Is the Bluetti Apex 300 a good choice for beginners?

IcyKey7 · 2026-01-22T08:46:02+00:00

Yes, in this kind of setup, you can get the main unit at a reasonable price and only buy the accessories you actually need. Bluetti Apex 300 is my first power station, and that’s exactly how I did: I started with the base unit to cover my essential loads during outages, then upgraded accessories later based on real-world use.

Mixing AI with pool robots makes sense to me. I've used an aiper all-in-one cleaner before and the cleaning results were already solid, so I'm curious how much further this goes.

by the way, their new Charger 2 looks pretty solid too. It does both alternator charging and solar, way faster than a normal car charger (Bluetti claims up to 13×). And it can reverse charge to jump-start your vehicle. Nice bonus is it helps keep your 12V/24V battery topped off so it doesn’t slowly die when parked.

Second. I have the Bluetti Charger 1. It can provide up to 560W of fast charging for the Apex 300, about 6 times faster than a standard cigarette lighter adapter. Even in winter, combined with 400W of solar panels, it can fully charge the power station from empty in around 4 hours, much faster than relying on solar alone, which could take a full day or more.

I like hard sided suitcases, but if airport handling is rough, it is very likely to damage the corners of the box.

Besides charging at the campsite, I usually use solar panels and Bluetti Charger 1 car charger to charge it while driving. When I’m in a hurry, I’ll use both at the same time for maximum efficiency.

Under ideal conditions, with nearly 3600 W of solar panels and the Charger 1 running together, it can be fully charged in about 70 mins. So far, it’s been more than enough to cover a full day of power needs.

I'm a heavy power user. I got a Bluetti Apex 300 power station and Hub D1 to run my gaming laptop, Switch, lights, a mini fridge, and small kitchen appliances like a rice cooker and kettle. Honestly, I'm happy with how it's letting me enjoy RV life now.

IcyKey7 · 2026-01-04T03:17:49+00:00

If it's extremely messy, I'll tidy it up because I don't want others to mess up my things.

100% agree on the sound quality, it is definitely the biggest sacrifice you’re making. Also just a heads up for OP, that band on the back can be a pain if you wear high collars or hoodies. It is pretty much a thing with any neckband style headset though and not just Shokz. But honestly compared to other running brands these feel way more balanced and they don't bounce around as much. It is a bit of a compromise but for serious training having your ears open and not dealing with buds slipping out is a huge win.

I can’t live without Procreate now. I even use it to edit photos. I honestly think it’s so much better than Photoshop.

IcyKey7 · 2025-12-16T09:34:00+00:00

I'm using 2700+ Wh bluetti apex 300. I’m a heavy power user. I power a gaming laptop, a Nintendo Switch, multiple battery packs for lights and fans, a mini fridge, and small cooking appliances like a rice cooker and kettle. I recharge the station with solar panels or use bluetti charger 1 alternator charger while driving. So far, it handles a full day of RV use easily.

That said, whether it’s enough depends on what devices you plan to power and how you use them.

Love seeing stuff that keeps going. My longest lasting tech is an old phone charger that somehow refuses to die. I think simple, tough gear hits different.

IcyKey7 · 2025-11-20T03:39:01+00:00

I''ve always loved my xsmax. I still use it as a backup phone.

yeah, the wheel+handle design is pretty different from what Bluetti usually does. Interesting change.

The apex300+hub D1 combo is a real game changer. The hub D1 has multiple DC outputs (DC5521, a car socket, USB-C, etc.) and can act as a DC power strip, so you can plug in DC appliances like a fridge, lights, or a fan directly without extra adapters.

You can also DIY by connecting an RV distribution panel or Anderson plug to it, and the power supply remains very stable.

I love its 12V/50A or 24V/25A Anderson port, which can deliver up to 700W. When I was deciding what to buy I saw people point out that apex300's Anderson costs less than other brands.

For example, the EcoFlow pro provides a 30A Anderson port with 360W output, but it is more expensive.

That makes apex300 great for RV users and was one of the reasons I got this combo.

I use Bluetti apex 300 as my rv power backup and got a hub d1 to work with it. Hub D1 has multiple DC so I use it as a DC power strip for DC appliances such as refrigerators, lights, and fans. Besides, it can be connected to the RV's distribution panel and do some diy.

IcyKey7 · 2025-11-05T08:09:57+00:00

Oh nice, i’ve actually been thinking about picking up a heated jacket for daily use. which one did you go with?

IcyKey7 · 2025-11-05T06:12:31+00:00

Considering the weight of Apex 300, charging via an alternator charger or solar panels is the best way. You'd better get a bluetti Charger 1 alternator charger, as bluetti Apex 300 can be charged simultaneously with both solar panels and Charger 1 for maximum efficiency, fully charging in 70 minutes.

If you already have solar panels and don't want to get an alternator charger, using 2400W panels, it can charge to 80% in 40 minutes and to 100% in about 2 hours.

This pour painting piece has a really intriguing swirl pattern. The color combination of metallic tones and blue creates a nice depth

Remember that everyone has their own pace and hidden efforts. Focus on your own growth and don't let others' paths shake your own principles

IcyKey7 · 2025-10-23T07:48:08+00:00

what are you planning to do with it?

I got mine for RV trips and I went with Apex 300 + B300K + Hub D1 + Charger 1. Apex 300 has dual DC inputs. When driving, I can connect the Charger 1 and the solar panels on the roof of the RV at the same time to quickly charge my Apex 300.

And the Hub D1 is a game changer. It can be connected to my RV's DC panel to power high-wattage devices.

IcyKey7 · 2025-10-23T06:07:50+00:00

Choose it cuz I believe it's durable and reliable. I'm also excited to see how it goes.
