3. Product Introduction
The CHARGER 1 is the ideal solution for rapidly charging BLUETTI portable power stations, utilizing the extra energy provided by your car's alternator. It is perfectly suited for cars, SUVs, and campers, and thanks to its integrated booster module, it can recharge the power station up to 5 times faster than standard car power outlets. Furthermore, it intelligently detects the car battery voltage to prevent discharge, ensuring you never run out of power during your travels.
Attention:
- Do not connect any port of the CHARGER 1 to AC outlets and avoid connecting it to batteries with a voltage higher than 32V.
- Use BLUETTI input cables or purchase compatible cables and a 60A circuit breaker.
