I’m picking mine up this afternoon
Only till 30th June
I run one of these and they are not bad if you want an occasional use all in one compact one, it partners well with a folding 100w solar panel too, review here:
So for non T6 reasons I ended up buying a Bluetti EB3A so I thought I'd let folks here know my initial review thoughts. There are lots of threads about the bigger systems but less about the more modest ones.
Basic impressions
So this is the Bluetti EB3A alongside my small Beaudens I use as a secondary 12v system in my van that I've discussed on my tinker thread.
First things to note is though it is much bigger the capacity isn't hugely different (167Wh Vs 268Wh)
This is because the Bluetti has it's mains charger built in and has a 600w inverter (that needs cooling)...

If you're a Costco member currently a bundle deal on an Anker power station and expansion battery until Sunday. This is the price ordering online, it may be different in the warehouse itself.
Also available without the expansion battery

Or you could buy my Jackery Explorer 1000 at way less than half that price!
Apologies for the hijack!

Not useful for the van but tado are having a sale atm too.
To be fair I use it when we’re camping to turn the heating down after the (young adult) children that stay home overide the heating and whack it up to crazy heights and then forget it and leave for a day or two.

Just a warning about MucOff... I've seen it take the colour out of anodised aluminium (Black especially)
Be careful where you use it.

For Costco members Castrol Edge 5W-30LL (VW 507) is on offer this weekend:
Really! I’ve used it on my bikes for years and never had an issue. Lots and lots of black (and other colours!) anodised aluminium.
Halfords have also discounted the 4l version for a similar price per L.
Me either although I stopped using the bike cleaner a long time ago as I did see flash rusting on some bolts after washing.
They do lots of other stuff - even portable pressure washers etc. and their motorcycle protector, despite reviews saying it needs reapplying often (which is how I use it as I don’t like a dirty bike) has seen my Guzzi through winter.
100W Flexi Panel for £48 anyone? (after using 50% voucher)

Interesting. Are they any good?
Can't say yet personally but reviews aren't bad. Bought for my shed roof so hope to test next weekend.

Let me know how you get on as I'm wanting to do similar for charging bits on location at work etc
Well it's on the roof, east facing and horizontal, so not ideal except for the early morning sun, but I knew that before I bought it and was hoping to get at least 3amp most of the day, which I am, so it's doing the job I wanted it for. I'm pretty sure when it's pointed at the sun you'd get 7amp no problem. Hoping to get a few years out of it because in it's current position it's not getting blasted by the midday sun. I'm happy with it so far.
