    .. your take on auxiliary power packs. No doubt there are copious amounts of info on the subject but technology changes rapidly and I'd like to get info on what's currently thought of as "good to best". Specifically I'm speaking of the Jackery and similar units.

    First off, what do you use them for? My vehicle already is equipped with a hundred watt solar panel and a 3K watt pure-sine inverter to handle the refer and what-nots. I do like electrical wizardly stuff so if I can justify a need I'll usually "fill it".

    In looking at the Jackery (various models) it seems to get high marks, but I always look at the competition for comparison's sake. This brings me to the Bluetti (EB70S) - it also looks killer but I look to this forum for final reviews.

    So first comes the justification then which one is superior to the other? Thanks for your comments.

    I use a Bluetti EB55 to help run a SetPower RV45D while I am fishing. I get more than enough time out of it for my needs, however in the future, I'd love to plug it into some solar panels.

    So, why Bluetti instead of Jackery? The battery cells. Bluetti uses LiFePO4 cells which offer about 5 times or more charging cycles. Plus, I know the LiFePO4 cells do pretty well in the heat, which, you are going to get inside of a T4R that is sitting in the sun all day. With that said, I also own a Jackery that my son uses when camping. Works well for him and it has never let him down.
