3. Initial Charging
Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the BLUETTI AC200P. It supports multiple recharging methods:
- AC Wall Outlet: Use the provided AC adapter. A full charge takes approximately 5.5 hours with one 400W adapter, or about 2.5-3 hours with dual AC adapters (second adapter and DC7909 to XT90 cable sold separately).
- Solar Panel: Connect solar panels as described above. With Max. 700W solar input, full recharge can be achieved in 3-3.5 hours.
- Car Charging: Use the car charging cable to charge from a 12V or 24V car outlet. This takes approximately 20 hours (12V) or 10 hours (24V).
- Generator: The unit can be charged via a generator.
- Lead-acid Battery: It can also be charged from a lead-acid battery.
The AC200P can be recharged by AC and PV simultaneously for faster charging, taking about 2.5 hours.
