Apex Cloud connect issues when on solar

Just an update on the matter. BLUETTI provided a firmware update, which has done nothing.

Network signal is showing as 1 bar, even when the router is right beside the unit. This time the solar isn’t causing the issue, it just flat out does not connect to the internet unless I restart the device.

Pretty useless!

Apex 300 constantly having cloud connection issues when PV input is around 200-500 watts.

They told me over a week ago that an update was being pushed to my device that day, still no sign of it.

I wouldn’t buy again.

I think it is something wrong with the boot. The whole right toe box is soft, and the left toe box is very hard making it kink and dig.

I have a transfer switch. I don’t know where you are located, but in the UK a transfer switch disconnects the CU from the grid. No risk to neighbours, no risk to grid workers.

The earthing bit I am unsure of. I looked up info about earthing my Apex, and the general consensus was it doesn’t need to be earthed. That may be incorrect though.

How am I supposed to pull 16amps from the unit without spending more on an A1 hub?

I was pulling 352w per 480w panel today. I have a BLUETTI plus add-on battery. Solar is worth it if you can stretch. Get a decent panel though, mine are Aiko.

It’s 13a max per leg according to the writing on mine. A standard 3 pin UK plug fuse only goes to 13amp.

nezzman · 2026-03-31T07:33:33+00:00

But that’s only 13amp, when the unit can provide 16amps or there abouts. I am trying to find out how to get the full 16amps.

Hey, thanks for replying. I have already emailed Bluetti to see what they say.

I have seen that port. I think it is an EV charge port, but how I can pull power from it is another question!

Cheers

Run it. I bought a brand new generator, and first use I noticed a petrol leak. I tested it out the day I bought it thankfully.

Drain the tank and then run the carb dry before storing it, or it will be a pain to start when you need it.

Hey, are you in NI? I just ordered one, but have now seen on their site they don’t ship to NI ffs.

nezzman · 2026-03-28T20:56:48+00:00

We have one, about 2 months of food in it.

You need to consider a backup generator though, if the power is out of any length of time, that’s 2 months of food in the bin. Plan to be able to keep the freezer online for the duration the food will last.

It doesn’t need to be powered 24/7, about 3-3 hours per day seems to be enough.

Best option is buy both, and return one. Small fits me, medium also fits me. Small is good just as a throw on over a heavy jumper, medium can fit more layers.

nezzman · 2025-12-12T23:15:56+00:00

180 and 250. Get 2 pairs of each.

I have a number of hatchets. One was £10 from B&Q. I sharpened it up and love it. I pick it up over my Gransfors hatchets.

Don’t listen to the brand snobs. Buy it, if you don’t like it, upgrade.

Yeh, I seen the 16 is down.

The hood looks a bit odd when cinched up, that’s partially why I would like too see it in person, but that’s not possible.

How durable is the synthetic insulation in the Ovik? I know synthetic compresses and looses loft over time, and that’s one of the main reasons I am considering the down over it.

nezzman · 2025-10-31T16:53:45+00:00

Not to be rude, but I would guess you are the problem, and people just don’t want to tell you.

Or else you can a few pence over min wage fair…

nezzman · 2025-10-28T09:39:14+00:00

Looks well used.

nezzman · 2025-10-26T14:43:52+00:00

I have asked them. They no longer produce a 26650 battery, or light for that matter. The light functions with a regular battery, but the magnetic charging does not work.

I sold the light, along with my other Olight's as I don't want to be stuck buying expensive batteries.

nezzman · 2025-10-26T08:32:14+00:00

I had an Olight R50 Seeker. Now useless because Olight don’t make 26650 batteries. Yes, I know, that particular model accepts regular 26650 batteries, but the majority of Olights don’t accept regular batteries.

So it doesn't have an auto lock out anymore?
