It suits van and ute conversions, caravans and long touring trips, where the drive between stops is the most dependable charging window you get. It takes the 12V or 24V feed from the starter battery and raises it, delivering up to 560W at 10A into the power station. BLUETTI rates that at six times faster than charging from a car outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSetting it up is straightforward. The output voltage is chosen in the BLUETTI app over Bluetooth, from 15.0V to 56.0V on a 12V vehicle or 27.0V to 56.0V on a 24V vehicle, so the charger matches the unit you are actually charging. Short circuit, anti-reverse, under-voltage and over-temperature protections sit behind the charge path, with a 60A circuit breaker available for surge protection. Fitting it is a wiring job in the vehicle, not a plug-in job. If you are unsure how it suits your setup, we're happy to help before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb21-spec-grid\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb21-spec-card\"\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharging Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 560W max, 10A\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDefault Output Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27V\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharging Output Voltage (with alternator, for charging a power station), 12V vehicle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.0V to 56.0V, adjustable in the app\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharging Output Voltage (with alternator, for charging a power station), 24V vehicle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27.0V to 56.0V, adjustable in the app\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12V to 14V on a 12V system, 22.5V to 28V on a 24V system\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Amperage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50A at 12V, 25A at 24V\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtections:\u003c\/strong\u003e short circuit, anti-reverse, under-voltage and over-temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurge Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60A circuit breaker (optional)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooling:\u003c\/strong\u003e fan cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection Grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP20\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eApp Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bluetooth\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2kg\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (L x W x D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 145 x 110 x 60mm\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb21-spec-card\"\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Charger 1 DC-DC Charger\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1 x DC Input Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1 x MC4 Output Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4 x Hex Socket Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e6 x Self-tapping Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Hex Socket Wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1 x User Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/2424\/4410\/files\/bluetti-charger-1-user-manual.pdf?v=1786338785\" title=\"Download the BLUETTI Charger 1 user manual (PDF)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDownload the BLUETTI Charger 1 user manual (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"hb21-warranty-note\" style=\"margin-top:28px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e the DC input cable that runs to your starter battery is included in this box, so you do not need to buy one separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb21-image-full\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/2424\/4410\/files\/bluetti-charger-1-alternator-charger-560-hero_c2c50721-6c31-4214-89e3-16d0150ba929.png?v=1786511578\" alt=\"BLUETTI Charger 1 feature overview: 560W maximum charging shown along a vehicle outline, with callouts for superior protection of the car battery and power station, smart app control, a 2 year warranty, cooling for sustained performance, and automatic on and off to prevent battery drain\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb21-section\"\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003e560W From the Drive Between Stops\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Charger 1 draws from the alternator once the engine is running and delivers up to 560W at 10A into the power station.
