BRIEF INTRODUCTION

For I/O capability, the AC200MAX features higher continuous output power at 2,200W from its pure sine wave inverter, a 100W PD3.0 USB-C port, an upgraded MPPT controller which now handles up to 900W of solar input, and a built-in 30A NEMA TT-30 outlet designed especially for the RV crowds. And most importantly of all after feedback and listening to our customers, finally, the BLUETTI AC200MAX supports Bluetooth connection and can be controlled by the new BLUETTI Smartphone App (iOS & Android). And it too also supports expandable battery packs.
The AC200MAX supports up to two additional battery packs, using either the BLUETTI B230 or B300. With two BLUETTI B300 you can easily expand your AC200MAX to a massive 8192Wh of capacity to run all of your essential needs at home or on the go for hours, days, or even more than a week!

APPLICATION SCENARIO

(1) Outdoor
Car equipment: car fridge, car vacuum cleaner and other car equipment;
Camping equipment: garden electric tools (power tools such as blowers, lawn mowers, electric drills, electric saws), BBQ grills, LED lights, etc.
(2) Indoor Refrigerator, kitchen devices such as kettle, toaster, blender, coffee maker, rice cooker, laptops, phones, lighting, etc.

EXAMPLES OF LOADS

(1) 12V/30A, 12V/10A, cigarette lighter port, USB-A and USB-C output port are suitable for most products in the market, but some products may trigger overcurrent protection if there is a large current impact at the moment of starting.
(2) The power of electrical products used for AC output should be less than 2200W. According to the different electrical products, when the rated power is less than 2200W, some air conditioners, motors and other devices that need instantaneous high current when starting may trigger overcurrent when the ratio of peak value of rated current exceeds 3:1. At this time, we recommend that you select the electrical appliances with a lower power rate. (3) When the output is overloaded, over-current or short circuit, the product will turn off the corresponding output port, and then it will automatically start twice (at an interval of 20s). If there is still an overload, over-current or short circuit alarm, the output port will be locked, and need to be manually troubleshot and th n restarted. If the output stops repeatedly after the restart, please stop using it immediately (only after troubleshooting) or contact the vendor or
maintenance agent for help.
(4) When the battery power is discharged to 0%, the DC and AC output will automatically turn off. Only when the battery power is charged to more than 5%, the DC and AC output can be turned on, which is to protect the battery and enhance its cycle life.
(5) This machine supports charging and discharging simultaneously.

FAQS

Is the reverse polarity issue corrected on Amazon based products sold?

Yes it has.

all reviews seems about bluetti ac200p, what is the difference between bluetti ac200p and bluetti ac200max besides little more wattage and price?

There are usually reviews for the product you click on. Try filtering the reviews.
The 200p has more household plugs and they say the tiny little wattage difference as you mentioned. The max looks more geared toward campers or someone that uses a 30amp devices. The only other difference is the usb-c outlets were upgraded so they work faster now. Other than that, you can see they’re usually both the same price.

How many solar strips will make 900W? 1400W?

You’re not going to “fry” your Bluetti even if you have more panels than 900W worth. The Bluetti will only input a maximum of 900W, regardless of how many panels you have attached.

Wind turbine charge controller included?

No. Not included. Separate system needed to attach Wind

How long to charge with 200 watt solar panel?

From 0 10 hours

Are these weatherproof for a mild rain? Dust proof?

Yes (dust) and yes (light rain). But it’s not meant to be weatherproof (neither are the Bluetti solar panels).

Can you use universal panels with the AC200 max?

As long as you don’t go above/below the max/min voltage and wattage input, you can use any panels. May need a converter for wiring.

full size refrigerator run time?

The majority of modern refrigerators draw an average of 55 Watts/hr.

Can blue power an electric car?

Not really. You could do a Level 1 slow charge, but it would only give you about 4 or 5 miles of extra range. Keep in mind that EV’s typically have battery capacities of 50 – 100 kWh (kilowatt hours). The Bluetti AC200MAX “only” has a battery capacity of ~ 2 kWh.

How do you use the 30 amp power supply on the rv Indoors when the 30 amp outlet on the trailer is outdoors?

Place the Bluetti under the camper. Remember it is not water proof and does not even like high humidity. Or run the RV cable through a window.

what is battery voltage?

51.2 vdc

How do you Expand to 8192Wh & what is the cost of that?

By using an AC200 max and 2 AC300 batteries.

is there a minimum power output?

Not

What is the storage temperature range for the ac200max?

This should be indicated in the instructions manual.
