I have been a Jackery person for years now. I just got a Bluetti AC180 because of the incredible sale happening on Amazon. I have been using it with their 350W solar array for about a week now up above Buena Vista in the 4 mile area. INCREDIBLE! Their rapid charging is amazing.

[@tufacker]

Thanks for the review! Question for you - does this charge from the DC input while it's providing power via it's DC output? I ask because I do lots of cross country driving and need a unit that will slow charge via 12v from the car while powering a fridge. The goal being to be able to leave the fridge in the car overnight without it losing power. I have an Ecoflow at the moment that is supposed to do that but for some reason doesn't. Thanks!

[@TrailTraveler]

Yes, because the DC input is used for either the Car plug or the solar panels. You just are not going to get much power from your car's plug. What we did was to add a 600w inverter to the Jeep to be able to fast charge the power station while we are driving.

@@TrailTravelercould you please share what inverter you went with?

@@KoteckiClaus I've been using a Go Power! GP-SW300-12 since 2015 but I will be upgrading it to a more powerful one soon and haven't picked out the replacement yet. Since the current one has lasted 9 years, I will probably try tto find a Go Power! unit as it has been super reliable.
