New products from Bluetti hit our desk with almost monthly regularity and the Charger 2 confirms that pattern.

Let’s see what it is, what it promises, what it does and what it costs.

 

What is the Bluetti Charger 2? A 13x Faster Vehicle Charging Solution

The Bluetti Charger 2 is the follow-up model of the Charger 1, aimed at motorists who need to charge a power station in their vehicle.

The original Charger 1 is suitable for smaller vehicles, like SUVs and utes or vans with low power demands as the max charging power is 560W.

The new Charger 2 is perfectly suited for trucks, campervans/motorhomes and RVs.
With up to 1200W it has more than twice the delivery charging power than the older version.

In terms of what we all understand: it is 13 x faster than your standard car charger!

 

1200W Dual-Input Power: Combining Alternator and Solar Efficiency

If you compare the two Charger models, you’ll see this is a massive upgrade.

We already spotted the doubling of charging output.
This is achieved mainly by adding solar input to the mix: up to 600W from solar.
The other 600W comes from the alternator/battery.

If you don’t have solar, the max input from what’s under the hood can be 800W.

The charging source can also include an expansion battery (we reviewed a couple of them recently).

And here’s another nice feature of the Charger 2: Reverse Charging!

(No, this is not a throwback to the days before mobile phones when you could call Collect or had Reverse Charging…)

This is actually quite handy when your car battery has drained so much that your vehicle won’t start (had that happen twice last year!).

The Charger 2 can route the juice back into your car’s battery from your power station. Nice trick!

 

Hands-On Performance: Powering Dual Fridges and Reverse Vehicle Charging

My caravanning days are over, but my SUV could do with a good charging option for the 2 small fridges that live in the Kluger.

Normally, the Charger 1 is sufficient for these needs, but the Charger 2 has the Reverse Charging option which could be a life saver.

And I plan to also make the Bluetti Elite 100 V2 a permanent resident in the vehicle so that the fridge contents don’t spoil when we’re stationary.

Let’s open the box.

It comes complete with all the cabling we need (I think): see the picture here.

As expected, it’s all very high-quality stuff! Much care has gone in to crafting a system that should last decades of service.

It looks all straightforward with finding a way through the firewall to route the DC Input Cable, as likely the biggest challenge.

Since this is a First Look, and not a full-blown test review, we can leave an update about installation till later.

I’m trying to get a professional installation done as fiddling with firewall cable routing is not my forte. And I’d like to have all the wires tucked away neatly behind panelling.

If I had a van, I would be keen to do it all myself. Or if I already had a Charger 1 installed, this would be a very easy upgrade.

 

Pricing and Exclusive Discounts: How to Save on the Bluetti Charger 2

Speaking of which: Bluetti offers an attractive upgrade option for Charger 1 owners: just A$249 till Feb 6, 2026.

Compared to the regular price of the Charger 2 of $799 that’s a very good deal.

There are 3 more discounts to be had: until Feb 6 a massive Early Bird saving – which brings the price down to A$599.

Secondly, an additional code DRCG2 at checkout will take off another 6%.

Finally, you have a site-wide 5% discount on all Bluetti products if you click on this link.
That’ll be just A$535 for our readers.

With this our advice for 2026 is: Go Touring!
