Hi Carol. I ordered your book some days ago and thought it downloaded but I can’t find it anywhere. Could you check please, and give me any pointers re: downloading because I’d like to order more. Thanks. Also I don’t see any way to contact you except by leaving a comment here.

Found it! In my junk folder… I was hoping there would be more specific info about your solar battery backups. Is that in another guide? Thx

I’m glad you found it. I have a post that talks about solar battery backups.

I am in favour of the Bluetti. I bought a Bluetti 100 (1800 watt) regular price was $799 , but I paid $449 plus tax of course on a fall special sale, They have special sales 2 o 3 times a year. The reason I like this model is because it has pass through charging, meaning it makes power as you are using i t. You could leave your refrigerator going while charging it and never run it down. This model powers computers, phone, tea kettle, hot pot for cooking , toaster, essentially all of my basic needs. I have USB fans, vacuum cleaner, power banks (small usb) and it powers all of them. Bluetti will not run down to 0 %.

I purchased a Grecell 1000 watt generator and I’ve let it run to 0 % and I can’t get it to recharge. I’m too busy to watch the power, so I wouldn’t recommend this brand to anyone. The company has good customer service and replaced the generator twice was it was under warranty. Not it’s out of warranty and what I understand the lithium battery is damaged.

This problem doesn’t happen with Bluetti. It has stopping point built inside the unit, so it will never go to 0%.

If you have anymore questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you,

Carol
