Charging
Adapter Charging
Plug the AC200P into a standard wall outlet, and press the power button to start charging.
Diagram: Wall outlet -> AC adapter -> BLUETTI AC200P.
PV Charging
Connect the solar panels (in series or parallel) to AC200P via the multifunctional DC charging cable and solar charging cable.
Note: Make sure your solar panels have an open circuit voltage of 35V-150V.
Diagram: Solar panels connected via cables to BLUETTI AC200P.
Recommended BLUETTI Solar Panels
Model | Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) | Power | Quantity (Wired in Series) |
---|---|---|---|
PV120 | 24.4V | 120W | 2-6 |
PV200 | 26.1V | 200W | 2-5 |
PV350 | 42V | 350W | 1-3 |
i) AC200P supports up to 700W solar input. In other words, if you're using solar panels with a total power of 800W to charge AC200P, the extra 100W will not be needed for charging but squander away directly.
ii) Do not use solar panels with an open circuit voltage of over 150V, as this may cause damage to AC200P.
iii) At least 2 pieces of PV120 or PV200 are required to charge AC200P.
Car Charging
Connect AC200P to the vehicle plug-in cigarette lighter port via multifunctional DC charging cable and car charging cable. Press the power button to start charging.
Note: Set the ‘Car' as DC input source to enable car charging. The vehicle cigarette lighter port can at least support 8.2A.
Diagram: Vehicle cigarette lighter port connected via cables to BLUETTI AC200P.
Generator Charging
Connect AC200P to the generator's AC outlet via AC adapter, and press the power button to start charging.
Diagram: Generator AC outlet connected via AC adapter to BLUETTI AC200P.
Discharging
Estimated runtimes for various devices:
- Cellphone: 150-160 Times (10Wh)
- LED Light: 75-85hrs (20W)
- TV: 20-22hrs (75W)
- Power Tools: 19-20hrs (80W)
- Fridge: 17-19hrs (90W)
- Slow Cooker: 8-9hrs (200W)
Formula for estimated charging time: 2000Wh * DoD * η ÷ (load power) = estimated time
Note: DoD refers to the Depth of Discharge, η is the local inverter efficiency. DoD=90%, η=90%. DoD may vary depending on ambient-operating temperature and discharge rate. Load power and charging time are measured in Watt and Hour.
* The lead-acid charging cable is for recharging AC200P ONLY. Please contact BLUETTI customer service for details and get it directly from https://www.bluettipower.com/products/12v-24v-lead-acid-battery-charging-cable.
12V/24V Lead-acid Battery Charging
Connect AC200P to the battery via multifunctional DC charging cable and lead-acid battery charging cable*. Clamp the positive connector (red) to the positive battery terminal and negative (black) to the other.
Note: Set the ‘Car' as DC input source to enable lead-acid battery charging. If charging AC200P with a 12V lead-acid battery, make sure it discharges at above 11.5V. If it's a 24V lead-acid battery, the discharge voltage should be higher than 23V. The Max. input current is 8.2A.

Appendix
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
- Q: How do I know whether my devices will work well with this product?
- A: Please evaluate the total constant load of your appliances. If it doesn't exceed the Max. output power of AC200P, you can use this power station.
- Q: Can I use third-party solar panels to charge this product?
- A: Yes, you can. Make sure your solar panels have an open circuit voltage of 35V-150V and have the MC4 connectors. Please do NOT mix different types of solar panels.
- Q: What does the Depth of Discharge(DoD) refer to?
- A: DoD indicates the fraction of power that can be withdrawn from the battery. The BLUETTI AC200P sets the DoD to 90%, which means that 90% of the capacity is available to power your device, while the reserved is used to protect the battery from over-discharging.
- Q: Can it charge and discharge at the same time?
- A: Yes, but it has no UPS feature.
- Q: How to disable the touch screen sound?
- A: Sorry, it cannot be turned off.
- Q: How to put the screen to sleep while charging and discharging?
- A: The screen has no sleep mode and stays on whenever AC200P charges or discharges.
- Q: Can it run my refrigerator, window air conditioner or power drill?
- A: Yes, but they typically require a startup power of 5-7 times the rated, easily overloading AC200P.
- Q: Can two AC200P be paired for higher output voltage, power and capacity?
- A: No.
- Q: Can the AC200P be connected to the home circuit breaker box?
- A: No.
- Q: Why does the screen display 0 watt output when I plug in a small load, like a 35W LED lamp?
- A: The current is too small to be measured accurately when connected to low loads.
