Anker 521 PowerHouse vs Honda EU2200i

“The Bluetti AC180 will draw at most 1440W when recharging. The Honda eu2200i will charge it just fine, the Bluetti will get up to 80% charge in 45 minutes. This is actually my strategy for dealing with power outages going forward. I have an Anker Solix C1000 that I'll use to keep lights on, Starlink on, phones charged, and some other basic stuff. When the battery starts to run low, I'll charge it with my generator (Predator 2000 inverter generator). I just had to deal with 11 days without power and having to run the generator to get internet and charge our phones was a pain in the ass.”

“Wife and I each have one of [THESE](https://www.anker.com/products/a1695-anker-power-bank-25000mah-165w?variant=44320657997974&ref=power-banks) from Anker (best battery backup I've ever used) and then [THIS](https://www.ecoflow.com/us/river-pro-portable-power-station) big boy from EcoFlow with a couple fold out solar panels. Done us great through multiple trips and power outages. Pretty much my perfect setup, not sure what I could improve if I wanted to beyond more solar for faster charging, maybe another big battery unit (they can daisy chain) but I haven't ran the one I've got dead yet so it's clearly not pressing. We also have [THIS](https://www.bougerv.com/products/crpro30-vip-30-quart-portable-fridge) electric cooler that can plug in or use a 9h battery for camping/travelling/power outages. VERY happy with it's first road trip from Seattle to Vegas and back, when we got home with covid we just plugged it in and our leftovers were still 31f a week later when we felt good enough to unpack.”
