  20ms.

• Q18: Can I use third party solar panels to charge AC500?

  Yes, the solar panels must meet the following conditions:
  1) Total voltage:12-150V
  2) Total power: 3000W max.
  3) With MC4 connectors

• Q19: Can I use rooftop solar panel to charge AC500?

  Yes, but please note that your solar roof must meet:
  1. No micro-inverter
  2. Open circuit voltage 12-150V
  3. With MC4 connectors
  Note: When OCV exceeds 150V, you may use BLUETTI D300S* to step down the voltage to achieve solar charging.

• Q20: Does AC500 support charging and discharging at the same time?

  Yes.

• Q21：How long will AC500 run my device?

  Running time = battery capacity x DoD x η ÷ device rated power DoD: Depth of Discharge, η: local inverter efficiency. For AC500, both DoD and η are 90%. If you run a 1,000W microwave oven with a AC500 + B300S combo, the running time will be 3,072Wh × 90% × 90% ÷ 1,000W ≈ 2.5 hours
  Note:
  1) This formula doesn't apply to inductive loads with compressors, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, etc.
  2) The above data is for reference ONLY.

• Q22: Is AC500 waterproof?

  No, please keep it in a dry place.

• Q23: Can I use the fusion box in high voltage areas?

  No.

• Q24: Why does a warning come up when using a diesel heating pump with the cigarette lighter port?
