Suggest that you put in a tank higher that most of your property so that you can fill it when power is available and let gravity provide the water you need after that, much like the farmers did in the 1900s in the US.

Great information on the Bluetti. I have no success with my hands on the touch screen, so the button is a great plus. I was recently exploring your link as my current solar shuts off and leaves my greenhouse powerless and frozen. I use water to heat the greenhouse and support my fish. A small heater stops the ice forming and has worked well until I switched to all solar. Certainly, I have not put enough time into the process, but my solar is very limited. I hope to make better choices in the future.

That was a great commercial! Having been a carpenter for 30+ years, I have seen a lot of expensive, brand new, straight out of the box, generators burned out inside of a week or two, trying to accommodate (roughly) the same kinds of power issues. This seems to be a (proven) great, feature rich product. How will it last? We hope to see, that you will keep us in the loop. Thanx for sharing, God bless and until we meet again! P.S.

Sorry, they couldn't give me a price yet. Will be out on May 15th. If you charge from the grid it takes about an hour, which is extremely quick compared to older units. It was discharge VERY slowly I think, so good to check every few months if you're keeping it for an emergency.
