I bought the short little 12 volt car charger for the bluetti elite 200 v2 on amazon and it is rather short. I am wondering if the length of these cords matter? I went with the bluetti brand as opposed to some other brand because I figured it would be bluetti it would work for sure.
More info required -
Are you referring to the Charger 1?
Did you buy it with input and output cables?
If so, the input cable is designed to carry the load required for maximum output over that length. Extending it further may require a heavier cable to accommodate possible voltage drop.
The same logic occurs for the output cable, however with all DC-DC chargers, solar controllers or other battery chargers, the charger needs to be as close as possible to the battery being charged.
I am referring to the little short cord that plugs into a vehicle’s cigarette lighter port. it then goes from there to the bluetti elite 200 v2 solar input
The cig plug that comes with Bluetti power stations is a low wattage i.e. around 90W, all you need is an extension cable with a cig plug on one end and a cig socket on the other. Plenty of electronics places like Radio Shack or Auto Accessory dealers would stock them.
it didnt come with my elite 200 v2 however with the ac70 that i got in either 2020 or 2021 it did come with that one.
