Question about Eco mode while the unit is plugged in (e.g., Elite 30V2)

I have a question about the Eco mode for the AC setting while the unit (Elite 30V2) is plugged into an outlet. For clarity, here are my settings:

  1. Working Mode: Standard UPS
  2. AC-ECO: On
  3. AC-ECO Shutdown: 1h
  4. AC-ECO Power: 17W
  5. The unit itself is plugged into the outlet

After more than a few hours of the unit being used at less than 17W, the AC setting is still turned on. Any idea why that is the case? Is it because my unit is plugged into the outlet or is there a different setting that I still need to check? Thanks all!

When plugged into grid, the unit is in pass through charging mode and always on.
Eco mode, when activated, is only for when the unit is not connected to the grid, to save battery when the low load threshold is reached for a period of time you set. When used as UPS, Eco mode should be turned off.

Ah that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation! Do you know if there is a way to automatically turn off the AC at certain times? My use case is I use my Bluetti as a UPS that is connected to an external monitor and a laptop. Every night, I don’t need the AC setting turned on so I’d like to have it turned off without having to manually press the AC button.

There is no automatic method of turning off AC. That said, AC can be turned off via Bluetooth, leaving the E30 powered on, but you will have some self consumption.

I’ll give you 2 of my realworld uses;

I use an AC70 in UPS mode for my fibre optic box and WiFi router. It is permanently on 24/7, charged from the grid, in pass through mode. The draw is approx 25W, Eco mode is turned off and the battery is always at 100%. Every 6 months or so, I swap it out for a 2nd AC70 I own and deplete the battery of the one normally used, then recharge it and finally swap it back to normal use on the WiFi etc. UPS only activates in a grid out.

The 2nd example is an AC2A. I use Starlink mini when camping, placed on the dash of the 4x4 and powered by the AC2A for evening use in my caravan. The WiFi range is good for this remote use. When I want to shut down Starlink for the night, I use the Bluetti App from within the caravan to turn the AC2A off, which obviously shuts Starlink down, without the need for me to go outside or to the vehicle. However, the next time I want to use Starlink, I need to physically go to the AC2A and turn it on. Doing this saves any parasitic load leaving the AC2A idling. The odds are, that the AC2A would need a solar recharge in between uses anyway. :slight_smile:

ight now, most BLUETTI units do NOT support scheduled AC on/off (like “turn off at 11pm automatically
