The window ac (8,000 btu) draws about 715 W running, with a 1,250 W startup surge; the Elite 30 V2 delivers 600 W continuous and 1,500 W surge. That's not enough continuous output.

Common questions
Can the Bluetti Elite 30 V2 run a window ac (8,000 btu)?
No. A window ac (8,000 btu) needs 715 W continuous, but the Bluetti Elite 30 V2 only delivers 600 W continuous — so it can’t sustain the running load. You'd want a larger unit.
