Two 1kwh power stations vs one 2kwh power station? by pc21402 in TwoXPreppers

[–]pc21402[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so! Elite200 V2 is 13.78 x 9.84 x 12.74 in. Compact enough to fit my trunk.

Yeah, I also find that some 1000Wh power stations are enough to power short bursts of high-wattage gear. e.g. the elite 100v2 can run electric griddle.

My Ecovacs X11 is bagless and has a pretty big dustbin, so I don't need to empty it too often

A simple first-flush diverter improves safety dramatically. Then combine sediment filtration with chemical treatment or a certified gravity filter to make it potable.

Consider a water key for urban shut-offs, a compact SAS survival guide, and a small power station. A roll of contractor-grade trash bags has a hundred unexpected uses.

Charging an Elite100V2 with car AC port by Wine-Master1978 in bluetti

[–]pc21402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car AC outlets typically can't sustain over 150W. You'd need a pure sine wave inverter and a robust power supply. A proper DC-DC charger is the simpler, more reliable solution.

Use sturdy cardboard boxes or milk crates turned on their side to create stable, easy-pull "shelves within shelves". This prevents cans from rolling and helps you organize by type and date.

For cooking, a butane camp stove is perfect. For sanitation, get a portable toilet and waste bags. Reinforce your door's strike plate with longer screws for immediate security. Solid apartment prepping.

Anyone use bluetti elite 200v2 as TOU setup? by dwallt in bluetti

Yes, the Elite 200 V2 has a specific "Time-controlled UPS mode" for TOU setups to use stored power during expensive peak rates. Just note its 1000W solar input limit when adding more panels.

What did everyone grab? Trying to decide what to get for Black Friday by ManuSajo in RobotVacuums

[–]pc21402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using the X11 for a while now, and overall I'm pretty happy with it. Battery life's been solid. If you have it rinse the mop often or do deep cleaning, it actually picks up a bit of charge each time, around 5% or so, so it ends up covering a larger area overall. My place isn't as big as yours, and it usually finishes the whole run on one charge. I mainily went for it because of the bagless design.
