Q1: How do I know whether my devices will work well with this product?
A: Please evaluate the total constant load of your devices. If it doesn't exceed the Max. output power of AC180P (1800W), you can use this power station to run your devices. Note: Some devices with built-in motor/compressor may start at 2-4 times the rated power, which can easily overload the AC180P.
Q2: Can I use third-party solar panels to charge this product?
A: Yes, you can. Make sure your solar panels have an open circuit voltage of 12V-60V and have the MC4 connectors. Please do NOT mix different types of solar panels. Note: Time required for one full charge depends on weather condition, the sunshine intensity and the angle of solar panels.
Q3: Can it charge and discharge at the same time?
A: A: Yes. It supports pass-through charging. AC180P comes with the premium LiFePO4 battery and proprietary Battery Management System to ensure that it can charge and discharge at the same time.
Q4: What is ECO mode and can I turn it off?
A: ECO mode helps save power, and you can turn it on or off on the screen. When operating on ECO mode, the AC/DC output will automatically turn off if the AC180P is bearing low or no load for a while. You can set the power threshold of AC output and DC output to 15-30W /5-10W, respectively, for 1, 2, 3, or 4 hours.
Q5: Why is the charging power often too low?
A: AC180P has a built-in intelligent BMS that automatically adjusts the charging power in response to the battery temperature and SoC, thus protecting the battery and extending its service life.
Q6: Can I make the AC180P less noisy when charging?
A: Yes. Select “Silent” for AC charging in the BLUETTI app. Please refer to 4.3.1 AC Charging for more details.
Q7: When should I use the Grid Enhancement mode?
A: This mode is handy when charging the AC180P via an unstable AC source, such as an unreliable grid or generator.
E.g. If you change the generator's output while charging the AC180P, the voltage dip will also cause the charge to fail.
