Excellent unit with ability to expand for many needs.
I love (almost) everything about this BLUETTI power station.I purchased it to be able to charge my many batteries for landscaping and lawn mowing. I needed a power source to charge 2 batteries at the same time, but did not want to come short, so chose more than double the capacity, which was a blessing, because now I can charge 4 Stihl Ap batteries at the same time.I later added a 350w solar panel, which was completely inadequate for my needs, so I mainly charged the power station via grid. This is a fantastic system, because it manages very well the power going through for a needed power source and then it charges the internal battery with the extra power that it draws off the grid.I used it all summer and then bought an extension battery. Although I could not be happier with all the components, the connecting cable is way too short and even when I bought the recommended cable which is a little longer, the components would only stack with the battery front side pointing to the back.After this incident, I re-located the power station into my fish room shed, where there was a little more room to stack the 2 components in an l- shaped configuration, the only way that the longer cable would be long enough!!!Now I am actually using a different function of the the power station, that I had no real use for in the car: I set up the peak and off peak feature, so that the batteries discharge during on-peak and it recharge during off-peak, so that I only pay the off peak rate. The solar panel got permanently installed, so I get whatever light there is. Unfortunately we are quite shaded and strangely enough the maximum peak of the 350w panel has only been 260w at full sunlight in the off season.Would I recommend this power station to others? Absolutely!!!!! Every time. What you get for the price is pretty amazing and hard to beat.Now if you plan to add expansion batteries, I would recommend the Apex 300, because it has the ports on the corresponding side and stacks beautifully,But as a stand-alone and off-grid vacation and even a tiny house or a shed, absolutely go with the AC200l.It is built super well and the app is extremely useful and has many more features, that you can not access simply by the unit. If you have good WiFi, you can check on the status anywhere and make changes. Just don’t turn the unit off when you are away, because to turn it on again, you need to push the physical button.This unit is excellent for construction work and landscaping and minor emergency situations. The included battery safe charger is excellent if you are on the road a lot. I only went up to 200 w charge on my pickup, but I believe with changing the setting, you could go up to 450w, depending on your vehicle’s alternator.Now go order a unit for yourself. The price dropped a little since I bought mine. You will not regret this purchase.I actually chose BLUETTI , this was long before I discovered all the useful purposes, to be able to build up an expandable system, that maybe covering all my electricity needs one day, without putting out a whole lot of money in the beginning and in the process of expanding, to really learn what I need and what components I might not need at the time.So my personal power system is growing with my needs and available spending money!

So far, its a great power station
So far, this unit has been trouble free. I like the connectivity features, and expand-ability. I tested it with my 100W solar panel, which fed it 19VDC at 90ish watts. It charged the battery 10 % in about an hour and a half. That’s not terrible considering it is only 100W.I previously had a AC180 which I sold, this is a much more solid choice. Its heavier, and bigger but offers double the WH. Worth it.

Awesome, although I’ve only used it to power the tv, and Chromecast, and charge a couple of phones, all simultaneously. It took about 18 hours of all of that before getting empty.It held a full charge for a year, because I hadn’t realised that you’re supposed to fully drain them once every 3 months. I love the peace of mind of having this around, and it’s such a tough, good quality build. Next power outage I’ll try plugging the full size freezer to it to see how long that lasts

I bought the AC200L for both boondocking and for home use. I used it last week while camping at a site without any electricity and I’m happy to say that it exceeded my expectations. It ran everything in my camper with ease. I purchased 2 of the PV200 solar panels with it and they worked great restoring the AC200L’s battery within 5 or 6 hours of good sunlight. I also charged it during a cloudy day by using my Honda eu2200i generator which worked out great as well. The AC200L started up my 13500 btu air conditioner no problem and I ran it long enough to cool the camper down, though it can’t run it for more than 1 and a half hours or so before needing a recharge, though it was good to know that it would start and run it. My camper does not have a soft start so even more impressive. Also I really like the ups features of the unit as I can tell it when to recharge itself during offpeak hours from my power company to help save a few bucks. At home I have my computer and other electronics connected to it and run them throughout the day then it recharges itself at night. It is on the heavier side but the 2 handles really help when lifting it. I think the AC200L is a great addition for many reasons especially for camping when you can’t get full service sites and also for home power outages which seem to be happening more often these days. Really like being able to charge it with my small generator quickly when there is no sun for solar charging, they make a good combo for any occasion. It’s also far quieter than my little generator which is very quiet for a gas generator to begin with. Highly recommend.

Charge très rapidement ce qui permet de recharger sur la route discrètement sur les prises de parcs etc. Ça permet de faire de long road trip ou des campings sans service. 3/4 h pour une plein charge!
