The AC200L that I bought just got delivered today , how complicated is this thing to set up and operate, if it works normally should I still upgrade the firmware?
I like to keep firmware current and have had upgrades only provide benefit. To get it working is literally just remove from box, connect power cord to unit and wall, it should auto power on and start charging. To turn on output just press either AC or DC as needed. I encourage downloading and using the Bluetti app, it is very convenient.
@@DougKremer This confirms on other videos I watched where on one channel they said these can be glitchy where some features didn’t work and it was mentioned that it would be hit or miss if you got one that didn’t have problems , they also never mentioned anything about that these units needed updating, sounds like they weren’t aware of them , I was beginning to regret buying this until i watched your video , I seen that video after I ordered it but before I received it . I ordered mine with the bluetti 350 watt panel, it can handle up to 700 watts so I’m going to save up and get a second 350 so I can have more input then output, I’ve heard that once the batteries are fully charged by solar the charger shuts off , this way I can get maximum daytime power , thanks for the tip 👍
I have a dozen Bluetti products now, maybe more. All have been wonderful. Firmware upgrades have enabled new features like being able to see power and use graphs on the AC500 and 300 in the app, and remotely set the input current limits. Yes when the unit gets to 100% it will stop taking solar input. You can't make solar power if you don't have anywhere to store or use it. it will turn the input on again once it drops to 99%.
@ I was going to get a 300 but the ac200l was already pushing it weight wise , it may cost more in the long run but I can always get an expansion battery but the second panel would have to come first because a single 350 would probably take to long to charge that much battery capacity , I haven’t unboxed it yet but I plan to later tonight, I’m kind of geeked up to see it , this was my Christmas present to MEEEEE . I usually keep the original boxes on expensive electronics until the warranty runs out incase it has sent back for a warranty issue, the carton is very heavy duty and it would be hard to find a suitable container. I almost forgot to click like , thanks again.
Thank you, this helped me a lot!
Glad it helped!
What is the app you’re using at the beginning of the video that show icons for: add device, my devices, Bluetooth, scan, etc.?
It is the Bluetti app.

@ The AC200L is a very versatile and efficient machine. It would be my choice over the AC300 unless I needed the few extra continuous watts.
