We believe the AC200P is a great value for the money we spent. The unit came with a 51% charge and we immediately plugged in our phones to charge using the power delivery 12v port. We charged up the unit the next day, using 3 120w Bluetti solar panels and added another 215w solar blanket in serial to charge at 362 watts. It only took a few hours to fully charge the unit. We then tested a 1500w Lasko Motion room heater. We used it over an hour before recharging the unit.We plan to use this unit as a backup when the power is out due to weather or our electric utility deciding to protect themselves from risk. We will also use this to boondock in our RV. Our testing so far shows that it will work as a big part of our solution and provide a peace of mind!

I bought the Bluetti AC200P along with 3 200w Rich Solar panels to provide a backup power source at home during power outages. I was able to fully charge the battery in 1 day with the 3 panels and was able to run my full size home refrigerator/freezer for 15 hours from the battery only. When running the refrigerator at the same time as solar charging, I was able to get the battery up to 75% during a single day. With a fourth panel I could run the refrigerator indefinitely as long as the sun is shining.The AC200P can charge from wall and/or solar at the same time, while also outputting AC and/or DC at the same time. There is an easy to use touch screen that shows the power coming in/out to each of these sources/destinations.As an adult male I was easily able to carry the unit by myself, but it has well positioned handles to enable carrying by 2 people if needed.Overall it's a great unit for backup during power outages and I can see how it would be handy on a camping trip or other portable power needs.

So far so good. I purchase this AC200P for emergency usage incase the power grid was to go off. So far i was able to fully charge this in a few hours using 4 250watts solar panel connected in series. I lay the panel on the ground in my back yard and was able to charge the ac200p at 720watts max.

I bought the AC200p Bluetti right after Texas had the winter power outage February 2021. Our house didn't have power from Monday at 8am to Thursday at 5pm. I wanted to add a way to have power even if the grid was down. I own two gas generators and even bought a couple of Mr. Heaters to keep the house warm using propane. Like they say it happens once it is a warning happens twice it's on you. I wanted a Solar Generator able to do a fast charge just in case I needed to charge them off the gas-propane generator The AC200p Bluetti has that option to buy a second power supply which I did. One hooks up to the solar panel connection and another standard power connection. I hooked up the solar panels and the additional power supply in parallel. I also installed a smart Alexa power switch just in case I need to charge them in a real emergency remotely or verbal command. I found used solar panels on Facebook marketplace. four 400 watt panels total 1600 watts "2 panels in series plus 2 panels in series equals both sets of series in parallel" 46v +46v=92v @ 10amp at each series grand parallel total 92volts @ 20 amps. Yes, I over paneled the setup. The AC200p Bluetti does have a 12amp limit but the built in charge controller limits the amps to under 12amps. In cloudy or rainy days over paneling does still give you a great charge rate. This setup is 100% off grid and with the ability to say Alexa turn on Solar Generator to insure it is charged 100% during any storm or bad event it does give you that peace of mind. There is a negative that I have to say I use about 80 watts 24/7 which last about 20 hours before it discharges the battery below 15% but have never had it run completely out and only noticed it after it had been cloudy and rainy for like 4 days straight. So I tested how long before I had to charge it just under 20 hours. I power my Internet Fiber box, Router, Coax wifi box, 2 wyze cameras, Ring security system, house phone, FireTV local tv station reco

I use battery-based “solar” generators around the house whenever I need power in places that are inconvenient to run an extension cord. For example, last week my wife and I cooked some food in a crock pot for a relative. We needed to deliver it in the middle of the 8 hour cooking cycle so I plugged the pot into a Maxoak 500 watt battery generator and put the whole thing in the car for the 30 minute drive. When we arrived, we just plugged the pot into their kitchen outlet so it could finish cooking.I figured out a long time ago that the units made by Maxoak were a cut above the others I had bought earlier, so I have stuck with their products since then. I have an older 4,000 watt-hour unit, a 400 watt-hour unit, a 500 watt-hour unit, a 1,000 watt-hour unit and now I just bought their new Bluetti AC200P unit, which is 2,000 watt-hours. I charge all of my battery systems with solar power so I normally don’t use the chargers they include with them. For the AC200P I have ordered some parts to allow me to connect it to one of my solar panel arrays that fall within the 35-150 volts specified in the manual, but for this review, I am using the charger included with the unit.The AC200P is the first product from Maxoak/Bluetti that uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4) batteries. All earlier models were built around Lithium Ion batteries. LiFePo4 batteries are safer and they last longer. That is, if you treat them right, they will continue to provide at least 80% of their rated capacity for 1,000-2,000 full charging cycles. The AC200P will likely exceed even that because the unit is designed to cut off the outputs and charging cycle so that you can only use 90% of the battery’s actual capacity. This is a good tradeoff between usable capacity and life extension. And, the AC200P battery is 48 volts rather than the 12 volts of most solar generators. That should translate into a more reliable, longer lasting AC inverter since it doesn’t need to boost the voltage as far and thus ke
