BLUETTI Solar Generator AC200L & Charger 1 560W Alternator Charger 2048Wh

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 appreciate the detailed written instructions that come with this portable power station. I charged up the battery with the AC cord and tried running a fan, my laptop, and a light. Works great. I’m ready for the next time the electricity goes out to have a few basic items available.

This is my second Bluetti. My first I used for 3 years and only made this purchase to increase my power availability. I haven’t set up the “Charger 1” yet because that part of the project hasn’t happened; but the power station itself is working like a charm and has met my every expectation!

This unit is one of the best Ive found it will now be the foundation of my off grid RV system. Its full of capabilities and power!

DC40 has been replaced with a new unit and it also doesn’t work properly. It cannot keep constant power when a large load is applied and my lights turn off for a second along with my refrigerator. Quality is disappearing with everything made today!

USB ports loose straight from the factory. Opened up ticket with Bluetti documenting on video within 30 days of purchase and they ghosted me. Like who does that??? It's a shame because I had purchased TWO of these from a company with terrible customer service and obviously quality control. Avoid bluetti at all costs!

I’ve been dealing with BLUETTI for over 6 months , I’ve had 3 replacements & the last one was the worst! Now they tell me the unit THEY RECOMMENDED TO US IS DISCONTINUED! We bought it through AFFIRM so the last 6 months have been going STRAIGHT TO INTEREST ! , so even if we get a full refund we are out A FEW GRAND ! Bottom line, don’t buy BLUETTI !

Excellent produit
