FAQ
Q1: What is Power Lifting Mode?
-
A: In Power Lifting Mode, the AC180P can run high-power heating devices up to 2,700W, like space heaters, hair dryers, and electric blankets. Do not use it for air conditioners or washing machines.
Q2: Can it charge and discharge at the same time?
Q3: How do I know whether my appliance can work well with the AC180P?
-
A: Calculate the total wattage of your devices. AC180P should work if the load doesn't exceed its rated 1,800W.
Q4: How long can it run my device?
-
A: Running time varies based on the device. For high-power devices: Running time = Battery capacity × DoD × η ÷ load power. For low-power devices: Running time = Battery capacity × DoD × η ÷ (load power + self-consumption of AC180P). DoD is 90%, η (local inverter efficiency) is 85%, and self-consumption is about 15W. Example: 100W blender running time ≈ 7.66 hrs. Note: Not suitable for inductive loads with compressors and data is for reference only.
Q5: How quickly can I charge the AC180P?
-
A: With up to 1,440W input, using Turbo Charging mode via the BLUETTI App, the AC180P can be fully charged in 1.5-2 hours.
Q6: What's the difference between Silent, Standard, and Turbo Charging modes?
Charging Mode |
Input Power |
Charging Time (Estimated) |
Silent |
260W |
4.9 hours (4.9-5.4 hrs) |
Standard |
~1,000W |
1.7 hours (1.7-2.2 hrs) |
Turbo |
~1,440W |
1.3 hours (1.3-1.8 hrs) |
-
A: These are the 3 AC charging modes of AC180P, each with different input power and speed. Silent mode generates only 45dB of sound.
Q7: Does AC180P support BLUETTI App control?
Q8: What kind of solar panel should I choose for AC180P?
-
A: Opt for panels with 12-60V total open circuit voltage, max. input power of 500W, and MC4 connectors. Recommended: 1× PV420 (~2.7 hrs), 1× PV350 (~3.3 hrs), or 2× PV200 (~2.9 hrs). Times are for reference only.
Q9: Is the AC180P waterproof?
Q10: Can I use or charge AC180P in sub-zero temperatures?
-
A: Use is fine in cold weather, but avoid charging below freezing. Operating temperature ranges: Charging: 0℃-40℃, Discharging: -20℃-40℃.
Q11: Can it be laid on its side to save space?
-
A: No, this may damage the internal structure. Always keep it upright.
Q12: Is it possible to replace the built-in battery?
-
A: No. Contact BLUETTI Customer Service for any internal battery issues.
Q13: Can I expand its capacity by connecting it to B80/B230/B300/B300S batteries?
-
A: The AC180P doesn't support capacity expansion with B80, B230, or B300 batteries but can be charged by these through Power Bank Mode. Aviation to DC7909 cable is needed for B80, and P090D for B230/B300. The cable will be available in mid-July.
