Powering Your Life When the Lights Go Out - BLUETTI EB3A Power Station

- We often find ourselves far away from a source of power, so we decided to get a portable power station, and we were excited when contacted by BLUETTI to test out their EB3A model. We plan to use BLUETTI to extend our range on the Wilderstead, when we are on longer foraging trips like when we go pick blueberries, when we are fishing or camping, and finally as a back up for when the power goes out.

In this video we ran the unit through a bit of an experiment. We started by putting the BLUETTI EB3A to the test by using it to make coffee and a breakfast sandwich. While eating breakfast, we tested our ability to stay entertained and informed by watching some TV. We also checked out items that need uninterrupted power in an outage including an incubator and the chicken water heater. To test the usefulness of the BLUETTI on the property, we consider its ability to run the water pump for the garden, for charging our power tools, and for charging an electric cooler to have cold drinks on the go.
The EB3A has a variety of input and output ports, including 2 AC outlets, 2 DC outputs, 2 USB-A ports, 1 USB-C port, one 12V DC port, and even a wireless charging pad on top. This means that you can charge multiple devices at once. There is built-in LCD display that shows you the battery level and input/output status. The Bluetti EB3A weighs just over 10 lbs, which makes it fairly light and portable. It's also equipped with a solar charge controller, which allows it to be recharged using solar panels. The unit can be fully charged in around 1.5 hours using a wall outlet and 2-3 hrs with solar panels. Adaptors to either charge it with your vehicle or solar panels need to be purchased separately though.
Overall, we think the BLUETTI EB3A is a great inexpensive option for anyone who needs portable power station. While the small size means that it has limited power output and capacity; the fast charging, portability, and multiple outputs make it a versatile and convenient device, whether you're working on projects on your property, camping, fishing, travelling, or just need backup power for emergencies.

I just bought one of these (like 10 minutes ago) from Amazon for $198 4th of July sale. Intend to use it for 2-3 day camping.
Best review I’ve seen yet
This is the best review of the Bluetti.
As of today the eb3a is 200 dollars on amazon. Good video.
Wow!!!! Great video, so helpful.
We've been thinking of getting one of these for our off-grid cabin to power some LED lights. Thanks for the info on the Bluetti! Great taste in TV programs, by the way ;) Thanks for the mention!
Great review thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome solar generators 👍 I use 2- 500 watt solar generators, Energizer Arc5 and Jackery 500 with 2 panels. Always keep 1 fully charged via sun or wall outlet. I've been up north, Sudbury, North Bay,Timmins...ect for a week or two and never ran out of power...charging your phone,laptop, small LED TV...ect. I'm planning on investing in a 1500 or 2000 watt generator in the near future, most likely go with the Bluetti. Thanks for the share 👌
We are definitely thinking of getting one of those smaller type units. We have about 4 big generators but something small and portable is so useful.
Definitely. Especially for camping.
Very cool!
They’re really neat little units! We have a bunch of the smaller power banks that travel with us everywhere for charging cameras, phones, etc. It’s nice that this one single unit will replace some of those.
Cool unit, would be great at the fishing camp!
Definitely!
Hi Amanda I have a EB3A that works well for me, I use it a lot for smaller jobs
that I don't need more power for👍
Thanks for sharing!
Hello my friends. Bluetti is a top brand. . Great choice . I live totally on solar power but I can see how handy this would be from a portability standpoint.
We agree!
Great review, l have a different unit l use as a backup power
Great video. Ypur voice is easy to listen to
Glad you think so!
I hook a 12 volt tv on it with a hdmi cable connect to my mobile it works great 8 hour tv.
This would be very handy for when we’re at the sugar shack Etc too 🍁
For sure. So many uses for one of these little things. Bringing it and the tv/chrome cast setup out onto the lake to keep us entertained while fishing in the hut was the funnest experiment yet 😂
@@Wilderstead I pointed that out to Joe they’re watching tv ice fishing 🤣and we laughed lol
@@joeandsueoffgrid and we were watch ice fishing while ice fishing 😂
@@Wilderstead 🤣🎣
Today is the Friday 14th July 2023 and I have just seen an advertisement show casing there new model. And I must say I’m jealous because in the UK awe don’t have anything like this. Which would be brilliant when we have power cuts…..
This thing should made so that the battery is easily accessible for replacement
U can also use a expansion battery backup b80 806 wh. Making it over a thousand wh
Did I miss it? How $$?
Smaller units like the EB3A run from around 300$ to over 1000$ depending on the size of the unit and accessory add ons. There are much larger bluetti units that have far more power and come with a larger price tag.
ex[ect it to fail within a year and returns sucks you have to wait for it to get to them before they even ship you a new one.. even if you prove you sent it.. i wont buy another one from this company at all
