BLUETTI AC180+PV200 Solar Portable Power Station

FAQS

• Q1: What is Power Lifting Mode？

  A: In this mode, AC180 can run high-power heating devices up to 2,700W, such as space heaters, hair dryers, electric blankets, etc.
  Do NOT use this unit to run an air conditioner or washing machine.

• Q2: Can it charge and discharge at the same time?

  Yes.

• Q3: How do I know whether my appliance can work well with the AC180?

  Calculate the total wattage of your devices. AC180 should work if the load doesn't exceed its rated 1,800W.

• Q4: How long can it run my device?

  A: The AC180 has different running times depending on the device you're using it with.
  The running time = Battery capacity × DoD × η ÷ (load power + self-consumption of AC180). DoD refers to Depth of Discharge and η is local inverter efficiency.
  For AC180, DoD is 90%, η is 85%, and self-consumption is about 15W. E.g. If you run a 100W blender with it, the running time will be: 1152Wh × 90% × 85% ÷ (100W+15W) ≈ 7.66 hrs
  Note: 1) The formula is NOT suitable for inductive loads with compressors, like refrigerators, air conditioners, etc. 2) The above data is for reference ONLY.

• Q5: How quickly can I charge the AC180?
