Found this while looking at LiFePO4 batteries to build a solar system in an overland van conversion. This came to ~$255.xx for me after taxes.

Includes charging cables to charge via car DC port, AC, and a solar connector. I will add a 200watt solar panel ($~150) and I have a complete system for <$400 with 716wh. Enough to run my fridge and fan at night! Found this as an alternative to a "naked" LiFePO4 battery sale (was looking at 50ah) - would have taken more in time/effort/cost to build a system around this vs this unit.

Includes 1 year warranty (although elsewhere in posting it states 2?)

Did you purchase directly from the Bluetti store (on ebay or their website)? They responded to someone that had an issue purchasing from their eBay store on their own forum, and claim to cover these directly: https://community.bluettipower.co...ler/7741/2

Other folks on Reddit report positive experiences as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/bluetti/...shed_ebay/

I rolled the dice and will test upon arrival. I'm optimistic.

Is is the PS72, or the PS54? Some of the specs are for one, and some are for the other. Photos are PS72. Gosh, if they can't even get that part right...

All the specs I went over referred to the PS72. If I don't receive this, I'll report back. I would have gone for the EB3A which is ~$120 after coupon if this one wasn't so cheap.

As promised, an update -

I received the unit fairly quickly, had to 2 complete drain/recharge cycles to get it closer to advertised capacity. My unit was clearly used, it had some debris in the handle indentation. From my testing I was able to power computer/laptop/speakers/lights/fan all day long (10 hours of working), but I will live off of this power supply during some long van traveling, so I need absolute reliability and full capacity.

I decided to return it. But, I am an idiot. I returned it via the eBay messaging flow rather than eBay's returns flow, so they have my money and my unit. Not getting much response, but they do have a customer service number. I mentioned that I'll be filing a dispute (Paypal/CC) if I don't get a replacement unit or a refund soon.

So I probably should have kept the unit and cycled it more, or gone the ebay return route.

I don't have regrets on the purchase, just the steps I took to resolve it, as it will likely become more of a pain to get my money back.
