I was camping over the weekend using my AC70P to power my 12 volt fridge. It worked fine until last night. The temp got down to at least 38° F, maybe even lower. This morning the AC70P was off. I turned it back on and it ran fine again. Is this expected behavior when the ambient temp drops that low?
@MisterK it’s possible it was due to ECO being on if the fridge draw was minimal. Check if ECO mode is on, and turn off if so. ECO mode will shut down the unit when there is little or no draw for 4 hours. You can turn the ECO mode off in the app, or on the unit as per the manual instructions.
Hi @MisterK
In addition to @Erebus answer, this is mentioned in the manual:
ECO Mode
ECO Mode is a power-saving mode that is enabled by default. When operating on ECO
Mode, the AC / DC output will automatically turn off if the AC70P is bearing low (less
than 40W or the set power) or no load for a while.
Note: When connecting a small power device, disable the ECO Mode for a successful
and uninterrupted charge experience.
In the Setting Mode, use the DC power button to navigate until the ECO icon starts
flashing on the screen. Then, press the AC power button to enable or disable the mode.
Temperatures should be still within the operating range.

Thanks for the help. Yes, I do have ECO mode turned on, so it shutting off makes sense now.
my AC 70 started flashing all the buttons and smelt like burning rubber sent it back to bluetti and they said a full refund would be sent in 1-3 working days weeks later still no refund won’t be buying of bluetti again and probably won’t be seeing my money again.
