit is $600 cheaper than the Jackery unit which I was incredibly surprised by. The D40 however is pretty expensive at $400 unfortunately. EcoFlow have been doing specials with their Alternator Charger as a combo which would work well for Bluetti. I am going to do a video on the cost comparison however. One setup will be essentially Kings, another Renogy. The Renogy system is soo close to the Bluetti, it is essentially the same. It's hard though as do you use discounted pricing or full RRP? I will probably have both just to see. I will also throw in the Jackery 2000 Plus and probably add in the AC200 Max seeing as it doesn't require the D40. I have been using the Jackery and now the Bluetti in multiple vehicles and the Journey, so for us it's the best solution. I even took the coffee machine out for a picnic on Mothers Day 😆😂🤣

  • @boxheadmr
    @boxheadmr Před 17 dny

    Is it more cost effective than creating a system yourself with individual parts or is it more the convenience of the system why you went this? (Like a battery box or installed system)

    • @WorkLivePlay
      @WorkLivePlay Před 17 dny

      I did the sums quickly with the Jackery unit and it was within a few hundred dollars using a Renogy setup. I'm going to do a video on all this using the Bluetti as I think it will now be very, very close given the RRP if the AC200L is $600 less than the Explorer 2000 Plus. The huge weakness has been the 12v however now that is essentially resolved, I think this will be a very interesting comparison. I will work on some new figures over the weekend. Cabling and connectors does add up, I actually spent a fair bit on that demonstration board just to get it happening, which a lot of people don't account for. So there is probably $75 or so connecting up the chargers etc if you are buying the heavy cable, terminals etc. Stay tuned. I just need to work out how to not talk so much and compress a video like this down 🤣😂😁

    • @WorkLivePlay
      @WorkLivePlay Před 17 dny

      I will add it's now a lot easier to add in extra capacity. It's reverse of what people have been trying to do in the the power station will feed into the second battery. However in the case of oan off-road setup that's actually how most would have it. It makes sense as you can remove the power station and you still have a fully operational setup via the D40 which can do all the charging. There is a huge amount of potential and quite a few combinations you can now do.

    • @boxheadmr
      @boxheadmr Před 16 dny

      Interesting perspective and keen to understand more. I only really know the build yourself systems, so I'm keen to see more. Some questions would be expandability and also repair/replacement. How easy is it to add more capacity? What happens if one of the internal units fails and how easy it is to get repaired.

  • @southerngentleman5321

    nice If only they had that in older models or some backward capability.. the 12v 10A and cig lighter port was the issue... my ac70 is in storage gathering dust.. they need to improve the IP rating though

    • @WorkLivePlay
      @WorkLivePlay Před 17 dny

      Yes, the cigarette lighter port has been the stumbling block as if you are running a fridge etc it consumes a lot of the output. I don't know how they might reverse engineer however how good would that be?! I absolutely love the ability to run all this out of the 12v. It makes complete sense as that's what most of us use off grid. It's been the one weakness against a built in battery system where you can simply connect up whatever you eant. From a weatherproofing point of view though, I look at it as an expensive asset, so tend to protect and locate where it's not going to get damaged. I've done that with all my power stations. Dust is always an issue though and that's relatively hard to stop if you have a lot of dust in a ute tub etc. There is a fair bit that has to go into an IP rated power station given they need to vent in order to cool the internals. I'm guessing that's why the AC240 is huge, weighing an extra 5kg even though it's capacity is around 500wh less.

  • @shaneallen4042
    @shaneallen4042 Před 18 dny

    Jayco eagle outback with the 200l is magic. Use it to run the van's 240V offgrid and the vans battery runs the lights and pump. Very little use for the 12v stuff on the 200l other than charging phones etc.

    • @WorkLivePlay
      @WorkLivePlay Před 18 dny

      I happen to have a spare early release of the D40 and was thinking about fitting into our Swan, so I could then upgrade to lithium seeing as it doesn't have the compatible J35. Alternatively I was thinking maybe the Journey so I could supplement our current batteries, however we tend to just use it separately anyhow. I'm assuming with the Eagle you are plugging in a cord from the 200L GPO into the power input of the camper? That actually works really well. I have done that with the Jackery a few times. Do you turn it off when you don't need the outlets inside? I never leave it ours on so it doesn't drain down but I'm curious if it would use that much, other than it would potentially be trying to charge the internal battery. It's all very interesting. I really like seeing how everyone is using these power stations 😊

    Good vid, enjoyed. Went down this rabbit hole and it's just best to buy the ac200max. Which I did. In terms of lower solar charge rate. I think It is near impossible to find a 1200w solar setup that will fall within the input specs. If anyone is looking to run a camper and wants max 12v output without the hassles just but the 200max. Appreciate your vid it reinforced buying the 200max was the wise choice.

      I must admit I was originally thinking the Max however as the D40 was just released here, they wanted me to test that. For our setup it will probably work well, however I do wonder if the 12v 30A port of the Max would do pretty much the same without the need for the D40. If the D40 was more like the EcoFlow Alternator Charger, I think it would be a lot more useful or easier to justify. I'm going to keep experimenting with it to see if there are any other tips and tricks or something that might unlock some potential we haven't thought about. I'm certainly not unhappy with it, as it definitely does the job I need though.

      I think its just how it comes out lol. Etti, Yeti it's how it blurs with our Aussie accent. I know its actually officially 'Blue T' however I just can't get used to that as everyone I know refers to them as 'Blue Etti'

    Sounds like a lot work!? How easy is it to swap the 3 way over to a quality camping upright fridge? Also, temp vs temp, which holds better please, 3 way or up right camp, in the 3 way location?

    Question please. I travel on my own. Do you use the bed flys every time you camp? They look like a job that needs to be done with two people

    What size beds are in jayco campers. Are there any lightweight campers with a queen bed.

    Great video, thank you! Do the Mountain Top rack bar's have t-channel's in them? I have a bunch of accessories for my roof platform that would be handy to be able to use on both

    Great video, looking at this style of caravan, but after watching, it seems like a lot of work, plus setup in bad weather, would be a pain, beds wet, and dealing with wet canvas, too much work 😂🤙🤙

    hey there, thank you for the overview. I was wondering if you could still lift up the rack if you were to have the dune gear box lashed to it. Do you think it would hit the sail plane?

    Wow my concern would be some people would not go into too much detail and care so therefore I don't deem them safe in the wrong impatient hands.

    Thank you I have a 2022 16.67 jayco journey poptop and your video inspired me to do the install. Perfect👍🍷🥃🫰. It was a little different to your specs but overall it was the same. Love the videos Rob

    I loved your video. Very informative. I have a 2003 Jayco Eagle pop up trailer. The propane burners on the stove are working. When I light the refrigerator pilot it stays on as long as I am holding the purge button. It is switched to propane. As soon as I release the button, the pilot goes out. I held the button down for three minutes. Still went off when I released it. Should I hold the button down for a longer period of time?
