NEW 48V Port and not 12V? BLUETTI AC200L Powerstation Walkthrough

Looking at Bluetti's New AC200L Powerstation and a Sneak peak of the New Bluetti D40 DCDC Charger. Bluetti replaced the popular 12V 30A port of the Bluetti AC200MAX with a rather odd 48V 8A port and I found out why.

Nice sincere review, Alex. It will be an interesting option to have that D40 interfacing with an existing conventional setup. It surely makes it an option to has a a backup battery or to extend existing systems.
Thanks for the video.

Good unbiased view, very good cheers .

Potentially looking at military applications with the screw connectors & larger XC, possibly R&D plans for larger capacity models?

A little trick I found when I tried to start a Chinese diesel with a Bluetti EB3A with 10A 12V was to connect a Maxwell Ultracapacitor I had knocking about, I could then get the heater to start and run.

I recently bought a AC200Max to power my camper(s) I have a two so can swap it between them (saves money)and also use it for power tools for work, works great. I use a 1000 watt inverter to charge it whilst the engine was running. I don’t really like the touch screen and would prefer buttons like on the EB3A.

I guess what I don’t like when using it to power a camper, if it stops working you lose everything!!! Fortunately on my recent trip to Europe it worked flawlessly, unlike my T4 where the cambelt snapped in the South of France 😭

So I just ordered the AC200L. Is there no way to power my 12v system through it? That’s my only reason for getting this model with the 2048wh. Thank you!

Thanks, very good info and great edit. This unit was first pick for our van, but the 48V DC output is a deal breaker. D40 is going to be expensive, and for what it does, totally unnecessary.
The newest AC240 has dedicated 12V 30A output, and is $300 cheaper right now. Trade off is solar limitations and weight, It's a beastly 33kg/72lb.

[TheVentureCrew]

Awesome review, I have one of these. Can you tell me what the physical connection to the hook up is on the van side please? 🙏🏻

[Lee_Proffit]

I have the smaller brother of this, the AC180P. When connected to solar and the sun hides behind a cloud, it has a rally annoying click as something disconnects inside, does the AC200L have this feature ?
Love the new screen, miss the light (but as it's not really portable I can understand it's removal)

[victorjoseph]

I find it strange that 48volt option we pay for but not available ???? when will it be available? isn't it pre mature? offer 48 volts when what uses it isn't yet available???

[baranduda]

I have had my AC200L for two weeks now and it is a great product. However, in Australia at least, the support is almost non existent.

[krustykamper]

The D40 has now been released here in Europe. 219€
Mine just arrived, I'm really disapointed with it.
I was told it would give me 12v 30amp like the AC200Max.
Yes you can run it as a load supply or as a house battery charger.
BUT It only gives 12v 20Amp. not the 30Amp as I was told by Bluetti before I bought it.
So for me it's usless, and to make it worse the costs of 219€ seems exorbitant for what you are getting
So I have no idea what the 48v output replacement can be used for, especially as it seems the only thing you can plug into it is the D40 :(

[norwegiangadgetman]

Hm...
That Electric bicycle you used last year... Doesn't that have a 48V motor?
Place the Powerstation in a bicycle trailer and hook it up to the bike with a cable...
No need to waste power by charging the bike battery from the power station you had on the pannier. ;-)

[MyMRRWIND]

Can you plug 12v DC plugs into the D40? Like for DC fans or microwaves?

[davidpatrick]

Groovy... I want 50 of them for my mansion in the .. oh well.. 🙂

[sunseeker]

This power station makes no sense and I can't understand why it was make. It was meant to update the AC200 Max. But taking away the 2 wireless charging on top, plus the 12v 30 amp and this 48v input is useless has from today they still haven't come out with a plug for it. But now the new AC240 it out. This is the real update to the 200 Max. Just not sure why it's IP65. I don't know many people that would leave it outside in the rain without anything plugged into it? And they have put back the 12v 30 amp. This is great for van lifers as we can use this to power all our 12v. And it can still be charged via car EV stations to which is a plus.
