You'll Never Run Out of Power Again...

Today we're going to check out a device in an emerging space of power backup, off-grid kind of living

These are the most massive, most powerful power banks you're probably going to set your eyes on

A couple of boxes over there, as you can see. We're actually going to be checking out a modular system from Blue Eddy

which lets you pile together battery modules all the way up over 12,000 watt hours

which is going to provide you with tremendous power in the event of a power outage

or if you're the type that likes to travel, go off-grid. You can charge these things up with solar panels

They're really cool, versatile types of devices. So there's the portable power stations

which are targeted at road trips, van life, camping, film sets we were just talking about

We could get a tremendous amount of power if we wanted to do some sort of a shoot away from the studio

And then they've also got devices targeted for your home, right? These are heavy duty power stations

but these can also be used for off-grid living and van life. These ones have wheels on them

They're meant to be pushed around. These ones have sort of more of a rugged aesthetic, the portable power stations

This is what we're checking out. It's the latest thing, the AC300 and the B300 system, which is a modular system letting

you pile together a number of B300 units, each one over 3000 watt hours up to over 12,000

That's like Tesla's Powerwall, except you can move it around. Of course, you can use it for home backup

You can use it in the event of a power outage. You can also put it in your van, in your truck

You can charge it a number of ways. You can buy different combos from them depending on how many battery modules

you wanna add to your setup. As you can see, you have portable power stations, home battery backup on the other side

So this is like the head unit, which will sit atop whichever setup of batteries

that you might wanna have, depending on capacity and application. This is a 3000 watt AC inverter, 6,000 watt surge

You can add four B300s to create a tremendous stack of backup battery power

Think of it like UPS on steroids with similar power to generator-like power

but instead the electric equivalent. Seven ways to recharge. AC, solar, car, generator, lead battery, dual AC, or AC plus solar

Two at once if you want to get an even faster recharge. 2400 watt max solar input, 5400 watt max fast dual charging

So that's your extra speed if you can do solar and AC at the same time

There's an app to kind of control and see everything that's happening with your device

And of course, this is capable of a home UPS style backup

So here you can see some different applications. This is the tailgate type scenario

You can run fridges, you can run TVs, camping, obviously. This is what it looks like in the variety of configuration

Today, we're going to check it out with one battery unit. We're going to do this setup over here

That's 3,072 watt hours. but you can see how this thing becomes an absolute beast all the way up here when you add four

separate battery modules. Here's a typical recharge scenario from the wall or of course from solar

And then you can actually have 24 seven UPS home backup by putting this in your utility room

having it wired up to your actual panel. You can have your essential items never lose power in the

event of a power outage. They'll just shift over to this battery setup could be in your basement

possibly in your garage. Of course, it's also got all the ports that you would expect on a modern device like this

So you can charge up all of your different devices. Imagine how many times you could recharge a mobile device

when you're talking about up over 12,000 watt hours. These are the little battery modules over here

You can buy them one at a time. You can kind of catch a deal if you get one of the combo setups

on your initial order as well. If you're not in the market for such a serious kind of backup

They do also make more approachable devices that are even more portable like this 716 watt hour 800 watt 200 watt solar capable unit that you can just carry around a little bit easier Maybe more for the hiker types those with smaller packs and the camper types But anyway

they have a ton of products. Look at all the 20 amp max ports that are on there. The 30 amp port

which is also on there that I could use the 30 amp port to charge the adventure van. I call it

adventure van because it's not true van life. I mean, I don't live in the van, but I do go on adventures and I use it often for tailgating as well. Look at the way these things connect together

Look at the seriousness of those power cables. Wild. In this case, it's almost 25,000 watt hours

because they connected two. They connected two full farms. You can also hot swap

So the reason you might want to have a modular system is so you have no downtime. By being able to swap out individual battery units

hot swap them. You don't have downtime, but you can go recharge the individual unit

before adding it back to your entire setup. Yeah, so when you add the inverter

you come to a max 3,000 watt delivery. look at this so you're recharging this unit in 1.5 hours two hours for the enormous 80 80 200

watt setup oh wait a sec so what this is demonstrating here is the ability to charge

it via a gas generator so then you could store that power for later use unlike with a generator

where you have to have it running without the ability to necessarily store it somewhere you can also charge it from our car 12 volt 24 volt so you have dc charging and then we can charge it

off a lead acid battery. So if you have a car battery sitting around, you can actually charge this battery from that battery

to make the power more useful to you because now you have all these extra interfacing options

because you can plug so many different types of things into it. Now they charge it off a wind turbine

or an EV charge station. Cool, man. Imagine you hit up the EV charge station

you charge up your batteries. And then of course, solar, which we already talked about. You can charge it from a solar roof

or portable solar panels, which they also happen to sell. Yeah, this is the one we have, the AC300

Nutty. Eight battery packs. Holy. Got the tools going. Got the shop vac. Got the fan going. Got the saw going

Recharge the batteries going. Yeah, imagine on the job site. We're on the fridge. Microwave. Blender

It's a power outage and you're having a party with the popcorn. What are you doing to the laundry

What? Power's out. Gotta do the laundry. Power's out. I'm gonna go do the laundry

Man, that's one of those things. You do it just because. you're like damn right i can do the laundry with the power out because i got the blue eddy setup

2400 watt max input the portable solar panels and this is what i like i like it on the go i like it

in the truck i like the tailgate i get can run my tv i can run the sporting that's one thing they're

missing in their demo is the sporting tailgating you want to watch the sporting event with your

pals no problem okay so first things first the battery unit that we were just looking at the b300

It has this kind of like rugged design to it with two really large handles

And you might be looking and saying, well, where's all the ports and stuff? So the way that this setup works is in conjunction with the AC300, which sits on top of it

So if we look over here, you'll see there's a big power switch, a USB-A at 18 watts, a USB-C at 100 watts

You have a DC on-off switch, and you also have a battery indicator showcasing how much battery is left as far as capacity

There's different LED lights for 180, 60, 40, 20. And then, of course, we also have 12-volt DC at 10 amps

Now, the way that this unit is going to interface with your AC 300

with the inverter that's going to send power to all your different devices, is over here

And this is also just how we're going to charge this up. This is our inputs. So we have a DC input for charging

Of course, we have AC input for charging. And these are connections into the battery for your AC unit

or for adding even more batteries to the modular setup. okay so for me this is the exciting one because it gives you so many interfacing options i can

imagine having this in the van or having this in the truck or even at home i can plug everything into this there nothing i can plug into it and then i just supply battery to it via the b300 units you can see we have a large display on the front over here we have dc output all volt dc 30 amp

output 24 volt 10 amp look at this bank of 20 amp max household style outlets one two three four

five six now you also have a 30 amp max outlet here this is for your heavy duty appliances or

your rv or your adventure van or whatever you want to plug into a 30 amp max outlet whatever requires

it another usbc 100 watt usba 18 watt times two usba 5 volt dc 3 amp or your less power hungry

devices but four total usba ports one 100 watt usbc port we also have a nice big dedicated power

switch metal looks like it has an led ring around the outside of it up top right here you can see we

We have two separate wireless chargers with a 15 watt output. So this is incredibly convenient

This is exactly the area that would be exposed. All you got to do is just drop your phone on there

Just like that, your wireless charging or your wireless earbuds or whatever it is that you happen to have with you

You can imagine on the campsite, everybody's going to want to be near this thing because they can just plop their devices down and keep them charged up

So these have these little screw on pieces and this is going to be with a gasket as well

So for water and weather resistance in general, this is gonna be your AC input

You wanna charge up off of a typical household. You also have our DC input

This could be charging off of a vehicle or something like that. We have our communication interface at the bottom

This is where you're gonna be connecting your battery modules. The B300 that I just showed you

will link up in this direction. Okay, so this is what our stack looks like

This is how you might have a setup. If you have one battery unit to go with the AC300

I'm gonna power this up first. Next comes here. No, it doesn't because the cable's not connected

So this little cable here is responsible for the communication between both devices

This also has these kind of rubberized caps for durability and probably weather resistance

And the screen has now booted up. It's showcasing the amount of power in the battery bank, 96%

This is a touchscreen as well. So we have our AC output frequency, AC output voltage, DC input source

I mean, we can manage our variety of connections either right on the screen, or of course, we can also get the application and just do it from our mobile device

DC off, DC on. Wireless charging. Sick! This is a way of preserving your battery life and just managing the battery that you have

Obviously, by turning the banks off, you're able to still use this unit without needing to have everything powered up

that at the same time, or needing to unplug everything that you might have constantly connected to this

You can manage it from here. Okay, now we have some bigger devices here to test this out and have a little bit of fun

Over here, I have like one of those coffee makers, a Keurig coffee maker, like an instant one

Just really need your coffee in the event of a power outage. There's even a microwave here

and some microwavable popcorn because you need your popcorn in the power outage

or off-grid, off-grid microwave popcorn. Last up, there's a large light here

That light right there uses around 360 watts. Not as much as some other film equipment

particularly if you didn't have an LED light, but nonetheless, let's do the light first

and go into our first AC port, and then I'm gonna go ahead and just turn AC on

Ooh, running no problem, just plugged into there. This thing is not plugged into anything else right now

We're still 96% battery. Let's just keep an eye on it. They're both actually connected to this single

Power just came to the microwave. We have power as well on the Keurig coffee maker and we have a cup All right here We go battery coffee coming right up 95

Good Lord, it's exactly eight ounces. Oh man That is a battery coffee right there. That's gonna be hot. I'm gonna just let this cool down for a moment

I promise I will sip it but the microwave 1050 watts, that's a lot of watts. So it's a real test here big power

Going two. And we're running right now. 94. What are we going to, is it going to be like one percentage point for a bag of popcorn in a microwave

Maybe. That's the thing. You've got 3,072 watt hours. What if I had four of these

I'm running an entire enterprise with four of these. This entire business. This ceiling here, this whole studio

That's pretty wild. You're not going to need to worry. Seriously. We're living in a new age here. You got your own little power station going

1,433 watts. Now, I suppose we have a couple of other items plugged in

Coffee maker is still plugged in. The light is still plugged in. Let's charge the phone at the same time. Let's turn DC on

Yeah, no problem. We're charging a phone now, too. There you go. Four watts, five watts

You're going to see that go up a little bit. At the RGB light, that's 360 watts

So that's how we get to our 1417. But this baby is 3000. We could be, man, I could be double popcorn right now

You could have your electric cooktop. You can have, in their videos, the people were doing the laundry

That's a hot, that's a hot Kamali right there. There's like butter coming out of it

I got everything that's hot right now because I got all this power. Maybe I'll sip the coffee first and I'll come back to this

That thing is steaming. This is my exactly eight ounces of battery coffee

Mmm. It tastes so much better than wall coffee. I prefer completely portable battery coffee from now on

How are we doing for power? We're at 92, 196 watts. is the current load on ac 10 watts on dc and the app is showing you anything that is pulling power

at any given time so you simply check on here and you can also see obviously your battery percentage

is on there so you can track and turn off any of these ports if you want to manage your power oh and

of course it'll also show you incoming power via either solar or from the grid it'll show you that

this thing itself is charging up but you can see this light at like 200 watts or whatever it happens

to be pulling at the moment. Yeah, 196. I mean, it's not really touching our power consumption

And the microwave, which is over a thousand watts to make some popcorn

knocked it down a couple percentage points. This is true off-grid living

It's true power outage survival. And that's with only one B300 unit

And of course, we can expand this. So I don't think there's gonna be any panic

in your household if the power goes out. Wireless router going into here for internet

Little bit of lighting. definitely not 200 watts worth you don't even need that a little bit of cooking and some hot drinks

and whatever else create a little camp i mean you can get the video games going they don't even use

that much power playstation hooked up a small display and run it for a long time or expand it

if you're a power user you want all your luxuries even in the power outage even off grid even in the

adventure van it's the biggest battery bank that i've ever looked at by a lot that's it right there

I had a Bluetti, AC300, and B300. Oh, popcorn. I almost forgot about popcorn taste test

I had battery coffee. This is battery popcorn. It makes it delicious

Off-grid. It tastes like van life. It tastes like a Mercedes Sprinter

It tastes like a Ford Transit. It tastes like an RV. It tastes like a Winnebago

It tastes like a tent. It tastes like Mount Kilimanjaro. It tastes like Algonquin Park

It tastes like a Subaru. This thing is cool. This thing is cool. Whatever

Like, tell me it's not cool. That thing is cool
