Several times we have talked about portable power stations (or Power Stations) from BLUETTI, some devices capable of servicing computers or even household appliances wherever you are and for a fairly respectable time. Now the manufacturer has announced the availability in Europe of two of its most recognized models, the AC200MAX and the AC300, of which we are going to talk to you next since, in addition, you can acquire them at a reduced price for a limited time.
The revolutionary BLUETTI AC200 Power Station was initially released in July 2020, and after raising a staggering $6.7 million on crowdfunding platform Indiegogo and selling tens of thousands of units over the past year, BLUETTI has continued working on making important improvements to its products, listening to the opinion of its customers. Today, they are extremely pleased to announce the completion of this work with the new AC200MAX and AC300, now available on the European continent.
AC300: a huge step forward with 3 kW and 12,288 kWh
The first BLUETTI Power Station capable of delivering 3,000W of power, the EP500 Pro, caused a sensation at its premiere on Kickstarter. Now, shortly after the end of its crowdfunding, the company is pleased to announce its first much more flexible 3 kW modular model.
This is a model whose design has been pleasantly refined, with a rectangular case with two carrying / lifting handles for greater comfort. However, surprisingly, this model does not integrate an internal battery but is designed to work in conjunction with other systems, such as the B300 batteries that are, in fact, designed for this model.
This new modular design concept is quite bold on BLUETTI’s part, but for a heavy-duty unit like the AC300, this design not only significantly reduces its weight but also allows users to replace the batteries, both when they are already too worn. as when they run out (for example, you can use a B300 battery and, when it runs out, replace it with another one and continue working with it). Also, as the system is modular, batteries can be transported individually for added convenience.
According to the manufacturer, these are its best benefits:
- The AC300 is 100% modular and supports up to 4 B300 battery modules at a time, totaling 12,288 Wh. Good luck running out of battery.
- Being modular means that people can transport large amounts of energy more easily. All in all, the machine would be too heavy to transport, but it makes things a lot easier.
- The AC300 uses high-end LFP cells with over 3,500 life cycles leading to 80% of their original capacity (in other words, if you use one life cycle a day, every day, their life expectancy is over 10 years).
- It is capable of receiving up to 2,400 watts of solar charging input.
- It is equipped with a 3,000-watt pure sine wave inverter, capable of adjusting the charging speed.
- While connected to 2 or more B300 battery modules, the AC300 can be charged by both solar and AC power simultaneously, adding up to 5,400 watts for ultra-fast charging.
- All this technology can be controlled through an App on the smartphone, connecting it via WiFi or Bluetooth to the device.
AC200MAX, the successor of the largest, updated
The new BLUETTI AC200MAX, despite looking aesthetically identical to the previous AC200P, the manufacturer has introduced many changes and improvements that make this a much more attractive product in its own right.
The AC200MAX is the reality of the world’s first modular solar power station, a leading player in the portable solar power industry. Thanks to its expandability, this device is ideal to have a small power station for when you are away from home, or even as an emergency device at home. It has solar charging options and through alternating current (conventional plug). For solar charging, it has an input capacity of up to 900 watts, while for current charging it adds up to an additional 500 watts for a total of 1400W).
If this sounds great to you, we’re not done yet: in addition to offering conventional AC and solar charging, the AC200MAX supports charging from many other sources, including an EV station, sunroof, wind turbines, gas generator, or even batteries. 12V/24V car. Furthermore, after listening to user feedback, the BLUETTI AC200MAX also supports Bluetooth connection and can be controlled wirelessly via iOS and Android smartphones, and is also compatible with external battery packs!
The AC200MAX supports up to two additional battery packs, and the BLUETTI B230 or B300 models can be used interchangeably. With two B300s, you can expand the AC200MAX to a maximum capacity of 8,192Wh to meet all your essential needs at home or on the go for hours, days, or even more than a week.
