Really appreciate this honest review. Thank you 🙏🏾

This has all the bells and whistles that rhe Max doesn't have, except for the most important: you can only hook up 1 B230 Battery- the max does 2. The max will do 1400w of solar with DC charge enhancer, the 200L does 1200w.

I have the AC200Max. the deletion of the 30amp Aviation plug would make this unit a NO GO for me. I believe they have already addressed this screwup !

Thanks for great information great Job !!!! when do think they will sell the D-40 Adapter

The ability to run silent when charging without a brick is great as it means it can sit silently inside the RV as a UPS.

Another review said, they believe, in addition to the 48v cable there will also be a separate box to go with that cable. My guess is it will be a DC 12v step down box.. that in my understanding could give it 32 amps.. possibly because Bluetti knows how popular the 12v/30a plug was for RV and van builds, maybe that box would do, some nifty tricks to make that setup better. I’m just guessing at this point only they know. But, it also means we’re back to the separate brick or box to carry along with. Hopefully it won’t be too expensive.

Thanks for getting back to me
This unit they are to be selling will drop the power from 48 to 12 volt ?
Also what are your camping channels I would like to watch them
Happy Camping

I got the AC180P which is half the weight and half the cost. Been good so far.

Jasonoid checked the two 100 watt USC-c and could only get about 140 watts combined between the two

I really wish these power station companies would start making more considerations for 12v. Mainly - 1. The ability to charge via 12v with something other than a 10 amp cigarette lighter port. Like a DC-to-DC charger does with "dumb" batteries or Goal Zero's Yeti Link system. Having to run an inverter to charge these things is silly, when half the point of the thing is that IT IS AN INVERTER and 2. The ability to OUTPUT higher amperage via 12v like Oupes is doing with the 12v/30 amp anderson port on the Mega 2. This is perfect for powering diesel heaters or 12v accessory switching systems like those from Auxbeam, etc. I'm really not interested in any of these systems until they start satisfying those 2 requirements. It's kind of ludicrous these features don't exist when such a big part of their customer base are RVers, overlanders, campers, travelers all using 12v systems.

Thanks for the nice review. You've made my mind up. That's the one I'll be buying. How many amps will that side DC charging connection accept? (The one next to the socket for AC charging)

[jasunto]

I keep going back and forth on these vs the Anker models. I guess when it comes closer to the time I upgrade from my little Bluetti EB55, I'll see what the options and features are.

Hey thanks for the review, are there any updates on the D40? Mobile campers need that 30amp to power heater/fridge/fans. Very strange decision.
What about also pulling 10amps from an expansion battery ( B230) to the fuse box. Would that give us 20amps and maintain 12V (parallel)?

[HillaryBarry_FL]

Hey my friends, what do you mean about the UPS mode and being careful with more sensitive computers? I'm in research mode & some of this is still new to me. Thanks!

[DaveSquibbSr]

My problem with the wireless charging is that anytime your dc's on it's running and using power, they need to put an on off button specifically for the wireless charging pads you can turn it off when you're not using it.

[wuosfnj]

When you plug your bluetti directly into your camper that’s actually all you do, What about 12 V system does that still runs from your converter I do believe and if so your converter is charging your wet cell batteries or do you have lithium in your camper and if you have lithium in your camper, your converter Hass to be the new style so it can charge lithium. Why do I ask? I have a truck camper and I plug my blue Eddie AC 200 L into the 30 amp port on the outside of my camper and plug into my blue ready and use it but I have wet cell batteries in my camper and I still have to run my power through the converter so I have 12 V.

I hate when companies start changing cables that only work with their units. I have an Ecoflow and a Buetti already, they use the same charging cable, now if I buy this unit I need to make sure I have ANOTHER cable or I'm screwed!

AC200L PV MPPT is defective. I only get 140 watts max from my 250 watts solar panel . I connected a Victron controller and get 250 watts max. Bluetti service says they are working on a software update - delivery date unknown - don't hold your breath...

[josephmiller]

Have you had a chance to review ac240 yet. Just curious?

[tonyo]

how long would this run my refrigerator during a power outage?.... just average, yes I understand there are many different fridges out there just looking for an average
