Review of the Bluetti EB240
Updated on: 29 November 2023
– At A Glance –
High Power
1000W of continuous power and 1200W of peak power from a 2400Wh lithium battery.
3 Charge Modes
Offers a flexible charge modes, with AC wall outlet, Solar Panels and a generator.
8 Power Outputs
8 power outputs – 2xAC 110V (max 1000W), 1xPD Type-C, 4x5V USB and 1xDC12V (9A).
12V Outlet
The 12V power outlet is regulated to deliver a constant voltage as the battery state decreases.
High capacity battery
A high-capacity portable power station equipped with 2400Wh battery storage producing 1000W continuous and 1200W of surge power for long-lasting runtimes on various items of your equipment. The EB240 can provide you and your home with a reliable system of versatile energy storage at any time while on the go out enjoying recreational activities or indoors when the power goes out.
Clean and noiseless energy
As an energy storage system, the Bluetti EB240 is a clean alternative to a gas-powered inverter generator. Some owners have even found it to be a great additional backup to their Gas/LPG portable generator when needing to have access to only limited power.
Among its many features are:
- Industry-leading Outputs Including AC and 45W USB-C Power Ports
- Ultra-safe Lithium Battery (NCM – Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt and Manganese – Chemistry)
- MPPT Built-In for super-efficient charging
- Intelligent Cooling Controller
- 3 Charging Methods (Solar Panel, generator, and an AC Wall Outlet)
Recharging Methods
Have the freedom to choose how you want to recharge the device depending where you are or where your journey takes you (solar panels sold separately).
Solar Charging
Foldable and portable, the SP200 and PV200 200W (paid links) are two of four varieties of solar panels made by Bluetti. They both have a high conversion efficiency (of up to 23.4%) and perform better than polycrystalline solar panels in low-light conditions. Weighing in at 16.1lbs, it’s ideally suited to the EB240, which comes with the required MC4 connections.
Regulated DC 12V Outlet
A regulated 12V voltage ensures you get 12V as the battery pack voltage reduces, so appliances that demand such a voltage won’t be subject to a shut down when the voltage output reduces.
8 Power Outputs
Equipped with 8 power outputs composed of 2xAC 110V (max 1000W), 1xPD Type-C, 4x5V USB and 1xDC12V (9A) allow you to power a wide selection of your appliances.
You can find more information in the User Guide for this model. (Note: It’s the same one for the Bluetti EB150).
Frequently Asked Questions
What can this device power?
You can power a wide selection of your appliances provided the total wattage does not exceed 1000W. Trying to go above this limit will result in an overload and the unit will shut down.
How long is the life of the battery in this model?
All lithium-ion batteries degrade over time when recharged too frequently. But rest assured that the battery built into the EB240 will last for at least 2500+ cycles.
Can I use a 200W Solar Panel with this model?
Yes, for example dual Bluetti SP200 solar panels in good sunlight will recharge the EB240 in 9 to 9.5 hours. In terms of a third-party solar panel, note the maximum output current ≦10A, and maximum input power ≦ 500W.
What limitations does this model have?
Ensure that appliances are within the power rating of the EB240. Do this by noting the running wattage of each of your appliances and only connect a combination of appliances that fall within the capacity of the power station. Some appliances have a higher starting power, often much higher than the nominal figure. The EB240 has a 1000W continuous power. The peak of 1200W is only for initial bursts of power.
Can I use the power station while it is on charge?
Yes, it outputs power even when the unit is being charged.
Is the unit really silent?
The unit has a cooling fan that is only really audible when standing very close to it.
