I hope this is ok to post. I would love one of you small cabin folks to win.

Im partnering with Bluetti to give away a portable power station. As many of you know I put videos on YouTube of my cabin build and from time to time companies send me stuff. I reviewed the EB55 and I find it very useful.

There's someone answering every comment there with "text me at telegram@OntarioLakeSide". Is that you, Ontario lakeside, or a spammer/fraudster? There's a lot of youtube contest/poster impersonation fraud I believe.

It's basically a battery and inverter with recharge options? Neat device, just wondering what I would use it for? More of a portable weekend type power device than something you would use in daily cabin life?

Hey Houska

Thats not me. Im deleting those comments as fast as I can. Youtube needs to do a better job of blocking them.

Paulz, we have a similar device of an earlier generation (and from a different mfr).

We find 500-1000Wh a pefect size for our power needs at a yurt/cabin for weekend use throughout the year, and for longer use in the summer, as long as most of your power needs are modest and 12V/5V (USB). It does have an inverter function but its power losses contribute too much to drain to keep on all the time.

Ours is actually 1000Wh and charges fully in a sunny day with our 200W of solar panels. It recharges fully in any spring/summer week between weekends in our climate regardless of weather. It can fail to fully recharge in a rainy fall week and will not charge below freezing.

If you need full-time reliable power, you need a full solar system. And if your needs are even more modest, a 12V marine battery and small panel might be sufficient and much cheaper. But for intermediate needs it's great. The lithium batteries lose charge very slowly when not being used.
