To test the Bluetti AC2A, I utilised it with various photography equipment, including a Yaber T2 Plus projector, Zhiyun Molus G300, Zhiyun Fiveray M20C, Canon EOS R5C, Sony Alpha 7 IV, and Rotolight Anova Pro 2. I used the AC2A as the main power source to top up the batteries or provide power, and it provided more power than expected, keeping the devices running for extended periods.
Starting with the largest power draw, the Molus G300 COB LED light, which draws 300W at full power, the AC2A kept the light running at full power for just under 40 minutes. In typical use, where the light operates at 40-80% power, the AC2A would last through most short shoots.
For the Rotolight Anova Pro 2, which has a draw of 72W, I used an extension cable to run two Anova Pro 2s side-by-side. At full power, the AC2A provided over an hour and a quarter of runtime. At typical usage levels (40-70%), I would get around three hours of use from these two lights.
The smaller Zhiyun Fiveray M20C was particularly impressive. At full power, it ran for almost six hours before overheating, with the light’s safety feature kicking in before the battery drained.

I also tested the battery using PD power for the Canon EOS R5C and Sony Alpha 7 IV. In both cases, the AC2A kept the camera batteries topped up for a whole day of shooting, making it a reliable and lightweight power solution. While I might prefer a larger battery for extended shoots, the AC2A is a great option for travel, providing fast and efficient charging.
The final test involved the Yaber T2 Plus projector. I watched a movie for just over two hours, and the AC2A had ample capacity to keep it powered. With additional YouTube viewing, the projector ran for about four hours in total.
Overall, I was impressed with the performance of what I initially thought was a small-capacity battery. It offers many of the benefits of larger batteries without the bulk. The AC socket and ability to use standard chargers and transformers make it a versatile and valuable tool for photographers and videographers. If you’re looking for a lightweight solution to power your camera accessories or keep your batteries topped up, the Bluetti AC2A is a cost-effective choice for field use.
