• Q6: Can I connect two units of AC200MAX together for more power (240V Split Phase Bonding)?

  A:

  No.

• Q7: Is the AC200MAX power station waterproof?

  A:

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

• Q8: Can it charge and discharge at the same time?

  A:

  Yes.

• Q9: Can I use or charge AC200MAX in sub-zero temperatures?

  A:

  Temperature ranges for AC200MAX 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.

• Q10: How do I know whether my appliance can work well with the AC200MAX?

  A:

  Calculate the total wattage of your devices. AC200MAX should work if the load doesn't exceed its rated 2,200W.

• Q11: 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 AC200MAX, both DoD and η are 90%. If you run a 1,000W microwave oven with it, the running time will be:
  2,048Wh × 90% × 90% ÷ 1,000W ≈ 1.65hrs
  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.

• Q12: What is the maximum input charging power of the BLUETTI AC200MAX?

  A:

  1,400W Max. Via 500W wall socket and 900W solar panels simultaneously.

• Q13: Can it be laid on its side to save space?

  A:

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

• Q14: Can I hot-swap expansion batteries to AC200MAX?

  A:

  Yes. You can easily swap battery packs for continuous power use, and the system can hold two batteries at once.

• Q15: Is it possible to replace the built-in battery?

  A:

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

• Q16: 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. Output Port: AC200MAX has a 12V/30A NEMA TT-30 port.
  4. App Control: AC200MAX supports BLUETTI App control.
