1.2 General Requirements

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

WARNING: Follow basic precautions when using this product:

• Read all instructions before use.
• Close supervision is necessary when the product is used near children to reduce the risk of injury.
• Do not put fingers or hands into the product. Do not insert foreign objects into any ports.
• Using attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
• To reduce the risk of damage, pull the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting.
• Do not use damaged or modified battery packs or appliances, as they may exhibit unpredictable behavior.
• Do not operate with a damaged cord, plug, or output cable.
• Do not attempt to replace internal batteries or components; service by authorized personnel only. Incorrect reassembly can cause fire or electric shock.
• Unplug the product before attempting any servicing to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES: Follow instructions from the battery manufacturer and equipment manufacturer. Review cautionary markings.
• PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Wear eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near the battery. Never smoke or allow sparks/flames near the battery or engine. Be cautious to avoid dropping metal tools onto the battery, which could cause sparks or short-circuits.
• Charge the internal battery in a well-ventilated area, without restricting ventilation.
• Under abusive conditions, battery liquid may eject; avoid contact. Flush with water if contact occurs. Seek medical help if liquid contacts eyes. Ejected liquid can cause irritation or burns.
• Do not expose the product to fire or excessive temperatures (above 130°C / 266°F), as this may cause an explosion.
• Servicing must be performed by a qualified repair person using identical replacement parts to ensure safety.
• Do not stack items on top of the product during storage or use. Do not move the product while operating due to vibrations that can affect internal connections.
• In case of fire, use only a dry powder fire extinguisher appropriate for the product.
• WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Never use the product to supply power tools to cut or access live parts or wiring, including within building walls.

1.3 Grounding Instructions

The product is designed for portable use and typically does not require earth grounding. However, if connected to the power grid, proper grounding is essential for safety. Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current in case of malfunction, reducing the risk of electric shock. The product is equipped with an AC power cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Ensure the plug is inserted into a properly installed and grounded outlet according to local codes.

WARNING: Improper connection of the grounding conductor can result in electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure about grounding. Do not modify the plug; have a proper outlet installed if it doesn't fit.

1.4 Handling Requirements

During transportation or storage, avoid dropping, impacting, or tilting the product to prevent internal damage. Use mechanical assistance like carts or workbenches for safe handling.

1.5 Storage Instructions

• When the SoC drops to 5%, charge the product immediately.
• Before storing, charge to 40%-60% SoC for optimal condition. Power off the product and disconnect all electrical connections.
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from flammable materials and gases.
• The product can be safely stored between -20°C to 40°C (-4°F to 104°F). For storage exceeding one month, an ideal temperature is around 30°C (86°F).
• Fully cycle the product every 3 months to maintain battery health. Storing for extended periods may affect performance and lifespan.

If the SoC drops to 0 (during storage or upon startup):

• Shut down immediately.
• Charge within 48 hours.
• Keep at an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F) for 6 hours before charging. Charging via AC source is recommended. If charging via solar, ensure the system provides over 100W.

ℹ️ The symbol ℹ️ indicates that you should read the accompanying literature before operation and maintenance.

• Connect the product to a grounded socket-outlet using the provided power cord. The socket-outlet should be near and easily accessible.
• Never dispose of batteries by throwing them into fire, a hot oven, or by crushing/cutting them, as this may cause explosion.
• Avoid leaving batteries in extremely high-temperature environments, as this can lead to explosion or leakage.
• Batteries subjected to extremely low air pressure may also explode or leak.
• Pay attention to environmental aspects of battery disposal.
• Refer to the exterior bottom enclosure for electrical and safety information before installation or operation.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BLUETTI shall not be liable for equipment damage caused by violation of these instructions.

7.1 AC Charging

Plug the AC2P into a standard wall outlet. It automatically stops charging when fully charged. For faster charging, enable Turbo Charging in the BLUETTI App for 80% capacity in approximately 45 minutes at 25°C (77°F).

7.2 Solar Charging

Connect solar panels (in series or parallel) via the solar charging cable. The AC2P stops charging after 1.5 hours with a continuous 200W input. Charging time varies with weather, sunlight intensity, and panel orientation.

Note: Solar panel requirements: Voc 12V-28V, Current 8.2A Max., Power 200W Max.

7.3 Car Charging

Connect the AC2P to the vehicle's 12V cigarette lighter port using the car charging cable. The AC2P charges at a maximum of 96W and stops when fully charged.

Note: Ensure your vehicle can supply power and the engine is running during charging.

ℹ️ Attention: The AC2P has a low-voltage disconnect function to protect your vehicle's battery. It stops charging if input voltage drops below 10.5V.

7.4 Generator Charging

Connect the AC2P to a generator via the AC charging cable. Charging stops automatically when full, typically within 1.4 hours if the generator output is stable.

Note: Ensure your generator's AC output voltage, frequency, and Grid Self-adaption Mode voltage meet AC2P specifications. If connected devices exceed generator capacity, enable Grid Self-adaption Mode for seamless charging.

8.1 AC Discharging

Note: Do not apply loads higher than 300W to avoid damage to the AC2P and your devices.

8.2 DC Discharging

Note: To ensure optimal performance, avoid short-circuiting ports and keep them dry. Do not block or cover ports to ensure proper ventilation.

9.1 Setting Mode

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

9.2 ECO Mode

The AC2P has two ECO modes to save power and extend battery life:

• AC-ECO Mode: Automatically turns off AC power if output falls below a certain level for a set period.
• DC-ECO Mode: Automatically turns off DC power if output falls below a certain level for a set period.

ℹ️ Attention: AC-ECO and DC-ECO modes are enabled by default. Use the BLUETTI App to enable/disable them separately. If using the LCD display, they turn on/off simultaneously. Disable ECO Mode when charging devices consuming less than 15W to avoid charging interruptions.

In Setting Mode, use the DC Power Button to navigate. Press the AC Power Button when the ECO icon flashes to enable/disable ECO Mode.

9.3 Frequency Switching

The output frequency (50Hz/60Hz) is displayed in the lower right corner. When AC output is off, press the AC Power Button in Setting Mode to switch frequency options.

9.4 Power Lifting Mode

Designed for resistive loads up to 600W (e.g., electric blankets, kettles, hairdryers). To enable, enter Setting Mode, navigate to the Power Lifting icon [Power Lifting Symbol], and press the AC Power Button.

Note: Power Lifting Mode is not enabled by default and is suitable for resistive loads between 300W-600W. The AC2P's actual operating power remains at 300W.

9.5 AC Charging Mode

The AC2P supports 3 AC charging modes: Standard, Turbo, and Silent.

In Setting Mode, navigate with the DC Power Button until the icon [Charging Mode Icon] flashes (P03). Press the AC Power Button to select the mode.

9.6 Grid Self-adaption Mode

If charging via a generator or unstable grid voltage is problematic, enable Grid Self-adaption Mode via the BLUETTI App for a stable and safe charging experience.

9.7 Exit Setting Mode

To save settings and exit Setting Mode, press and hold both AC and DC Power Buttons simultaneously. Note: If no operation is performed for 1 minute, the AC2P will exit Setting Mode automatically, and changes will not be saved.
