Charging

AC2P supports four charging methods: AC, solar, car, and generator.

Attention:

• Double-check that all cables are firmly plugged in.
• Avoid getting the plug and socket wet to prevent any potential damage.

AC Charging
Plug the AC2P into a standard wall outlet and start charging. Once it’s fully charged, the AC2P automatically stops charging to prevent overcharging. For a fast charge, you can enable Turbo Charging in the BLUETTI App, which allows for an 80% capacity in just 45 minutes at an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F).

Solar Charging
Connect the solar panels (in series or parallel) to AC2P via the solar charging cable. When receiving a continuous input of 200W, the AC2P will automatically stop charging within 1.5 hours. However, please be aware that the charging time may vary based on weather conditions, sunlight intensity, panel orientation, and other variables.

Note: Make sure your solar panel(s) meet the following requirements:

• Voc: 12V-28V
• Current: 8.2A
• Max. Power : 200W Max.

Car Charging
Connect AC2P to the vehicle’s 12V cigarette lighter port via the car charging cable. The AC2P can charge at a maximum of 96W, and it’ll automatically stop charging once it’s fully charged.

Note : Make sure your vehicle meets the following conditions for charging:

• The vehicle is capable of supplying power.
• The vehicle’s engine is running during the charging process.

Attention: The AC2P has a low-voltage disconnect function designed to protect your vehicle’s battery during charging. If the input voltage drops below 10.5V, the unit will automatically stop charging to prevent over- discharging and potential damage to the battery.

Generator Charging
Connect the AC2P to a generator via the AC charging cable. The AC2P will also automatically stop charging when it’s fully charged, typically within 1.4 hours if the generator output is stable.

Note : Make sure your generator delivers the AC output with charging voltage, frequency, and Grid Self-adaption Mode voltage that meet AC2P’s specifications.
If the total power demand of your connected devices exceeds the generator’s output capacity, please turn on the Grid Self-adaption Mode to ensure a seamless charging experience.

Note: To ensure optimal performance, avoid short-circuiting the ports and keep them dry during use or storage. Additionally, do not block or cover the ports while ensuring proper ventilation.

Settings

The AC2P offers the convenience of adjusting its settings either via physical buttons or the BLUETTI App. With the buttons located on the device itself, you have direct control over various settings such as ECO Mode, Power Lifting Mode, output frequency, charging modes, and other functionalities. Additionally, by using the BLUETTI App, you can access a user-friendly interface on your phone to conveniently monitor and control the AC2P.

Setting Mode
When the display is on, press and hold the AC and DC Power Buttons for about 2 seconds till the output frequency flashes to enter the Setting Mode.

ECO Mode
The AC2P has two ECO modes that help you save power and extend battery life:

AC-ECO Mode
In this mode, if the AC power output falls below or remains at a certain level for a set period, 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, 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, they’ll be turned on or off at the same time.
• To avoid any interruption in charging, disable ECO Mode when charging a small device that consumes less than 15W of power.
  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. When the AC output is off, in the Setting Mode, press the AC Power Button to switch the frequency options based on your requirements.

Power Lifting Mode
The Power Lifting Mode is specifically designed to handle resistive loads up to 600W, including electric blankets, kettles, hairdryers, and other heating devices. To enable it, access the Setting Mode, navigate with the DC Power Button until the appears, and press the AC Power Button to enable the mode.

Note : The Power Lifting Mode is not enabled by default and is only suitable for resistive loads with a power rating between 300W and 600W.
Although the AC2P can handle higher power demands, its actual operating power remains at 300W.

AC Charging Mode
The AC2P supports 3 AC charging modes – Standard, Turbo, and Silent to fit your specific needs. In the Setting Mode, use the DC power button to navigate until the icon starts flashing on the screen（ P03 ）. Then, press the AC power button to choose the Turbo mode.

Silent

Appx. 1 Estimating Operation Time

To estimate the operation time of the AC2P, consider the load you’re applying: Operation time = Battery Capacity (Wh) x DoD x η ÷ (Load Power + AC2P Self- con-sumption)

Note: DoD refers to the depth of discharge. AC2P works at 90% DoD for longer battery life. is the conversion efficiency of the inverter, typically over 85% for AC2P. The self-consumption of AC2P is approximately 12W.
E.g. If you have a 40W refrigerator, you can run it for about 3.4 hours.

Operation time = 230.4Wh × 90% × 85% ÷ (40W + 12W) ˆ 3.4 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. the output power of AC2P (300W), 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 AC2P.

• 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-28V 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 AC2P comes with a premium LiFePO˙ battery and a proprietary Battery Management System to ensure that it can charge and discharge at the same time.

• Why is the charging power often too low?
  AC2P 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.
