Product Introduction

  • Meet the BLUETTI AC180T portable power station – a cutting-edge energy solution that supercharges your mobile power experience. It’s got a robust 1,800W inverter and two 716.8Wh LiFePO₄ batteries to give you plenty of power for your journeys.
  • The AC180T delivers up to 1,800W of AC output and a maximum combined AC+DC output of 1,900W. If your total power demand exceeds 1,900W, yet the AC loads stay below 1,800W, the AC180T intelligently turns off the DC output while maintaining the AC output. In addition, with Power Lifting Mode enabled, you can effortlessly manage heating devices up to 2,700W, including hairdryers and heaters.(See the “Settings” section for details.) A single battery reaches 80% charge in just 48 minutes; with two batteries, it takes only 60 minutes. Plus, it can use sunlight simultaneously to charge up faster when you’re far away from an outlet.

Danger:
Do not connect the AC output of AC180T to the grid.

      In this mode, if the AC power output falls below or remains at a certain level for a set period of time, the AC power will automatically turn off.

    • DC-ECO Mode
      In this mode, if the DC power output falls below or remains at a certain level for a set period of time, the DC power will automatically turn off.

Attention :

  • The AC-ECO and DC-ECO modes are enabled by default to save energy, and it’s recommended to keep them enabled at all times.
  • Use the BLUETTI App to enable or disable AC-ECO Mode and DC-ECO Mode separately. If you use the LCD display, they’ll be turned on or off at the same time.
  • To avoid any interruption in charging, disable ECO Mode when charging small devices that consume less power than the set power limit.
  • In the Setting Mode, press the DC Power Button to navigate through the setting items. When the icon flashes on the display, press the AC Power Button to enable or disable the ECO Mode.

Frequency Switching
The current output frequency (50Hz / 60Hz) is displayed in the lower right corner of the display. Before making any changes, ensure that the AC output is turned off. Then, access the Setting Mode and press the AC Power Button to switch the frequency options.

Power Lifting Mode

Appx. 1 Estimating Operation Time

To estimate the operation time of the AC180T, consider the load you’re applying:

  • For high-power loads (above 300W):
    • Operation time = Battery Capacity (Wh) x DoD x η ÷ Load Power
  • For small-power loads (below 300W):
    • Operation time = Battery Capacity (Wh) x DoD x η ÷ (Load Power + AC180T Self-consumption)

Note: DoD refers to the depth of discharge. AC180T works at 90% DoD for longer battery life.

η is the conversion efficiency of the inverter, typically over 90% for AC180T.

  • The self-consumption of AC180T is approximately 15W.
  • E.g. If you have a 65W refrigerator, you can run it for about 14 hours.
  • Operation time = (716.8 × 2) Wh × 90% × 90% ÷ (65W + 15W) ≈ 14 hours.
  • Please keep in mind that the estimated operation time provided is for reference purposes and may vary based on actual usage conditions. Factors such as low temperature and excessive loads can significantly affect the battery capacity, leading to a reduction in the average operation time.

Appx. 2 FAQ

  • How do I know whether my devices will work well with this product?
    Please evaluate the total constant load of your devices. If it doesn’t exceed the Max. output power of AC180T (1,800W with 2 batteries or 1,200W with 1 battery), you can use this power station to run your devices.
    Note: Some devices with built-in motors or compressors may start at 2-4 times the rated power, which can easily overload the AC180T.

  • Can I use third-party solar panels to charge this product?
    Yes, you can. However, make sure your solar panels have an open circuit voltage of 12V-60V and are equipped with MC4 connectors. It’s also important not to mix different types of solar panels.

  • Can it charge and discharge at the same time?
    Yes. It supports pass-through charging. The AC180T comes with the premium LiFePO₄ battery and proprietary Battery Management System to ensure that it can charge and discharge at the same time.

  • Why is the charging power often too low?
    AC180T has a built-in intelligent BMS that automatically adjusts the charging power in response to the battery temperature and SoC, thus protecting the battery and extending its service life.
