Expansion Capabilities and App Usage

The AC200L power station is designed with expansion capabilities, making it well-suited for scenarios requiring uninterrupted power. It is specifically engineered for use with BLUETTI's designated expansion batteries, including the B210, B230, and B300 models, to enable consistent performance during extended operations or power outages. This compatibility enables users to increase the system's energy storage capacity. The AC200L supports various battery configurations to accommodate different requirements. By integrating two B210 batteries, the total energy capacity reaches approximately 6,348Wh. Connecting a single B230 battery with the AC200L yields a combined energy storage of about 4,096Wh.

For maximum energy storage of roughly 8,192Wh, two B300 batteries can be linked to the AC200L, offering improved power reserves. AC200L integrates an advanced Battery Management System (BMS) and a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar controller to improve charging efficiency and battery longevity while providing protection against overcharging and deep discharge. Do note that the AC200L is designed for exclusive use with BLUETTI's expansion batteries, thereby excluding compatibility with third-party battery expansions.

Smartphone App Usage

The AC200L power station offers remote management and monitoring capabilities through its Bluetooth and app integration. You can control and observe the power station's performance from a distance, using a dedicated app available for both iOS and Android devices. This app provides real-time information on battery status, power input and output, and estimated time remaining until the battery is fully charged. Additionally, it allows for remote operation, including switching ports on or off and changing settings.


The AC200L itself features a large display that shows important information such as battery level / power usage, and the device's status. Once setup (email registration required) through Bluetooth, you'll need to connect. Once accomplished you'll notice the device has 2.4 GHz wifi, connect it to your Wifi and in the future, you can remotely control the AC200L with your smartphone.  

The app not only tracks the power flow from solar panels and the grid compared to the power being used but also allows users to select from different charging modes—standard, turbo, and silent. A silent mode is especially beneficial for indoor use, as it charges the device quietly at a lower wattage.
