Anybody tried Bluetti AC200l?

levbob

The Bluetti AC200l has a 30 amp connector so you could plug a Tab directly into it.

Has anybody tried this as an aid to camping without shore power?  if so, can you run AC and for how long?
Our Tab 360 is Boondocks with 2 x 190 Watt solar panels and one 100 amp hour lithium battery.  On a hot
night wondering it power bank like this would allow use of AC.

AC200l can have solar panels attached during day, I think 2 200 watt portable panels are possible.

Thanks for any input.

It will run for about 1 hour. You would need a prohibitively large number of expansion batteries to run the A/C for hours at a time.

Owners have been running the "AC on battery" for several years now. The battery banks have to be fairly large, but owners have worked out what they need to make the AC happen.  Even back to the "older" AGM batteries.

This is basically a math problem.  How many watts does the AC need?  How many amps does your Bluetti have?  What size is the inverter in the Bluetti, and is it powerful enough to provide the power that the AC will need to work successfully?  

And, after all that: lower your expectations of what you might get out of the AC.  Look over these many threads that discuss "running the AC on battery".  If you find older threads, you will see phrases like "not possible".  Newer threads, when lithium setups and larger portable panels appeared, will show that it can be and is being done.

I have the Ecoflow Delta 2, it provides 1800 watts through an inverter with a 1024 Amp hour battery. I can plug my 320s into one of the 20 amp AC outlets with an adapter and run my Air conditioner for an hour to an hour and a half depending how hot it is and how often the compressor runs. I have an extra 1024 Amp hour battery and together they can run my Air conditioner for 2 to 3 hours. Solar panels can add a little more time but not much, maybe 10 to 20 more minutes more run time. Plenty of time for a nice nap, but not all day comfort.
