BLUETTI AC200P + B230 | Home Battery Backup

FAQS

• Q: How can I connect AC200P with B230 or B300 expansion battery?

  A:

  You can connect 1 B230 or B300 battery pack with AC200P via the P090D to XT90 cable*. * Sold separately

• Q1:How many solar panels can I connect to the BLUETTI AC200P?

  We suggest to chain at least 3pcs PV200 200W/3pcs PV120 /2pcs PV350 solar panel in series, and 5pcs at the most.

  For professional solar user, you can connect PV200 4S2P(total 8pcs) to reach the max.700W. (the parallel cable need to buy separately)

  Tips: Single BLUETTI PV120 or PV200 will not charge AC200P, We recommend at least 3 pcs BLUETTI PV120(120W solar panel) or BLUETTI PV200(200W solar panel) in series to charge AC200P！！！！！

• Q2: What kind of solar panels should I choose for AC200P?

  we recommend to choose solar panel that meets below:

  1) open circuit voltage between 35-150v(OCV, whatever you connect the panel in series or in parallel), Max.700W, Max.12A

  2) MC4 Connector (if your solar panel has an anderson connector, you need to buy a anderson to mc4 charging cable)

  Note:total OCV below 35V or above 150V will trigger low-voltage/over-voltage protection. AC200P only receive 700W/12A(Max.) if total input power /current exceed 700W/12A.

  The recharge time various from different factors such as weather condition, the actual input solar power, temperature, angle, etc.

  Highly Recommended:

  5x BLUETTI PV120: ≈4hrs.

  3x BLUETTI PV200: ≈4hrs.

  2x BLUETTI PV350: ≈3.6hrs.

  * For reference ONLY.

• Q3: How long is the MC4 cable?

  A:

  The solar charging cable(MC4-Aviator) is about 1.7m long and the cable in the solar panel pack is about 3m long.

• Q4: Can I charge and discharge AC200P at the same time?

  A:

  Sure. However, in order to better protect the cycle life of the battery, it is not recommended to charge and discharge the battery at the same time.

• Q5: How soon will the AC200P be fully charged by car charging?

  A:

  18hrs @12V and 9hrs @24V.

• Q6: How much capacity does AC200P have after 3500+ cycles?

  A:

  AC200P can maintain above 80% capacity after 3500+ cycles.

• Q7: How long can it run my device?

  A:

  Running time = Battery capacity × DoD × η ÷ Device rated power

  DoD refers to Depth of Discharge and η is local inverter efficiency.

  For AC200P, both DoD and η are 90%. If you run a 1,000W microwave oven with it, the running time will be:

  2,000Wh × 90% × 90% ÷ 1,000W ≈ 1.6hrs

  Note:

  1) The formula is NOT suitable for inductive loads with compressors, like refrigerator, air conditioner, etc.

  2) The above data is for reference ONLY.

• Q8: What is the surge power of BLUETTI AC200P?

  A:

  It can reach up to 4800W max.

• Q9: How can the AC200P save power drain?

  A:

  You can turn on the ECO Mode. When on this mode, the AC inverter will automatically turn off after 4-hour low (≤50W) or no load to save power.

• Q10: How much noise does AC200P make?

  A:

  It depends on the loads AC200P carries.

  Load<1500W, 45dB Max., just like the sound generated from a working refrigerator;

  Load>1500W, 54dB Max., just like the sound generated from a percolating coffee-maker.

• Q11: What kind of battery chemistry does AC200P use?

  A:

  LiFePO4 battery cells, the safest lithium battery type today.

• Q12:How do we ship this bundle?

  Due to the large size of AC200P Power Station & PV200 Solar Panels, we will ship these two products separately!!!!!!!!

• Q13: Is the AC200P power station waterproof?

  No. Also, please do NOT store it in a humid environment for a long time.

• Q14: Can I use or charge AC200P in sub-zero temperatures?

  A:

  Temperature ranges for AC200P are:

  Charge: 0-40℃ (32-104℉);

  Discharge: -20-40℃ (-4-104℉);

  Storage: -20-40℃ (-4-104℉).

  Technically, it can power electrical devices under such situations, but please avoid charging it.

• Q15: How do I know whether my appliance can work well with the AC200P?

  Calculate the total wattage of your devices. AC200P should work if the load doesn't exceed its rated 2,000W.

• Q16: What is the maximum input charging power of the BLUETTI AC200P?

  1,200W Max. Via 500W wall socket and 700W solar panels simultaneously.

• Q17: Can it be laid on its side to save space?

  No. Long-term placement will make the internal structure loose, it is recommended to place the machine upright.

• Q18: Is it possible to replace the built-in battery?

  No. If the battery pack is faulty or even dead, please contact BLUETTI Customer Service.

• Q19: What is the difference between the AC200MAX and AC200P?

  A:

  The main differences are:

  1. Output power and capacity: 2,000W AC power and 2,048Wh capacity for AC200MAX, while 2,000W and 2,000Wh for AC200P.

  2. Max. Input: 1,400W for AC200MAX, while 1,200W for AC200P.

  3. App Control: AC200MAX supports BLUETTI App control.
