Bluetti AC180 vs Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus

“Sure, so, at least as of now, and I'm still playing with ecoflow, bluettis randomly shutoff even if they have a load. Usually, it's an issue of ECOmode being turned on, but we've had it happen when it's off enough times to confound me. We haven't had ecoflow do this yet. Bluetti's have to be carried. Nice handles, heavy and bulky to lunk around. The ecoflows we got have a wicked cool wheel setup with a handle we didn't know about until I bumped it. Bluetti accessories stay in a bag, the ecoflows we are using have compartments. Bluetti has nifty wireless charging spots on top of their cases, I didn't see this on the exoflows but I really don't care about that as a gimmick. (That's a personal thing) Bluetti has API access, which I have yet to work with to integrate with our systems, Ecoflow has an app, but I'm hopeful that I can figure out integration. For Californians - ecoflow is on the list of state approved systems - much easier for permitting since we can point at it on the state website. Also, Bluetti's touch screens and menus are interesting, but highly inconvenient and excessive. The ecoflows we got keep it simple and clear. It's entirely possible that our perspective changes over time using the ecoflow system, but, at least right now, we're pretty happy with what we're seeing after trying out Bluetti's products. But, for all the companies doing this stuff - great job! They're making portable, rechargeable, renewable energy systems accessible to the lay person in a plug-and-play way. I wouldnt want to knock anyone for accomplishing such a feet!”

“The Jackery kit won't work, but not for the reason you stated. If you look at the technical specifications listed for the unit, it states that the AC outputs are 120V. You mentioned that the pump control box says it's 230V. So the Jackery kit won't be able to output the voltage to match what you need. You misunderstand how the breaker for you pump is set up/works. A double 20A breaker is designed to trip if the current passing through it exceeds 20A. Most US residential electrical services are split phase 240V supplies. That means you have 2 hot wires and a neutral wire entering your main electrical panel. The purpose of the double circuit breaker is to look at the current traveling though both hot wires to your 240V motor, and if one of them exceeds the breaker's rating (in this case 20A,) it disconnects power from both hot wires to the motor at the same time.”
