BLUETTI Portable Power Station AC200MAX, 2048Wh Solar Generator Expandable to 8192Wh, 5 2200W AC Outlets, LiFePO4 Battery for Camping, Emergency

Title: PACKED WITH POWER AND FEATURES.One of the main reasons I purchased the AC200Max is because it's capacity is expandable to a whopping 8,192wh. Now that's a lot of power, not to mention the upgraded features that are packed into this unit. It can be charged multiple ways...using the included AC wall outlet adapter or car charger, by solar panels, or with a lead acid battery. It can also be dual charged thanks to the integrated dual charging system. What's also really nice is that you can charge it with only one solar panel. Charging is slower with only one panel, but it's a nice option to have if you cannot afford to purchase multiple panels all at one time. This makes it feasible to be able to purchase one panel at a time and still be able to charge your power station. The upgraded MPPT controller can handle up to 900w of solar input and it also has a built in TT30 (RV30) outlet designed especially for those living life on the road. RV and Vanlife enthusiasts can use the TT30 outlet at nearly any RV park or campground in the United States or Canada.Another really nice feature that the AC200Max offers is that it supports Bluetooth and it can be controlled by the Bluetti Smartphone App where you can easily monitor charging and manage the power distribution remotely, which makes it super convenient in today's world. Some of the other features this unit boasts are 4 AC outlets, 4 USB outlets, a 100w PD 3.0 USB-C for quick charging your devices, or if you prefer, you can charge your devices cable-free with the two built-in wireless chargers located on top of the unit. It also has a power-saving ECO mode option accessible through the touchscreen menu that will automatically turn off the AC output if the load on it is less than 50W over a span of 4 hours. The touchscreen menu is super easy to navigate and very user friendly. This powerful beast is packed with enough power to go completely off-grid. It even has the power to recharge your Tesla or e-bike. Whatever your scenario entails... from your smartphone to a power outage disaster, to your Tesla, the AC200Max is sure to meet you needs. With the superior LifePO4 quality, reliability, and expandable capacity, Bluetti has you covered.I am very pleased with my purchase of the AC200Max and I'm looking forward to using it on my adventures and taking advantage of that expandable capacity when I am able to add it on. Having the option and capability to expand the capacity, the convenience of using the app remotely, and having a TT30 outlet make the AC200Max well worth purchasing. There's just so much you can do with this much power. Whether you're going completely off-grid, or traveling the country utilizing the RV30 outlet, it couldn't get much easier with this power station. This easily makes the AC200Max the power station of choice for my family.

Does everything I wanted it to, and more. Can run my Travel Trailer A/C with a soft starter installed, as the compressor cycles on and off it can honestly go for a few hours even in high heat with a 13500 BTU unit.It has 30 amp power so I can plug directly into my RV as well, plus plenty of outgoing juice for day to day items. Roughly the same size as my 2250i gas generator, but quite a bit heavier due to the battery.Nice that it has add-on batteries. They're expensive, but I like the option and will likely do one next summer. Handled everything I threw at it for this camping year.The only knock I have, if any, is that it is heavy. It's a huge battery, so a bit expected, but like you have to plan for it. I wouldn't want to take this tent camping, car camping/glamping sure. Small travel trailer is really where this thing shines though. Does have handles that make it easy to move around. One other small knock is that with even a basic case that has a little lip around the camera area of my iPhone it wont charge on the wireless charger on the top. Other devices work though.The app is fine and serves it's purpose. The screen itself is good enough, viewing angle could be better and it could be faster to show up the first time, but these are all minor things on an otherwise well designed and well utilized product. I'd recommend it highly.

(currently editing the unboxing video, will update this review once fully rendered)The AC200MAX is a really solid offering from Bluetti.A bit of background for context -I do not camp with these, I do not use them lightly. I live completely off-grid in a mountainous rainforest and reliable power is, well, super important. I've got through several brands/types of battery all the way back to my giant, unwieldy 12-volt SLA 8 battery setup. (and that one didn't come with handles) so, I've been down several roads, several configurations, more than my share of heartbreaks due to unthought out, unupdatable products. With that said, let's get to the review of the AC200MAX:There are always pros and cons, and who doesn't love a quick list (TLDR) PROS:* Outstanding packaging: My box was damaged upon delivery. Something punctured both the outer and inner box. I was a bit disheartened, but when I opened, not one single scratch on the unit.* Display: Touchscreen! (super cool) Things have really improved over at Bluetti labs, this display is nothing like the smaller units. This gives a nice % of battery remaining, charging watts (Grid and PV), dispersing watts (AC/DC) I've attached a screenshot of the Android app, have a look. Cool powerwall type animations as well. (it's the little things)* Battery life: With the AC200MAX, I'm getting the watt hours I'm expecting. There is always an overhead for internals / inverters etc, but I did not find them to be extreme or unexpected with this unit. * Bluetooth: This will allow me to integrate with my home automation server to get, well, data. I LOVE data. * Data: Speaking of data, the display lets you monitor just about every little tiny thing you could monitor! * Build quality: I'm going to have a hard time breaking this one. This was a really well thought out design. Proprietary wiring, but most brands do have proprietary wiring and sockets so in the end, not at all a minus for me. I just need to keep track of the cords.* Solar charge time: Amazing. Please see below in the CONS section for the bit about solar charge time.* Customer Support: I can't tell you how much I love Blueitti's support. They REALLY listen to their customers - in fact, your suggestion really does have a good chance of making it into a build (as long as the suggestion falls within product spec)CONS:* Charging time: At 2400 watt hours, it will take a bit of time to fully charge. Seems to be around 4ish hours on grid alone, substantially less when you add in a solar array. Seems to cap at about 480 watts from the grid, but even in the winter snow (2" on the panel) I was still pulling in 95 watts from the PV's, so I'm really looking forward to summertime. I'll never turn the gas generator on.* Power LED: OK, I am stretching the use of CON here, but the halo light around the power button is really bright. Again, firmware update could (assumably) make this dimmable.* Power Supply: Like the smaller units, the power supply fan runs constantly, even when the unit is at a full SOC. I use an automation routine from the Home Automation Pi to get around this, so at least for me, this is a non issue. (yes, you read that right: I'm off-grid with a fully automated cabin)Now, that's not a lot of CONS, and every one of them has NOTHING to do with the unit itself, nor would I not purchase this AC200MAX because of them. Like I said above, they are all solvable, and none are blocking.Overall, REALLY happy with this unit and am looking forward to what Blueitti has up their collective sleeves for the future.
