When the error occurs, its indicator will turn orange. * When in ECO mode, the AC output will automatically turn off after 4-hour low (≤50W) or no load to save power.
5.3 Charging
Adapter Charging
Plug the AC200MAX into a standard wall outlet, and press the power button to start charging.

PV Charging
Connect the solar panels (in series or parallel) to AC200MAX via the multifunctional DC charging cable and solar charging cable.

Note: Please make sure your solar panels comply with: Voc*: 10-145V Current : 15A Max. Power: 900W Max.
E.g. Connect two BLUETTI PV350 solar panels in series to the PV/Car input port.
BLUETTI PV350: Voc=46.5V Current=9.2A Max.
Total: Voc=46.5×2=93 V Current=9.2A Max.<15A It is OK!
AC200MAX supports up to 900W solar input. In other words, if you’ re using solar panels with a total power of 1000W to charge AC200MAX, the extra 100W will not be needed for charging but squander away directly.

• Voc: Open circuit voltage. The maximum voltage that the solar panel can produce with no load on it.
  Car Charging
  Connect AC200MAX to the vehicle plug-in cigarette lighter port via multifunctional DC charging cable and car charging cable.
  Note: Set the ‘Others’ as DC input source to enable car charging.
  The vehicle cigarette lighter port at least can support 8A.

Generator Charging
Connect AC200MAX to the generator’ s AC outlet via AC adapter, and press the power button to start charging.

12V/24V Lead-acid Battery Charging
Connect AC200MAX to the battery via multifunctional DC charging cable and lead-acid battery charging cable*. Clamp the positive connector (red) to the positive battery terminal and negative (black) to the other.
Note: Set the ‘Others’ as DC input source to enable lead-acid battery charging.

5.4 Discharging

2000Wh × DoD ×η ÷ (load power) = charging time (estimated)
Note: DoD refers to the Depth of Discharge, η is the local inverter efficiency. DoD=90%, η =90%.
DoD may vary depending on ambient-operating temperature and  discharge rate.
Load power and charging time are measured in Watt and Hour.

• The lead-acid charging cable is for recharging AC200MAX ONLY. Please contact BLUETTI customer service for details and get it directly from http://www.amazon.de/dp/B09X33TGHK?ref=myi_title_dp
  5.5 Capacity expansion
  With the P090D battery expansion cable, AC200MAX supports up to 2 B230 or B300 expansion batteries for a total capacity of 6,144Wh and 8,192Wh, respectively.

(P090D Battery Expansion Cable)
a: Enable/disable the battery expansion function.
b: Press to lock/unlock.

Appendix

6.1 FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: How do I know whether my devices will work well with this product?

A: Please evaluate the total constant load of your appliances. If it doesn't exceed the Max. output power of AC200MAX, you can use this power station.

Q: Can I use third-party solar panels to charge this product?

A: Yes, you can. Please make sure your solar panels have an open circuit voltage of 10V-145V and MC4 connectors. Do not mix different types of solar panels.

Q: What does the Depth of Discharge (DoD) refer to?

A: DoD indicates the fraction of power that can be withdrawn from the battery. The BLUETTI AC200MAX sets the DoD to 90%, which means that 90% of the capacity is available to power your device, while the reserved is used to protect the battery from over-discharging.

Q: Can it charge and discharge at the same time?

A: Yes, but it has no UPS feature.

Q: How to disable the touch screen sound?

A: Sorry, it cannot be turned off.

Q: Can it run my refrigerator, window air conditioner or power drill?

Q: Can it run my refrigerator, window air conditioner or power drill?

Q: Can two AC200MAX be paired for higher output voltage, power and capacity?

A: No.

Q: Can the AC200MAX be connected to the home circuit breaker box?

A: No.

Q: Why does the screen display 0 watt output when I plug in a small load, like a 35W LED lamp?

A: The current is too small to be measured accurately when connected to low loads.

Q: Why only one fan is running ?

A: There are intelligent control program in the unit ,when total output power is between 1000W-1500W, only one fun is running , when it exceeds 1500W , both fans are running.
