01. BRIEF INTRODUCTION

The B230 is an extension battery pack with a 2048Wh capacity, designed to support the BLUETTI AC200MAX series. An AC200MAX + B230 setup can serve as an emergency power center for home or travel essential appliances. With sufficient solar panels, it enables off-grid living.

02. ABBREVIATION

• BMS: Battery Management System
• SOC: State of Charge
• AC: Alternating Current
• DC: Direct Current
• PV: Solar Panel(s) Charging (Photovoltaic)
• Grid: Home Power Supplied by Utility
• T500: 500W Additional Adapter
• DOD: Depth of Discharge

03. SAFETY INSTRUCTION

• DO NOT place the power station near heat sources. It is prohibited to operate the equipment in environments with flammable, explosive gas, or smoke.
• DO NOT attempt to replace the internal battery or any other component of the equipment. There are no end-user serviceable components.
• DO NOT operate in wet conditions. If the equipment becomes wet, allow it to dry completely before use.
• Ensure proper ventilation while in use and do not obstruct fan openings. Inadequate ventilation may cause permanent damage.
• DO NOT move the unit while operating, as vibrations and sudden impacts may lead to poor connections.
• Warning: DO NOT insert foreign objects into any ports of the B230. Operate carefully and keep children away.
• In case of fire, only a dry powder fire extinguisher is suitable for the product.

08. RECHARGE

AC Charging (Default)

Diagram showing the B230 connected to a T500 adapter, which is plugged into a wall outlet.

Estimation of Charging Time: 2048Wh / 500W(T500 adapter) + (0.5 - 1 Hrs Trickle Charging) = 4.6-5.1Hrs for AC200MAX fully charged via T500 adapter only.

Estimation of Running Time: 2048Wh / 96W(MacBookPro) * 0.9(DoD) * 0.9(η) = 17 Times.

DoD indicates Depth of Discharge. η indicates efficiency.

Extension Charging 02

SOC-A: the remaining capacity of AC200MAX

SOC-B: the remaining capacity of B230 battery pack

When SOC-A = SOC-B, both units are charged simultaneously.

When SOC-A < SOC-B, AC200MAX is charged first by all power sources until SOC-A = SOC-B, then both units are charged simultaneously.

When SOC-A > SOC-B, only AC200MAX is recharged.

(T500 adapter on B230)

When SOC-A = SOC-B, both units are charged simultaneously.

When SOC-A < SOC-B, B230 is charged by exterior power source (e.g., T500 Adapter), and AC200Max is charged by B230.

When SOC-A > SOC-B, B230 is charged first by all power sources until SOC-B = SOC-A, then both units are charged simultaneously.

09. AC200MAX + B230 EXTRA BATTERYS

Step 1: Turn ON/OFF B230.

Step 2: Press the button (a) and fully plug the Battery Extension Cable into the battery port of AC200Max.

Step 3: Push forward the switch (b) to lock the connection.
