"Bluetti's latest car charger can quickly charge power stations at a very fast 1200W - about 10 times faster than plugging it into the 12V cigarette lighter outlet. The Charger 2, as it's called, can also reverse the flow of electrons to jump-start your vehicle or maintain its starter battery when used with a Bluetti power station like the Apex300."
"Installation of the Charger 2 - like most alternator chargers - is pretty straightforward, making it a DIY project for many Verge readers, so long as your comfortable snaking cables through your interior panels and connecting them to your starter battery. Things get more complicated if you want to add solar panels or expand the system with a separate DC Hub from Bluetti that can feed 12 volts to devices like lights, a fridge, or a Starlink terminal wired into your rig."
Bluetti's Charger 2 is a DC-DC car charger that charges power stations at up to 1200W. The unit can reverse-charge to jump-start vehicles or maintain a starter battery when paired with Bluetti power stations. The 1200W peak combines up to 800W from a vehicle alternator and up to 400W from rooftop solar; it can feed up to 600W of solar into a connected power station without draining the starter battery. Installation is straightforward for experienced DIYers, with added complexity when adding solar or a Bluetti DC Hub. Bluetti claims 95% compatibility with market power stations, though reverse charging works only with Bluetti units. CES launch price is $349, rising to $599 after February 7th.
