  • Ultra-safe Lithium Battery (NCM –  Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt and Manganese – Chemistry)
  • MPPT Built-In for super-efficient charging

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.
