Appendix 1: Estimating Operation Time

To estimate the operation time of the AC240P, consider the load you're applying: Operation time = Battery Capacity (Wh) × DoD × (Load Power + AC240P Self-consumption) / Conversion Efficiency.

Note: DoD refers to the depth of discharge. AC240P works at 95% DoD for longer battery life. Conversion efficiency is typically over 85% for AC240P. 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.

Appendix 2: FAQ

  • Q1: How do I know whether my devices will work well with this product?
    A: Please evaluate the total constant load of your devices. If it doesn't exceed the Max. output power of AC240P (2400W), 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 AC240P.
  • Q2: Can I use third-party solar panels to charge this product?
    A: Yes, you can. However, make sure your solar panels have an open circuit voltage of 11V-60V and are equipped with MC4 connectors. It's also important not to mix different types of solar panels.
  • Q3: Can it charge and discharge at the same time?
    A: Yes. It supports pass-through charging. The AC240P comes with the premium LiFePO battery and proprietary Battery Management System to ensure that it can charge and discharge at the same time.
  • Q4: Why is the charging power often too low?
    A: AC240P 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.
